Hello
I'm sure this has already been asked here but I can't seem to find an answer in archives or FAQs. So - is there a way of using GPC under Mac OS X?
I am working on it, with help of Pascal Pignard and support from the GPC maintainers.
I may summarize previous messages. My plans are:
(1) Try to build GPC on Darwin (Mac OS X) -- done (2) Try to build the Hello program -- done (3) Try to build a sample GUI program (for Mac OS X "Carbon") (4) Try to integrate GPC with Apple's "Project Builder" (4) Try to port a large (300.000 lines) program to GPC (5) Write a compatibilty-report for porting from CodeWarrior Pascal to GPC (6) Same for maintaining a common (conditionalized) source code for CodeWarrior Pascal and GPC (7) Filter out a handful of compiler features that would really assist GPC development on Mac OS X (and porting from CodeWarrior). On this list wil be UNIV parameters, I guess, but this is premature. (8) Either talk to Nick Kledzik (who maintains Apple's Pascal Interfaces) or maintain our own GPC Interfaces for Mac OS X (9) Setup a GPC compatibility website for Mac OS X
(1) This has been done. I have built a prerelease version of GPC running on a Macintosh G4 with Mac OS X.2. It passes most of the GPC testsuite, but not all. (2) The Hello programs compiles, links and runs.
For the other points on the list (or your own wishes), you will have to wait or offer your help.
