Subject: was "Install problem - cannot exec cpp"
BTW: my port is a Cygwin port, although it can compile Mingw programs. There is a separate zip file ('units.zip') that contains precompiled binaries of all the GPC units, plus the WinAPI units.
I have not been able to find the fix to my "cannot exec cpp" problem, but from looking at the GCC documentation it looks like an incorrectly set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX (or other option that sets the driectories that are search for compiler subprograms). I have not set any of these but maybe GPC or MGPC does?
I have skirted round this by copying the pre-compiled units to my working directory using a command line like this...
gpc prog.pas crt.o gpc.o
(However, is there a better way to get the precompiled units to be located & included automatically?)
Now to the main point...
GPC now crashes & produces a stack dump file (or words to that effect). My initial attempts to isolate which part (if any) of my program is causing this have been unsuccessful - it looks as though it might a size thing rather a specific piece of code.
Mark.
