Hi, I have just reinstalled Cygwin which comes with gpc version 20040516, based upon gcc-3.3.3. The gcc version is 3.4.4. I am assuning that there are OK, because they were provided as binaries that were bundled in the Cygwin install.

I have installed XView ( from xview-3.2p1.4-18c-cygwin.tar.bz2, from http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/xview/) and am trying to write a small example program to illustrate linking a Pascal program to XView. I attach my files (p.p, x_message.c and my Makefile).

When I do a make I get the error message:

$ make gpc -o test p.p x_message.o -I /usr/openwin/library -Lxview -LX11 p.p:6: warning: missing string capacity -- assuming 255 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: crtbegin.o: No such file: No such file or directory make: *** [test] Error 1

What is the output of "gpc -print-file-name=crtbegin.o" ?

By the way, are you sure that you want to pass "-Lxview -LX11", rather than "-lxview -lX11" ?

Finally, that GPC version is *very* old.
