to install some of my programs, a FreeBSD user requires a current GPC version (preferably newer than 20000717).

Obviously, I don't know much about FreeBSD. What he told me was:
: And the version 2.0 of GPC, as can be found here: : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gpc&stype=all
So, is the 19990118 port also there, or what could I tell him?
And are there no more recent ports (as I said, I'd prefer 20000717 or newer)?
I had a close look at my port. In its pkg-descr it says:
GNU Pascal is part of the GNU compiler family, GNU CC or GCC. It combines a Pascal front-end with the proven GNU C back-end for code generation and optimization. Unlike utilities such as p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter.
The current release 2.0 implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 1), a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206), and Borland Pascal.

On the other hand # gpc -v delivers:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386--freebsd4.3/2.8.1/specs gpc version 19990118, based on gcc-2.8.1
Perhaps you know what happened?
You could try to use the linux-emulation to install a later version of gpc. This probably will be big fun :-)
Well, then perhaps rather directly the Linux version of the GPC compiled program. ;-) (But I don't think he'd like this. ;-)

And - of course I do not dare to give this advice - there also is FreePascal forFreeBSD. It will install without any problems.
