Trying to get strings output for GPC to work, I needed a win32 gpc binary to check my changes to GDB. But I have problems both with the latest cygwin binary port ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/win32/cygwin/2.95.3/gpc-2001 0924.i686-pc-cygwin.tar.gz With the latest cygwin tools (uploaded using cygwin setup program) I get a problem that seems related to the fact that the assembler is called without any argument. $ gpc -v test.p Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3/specs gpc version 20010924, based on 2.95.3 20010315 (release) /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3/gpcpp.exe -lang-pascal -v -iprefix /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/specsi686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3/ -famtmpfil e=/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc000288 -fdelphi-comments -D__GNU _PASCAL__ -undef -D__GNUC__=2 -D__GNUC_MINOR__=95 -D__GPC__=2 -D__GPC_MINOR__=0 -D__GPC_RELEASE__=20010924 -D__BITS_LITTLE_ENDIAN__=1 -D__BYTES_LITTLE_ENDIAN__= 1 -D__WORDS_LITTLE_ENDIAN__=1 -Di386 -D_WIN32 -DWINNT -D_X86_=1 -D__STDC__=1 -D_ _stdcall=__attribute__((__stdcall__)) -D__cdecl=__attribute__((__cdecl__)) -D__d eclspec(x)=__attribute__((x)) -D__OS_DOS__=1 -D__i386__ -D_WIN32 -D__WINNT__ -D_ X86_=1 -D__STDC__=1 -D__stdcall=__attribute__((__stdcall__)) -D__cdecl=__attribu te__((__cdecl__)) -D__declspec(x)=__attribute__((x)) -D__OS_DOS__=1 -D__i386 -D_ _WINNT -Asystem(winnt) -Acpu(i386) -Amachine(i386) -remap -D__CYGWIN32__ -D__CYG WIN__ test.p /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/cca00288 GNU Pascal Compiler PreProcessor version 20010924, based on gcc-2.95.3 20010315 (release) (80386, BSD syntax) #include "..." search starts here: #include <...> search starts here: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/specsi686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3/include /usr/local/include /include /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3/include /usr/include End of search list. /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3/gpc1.exe /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMI NI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/cca00288 -quiet -dumpbase test.pas -version -famtmpfile=/cygd rive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc000288 -o /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1 /LOCALS~1/Temp/ccb00288 GNU Pascal version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) (i686-pc-cygwin) compiled by GNU C version 3.0.1.
