Hello out there!

I'm looking for GPC ported to HP3000 systems (PA-RISC cpu). At the office, i have access to two HP3000 machines, but no developer tools. As I'm pascal programmer, i would like to have a compiler on that machine(s). But prior to buying the HP pascal compiler, it would be nice to see if my ideas would work and to get a feeling for the performance. Did someone the port successfully and has a binary "distribution"? Or are there other "free" Pascal compilers fpr HP3000?

I haven't heard of anybody using GPC on a HP3000. Maybe you can find a GCC binary at the HP-UX Porting & Archive Centre [hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk] You could use that to bootstrap your own GCC (and GPC) You must have the C libraries and header files to do this. Unfortunately these are often part of some "development package" which also includes the compiler itself...

If you have the libraries & headers, but can't find a GCC binary, it is still possible to bootstrap from a different machine, but that's a non-trivial exercise.
