The normal procedure is to type first `./configure' and then `make LANGUAGES=pascal' in the GCC directory that contains the GPC source in a subdirectory `p'. However I know that mingw32 needs special care.

Like I said before, I can't do anything with "configure" under Win32. The system simply fails to recognise the script as something that it can execute. This is so even when trying to run the script under Bash. Since this script seems really to be a unix thing, perhaps an alternative could be made for non-unix systems? - basically, either to translate the "configure" script into batch commands that the Dos or Windows command interpreters can process (which is probably impossible, because the script seems too complex to translate into a Dos batch file) or to write a Pascal (or C) program that does everything that the "configure" script does. I would do this myself (i.e., translate into a Pascal program) if I understood the script - but I don't (at least, not most of it). Does this seem a feasible option, or am I barking up the wrong tree here? If it is feasible, does anyone wish to take up the task? PS: Perhaps I can get bash to run the script. If I try to run "configure.in", bash seems to start trying to run it, and then finally chokes. However, with "configure", it just says that the file does not exist - which is not true. Doing "ls -all config*" shows that the attributes of "configure.in" are "-rw-r--r--", while those of "configure" are "-rwxr-xr-x". Is the difference significant? If so, what parameters do I pass to "chmod" so as to change the attributes of "configure" to the same one as "configure.in"? Thanks. Best regards, The Chief -------- Dr. Abimbola A.
