I'm sure this has already been asked here but I can't seem to find an answer in archives or FAQs. So - is there a way of using GPC under Mac OS X?

I am working on it, with help of Pascal Pignard and support from the GPC maintainers. I may summarize previous messages. My plans are: (1) Try to build GPC on Darwin (Mac OS X) -- done (2) Try to build the Hello program -- done

That may just as well be enough for me. I have a program that only does heavy calculations, reads from text files and writes to files and to console. Where could I get this compiler to try it out?

I can put the binaries on my website (somewhere next week, I hope), with these provisions:

(1) It is based on an alpha version of the gpc frontend (gpc-20021128) (2) It is based on a standard version of the gcc backend (gcc-3.2.1), so apple specific compiler options are not supported (3) It passes most of the gpc testsuite, but not all (which means there are known problems with the compiler) (4) It can be used with Mac OS 10.2 only (but a build for Mac OS 10.2.3 is planned) (5) It is entirely your risk to use it.

Alternatively, you may prefer to build the compiler yourself.
