Ok, I got GPC up and running (well.. nothing more complex than a 1500 line
program ported from BP7). I used the binaries distributed at
kampi.hut.fi
which were compiled for gcc 2.6.3 as in DJGPP v1.
When I down loaded v1 and installed GPC things worked fine.
I understand that to get GPC to work with v2 (gcc 2.7.2) that
you have to recompile the GPC sources and that will require compilation
of gcc 2.7.2 because GPC is linked with the gcc objects. This is
not a simple task...and as yet I've not tried it and dont know if it
would work.
Since my reason for getting GPC was I needed >64k arrays in some
code that I inherited from someone else. For this it works fine, but
the solution is a pain since I now have separatly installed DJGPP v1 and
v2 and a much smaller hardisk.
If anyone has had success getting GPC to
work with v2 or if there is and development work on a new version
of GPC I would appreciate hearing about it.
hope this helps
