Kevan:
Still no success in getting a working gpc built...
Thank you for working on this.
I second that!
It's a great relief to me to see that we have a chance of keeping GPC alive on MacOS for another decade, which I think you will achieve if you get the 10.10 compile going. I am still working on 10.7 because I feared GPC would fail to install on the new OS.
It failed for me in 10.10.5. The installation also modified the system sed and that cause me a lot of trouble. Installation scripts must NEVER ever modify system programs!
If you need someone to test your makefiles and installation, I will buy a new Mac just for the purpose. If you want a place to serve your binaries in the future, I am happy to host them for you on our Pascal page. Okay: neither of those offers is worth much, I suppose, but I hope they show my appreciation.
Thanks. There are some not-as-nice alternatives. I have gotten the p2c translator going again under 10.10.5:

FreePascal folks are working on standardizing their compiler so it may also be able to compile eventually. Another possibility is conversion to Ada and then compiling. However, getting GPC going again would be great.
