I recently discovered GPC and am attempting to install it on Windows NT, but cannot get it to run. So far I have done the following: * downloaded the MinGW 1.1 distribution from SourceForge.net *
Correct.
added C:\mingw\bin to my PATH per the MinGW 1.1 instructions at SourceForge *
Correct.
downloaded the gpc-19990118.i386-pc-mingw32 distribution
That version is too old. Get a more recent version from: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/win32/mingw32/
- extracted the files to the C:\mingw folder
Not a good idea. Use the directory structure inside the gpc distribution. If I remember correctly, it expects to be installed into "\usr\local" (at least, this is what the recent versions expect). For straightforward operation, make sure that this is what you do. If not, then be prepared to set environment variables such as; GPC_EXEC_PREFIX GCC_EXEC_PREFIX LIBRARY_PATH C_INCLUDE_PATH
You might need to set the last two anyway - e.g., set LIBRARY_PATH=c:\mingw\lib set C_INCLUDE_PATH=c:\mingw\include
