Scott:
My question was more to the idea of what features you are using in GPC that prevent you from moving to another (non-gpc) compiler.
None. I have (after much effort) gotten the p2c translator working on my programs on the Mac. Other folks have gotten fpc working on them.
It's a pity that GPC is not as stable and supported as I thought. I still may abandon Apple, but I'm forced at this point to abandon GPC.

As a last resort, you can always use a virtual machine. I do my Pascal work using Parallels (not with GPC, but with Prospero). It’s not the same thing as having it native on OS X, but it’s OK.

That's a great suggestion! However, I prefer open source methods so that I'm not trapped by proprietary software. Do you know if GPC runs under Wine (https://www.winehq.org/)?

Dear Tom,

I have not tried Wine, but I use Oracle's open-source Virtual Box on my Apple.
I have Red-Hat 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines, and Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. I compiled GPC for all but the Windows 64-bit, with help from other GPC users, but recorded how to do it here, with binaries:
http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/Pascal.html
The Windows 32-bit GPC binary works fine on 64-bit Windows. But the fastest GPC code I get on the 64-bit linux machine.
Yours, Kevan

Very cool. I will keep that in mind. How long does it take to boot up a linux? Can the files from the virtual machine be transferred to my main machine or just be there?

Thirty seconds or so.

Yes, you can share folders with the main machine. So I compile my gpc library for all platforms in the same place, giving it a different file name.
Yours, Kevan
