I am using the PC version (DJGPP, MingWin) of the gcc (MS-DOS, Windows 95/NT/XP) for several years in lectures and for programming purposes. Never I found any severe problem or error.

Formerly I wrote many Pascal programs and I would like to install a version of the GPC compiler to be able to recompile these program for Win32. I never was successful to complete this installation.

After the recent installation of gcc 3.20 I found a new copy of gpc on the Simtel mirrors and tried another gpc installation.

Download and unzipping of gpc together with gcc/djgpp (version gpc2953b.zip, 13.5.2002) produced a startable installation of gpc (the gpc command is working when either typing "gpc" alone or "gpc --verbose"), but I am not able to compile any program. ( "gpc lix.pas" results in the error message "gpcpp.exe: djgpp.ver: No such file or directory (ENOENT)", see attachment x.x or more verbose x.a) ).

In a second try I fetched gpc directly from the site http://www.gnu-pascal.de/ in the file gpc-2.1.i586-pc-msdosdjgpp.zip. Installing this file together with the necessary gcc tools results in the same problem as above. (see attachment x.y and inst-p.bat)

What is the reason of the error message gpcpp.exe: djgpp.ver: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

By the way I didn't succeed to install gpc with MingWin too. Compiling programs with "gpc lix.pas" results in "ld: cannot open crt2.o: No such file or directory"

Could you please kindly help me solving the problem?

Yours sincerely

Frank Braun

PS:

Yes I read readme, news, install, faq, and bugs.

Yes I wrote a similar gpc section like the gcc section in djgpp.env: ( [gpc] COMPILER_PATH=%/>;COMPILER_PATH%%DJDIR%/bin LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%%DJDIR%/lib;%DJDIR%/contrib/grx20/ lib ) res. ( [gcc] LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%%DJDIR%/lib

[gpc] LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%%DJDIR%/lib )

Yes I tried getting the right files but the files mentioned in the documentation are sometimes no longer available. In these cases I used the next higher version or alternativly the newest version. i.e.: http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc_20.html says `v2/djdev203.zip' (C library) `v2gnu/bnu2951b.zip' (assembler, ...) `v2gnu/gcc2952b.zip' (gcc) `v2gnu/gdb418b.zip' (debugger) `v2gnu/mak379b.zip' (make) `v2gnu/txi40b.zip'

The file install. says: - the C library, `v2/djdev201.zip', and - `binutils' (assembler, etc.), `v2gnu/bnu270b.zip'.

I tried both djdev201/203. bnu2951b/270b is not available so I used bnu213b
