Hi,
GNU Pascal's main claim to fame (besides "Borland Pascal 7" support)
was also supporting both ISO standards (7185, 10206). There are DJGPP
builds available. But GNU Pascal hasn't been maintained in many years.
Still, it works!
I made a stab at getting GPC to compile on later versions of GCC several years
ago, but never got past the hurtle of getting it to compile in the first place.
I had too much trouble getting the version of gcc it needed to work.
Fixing it would be a relatively simple task, (compile with last known
working version of gcc, install next version, fix errors, recompile,
repeat as necessary to get to last version of gcc), but I couldn't ever
get it to compile properly. I had the same problem with Gnu Modula-2,
never could get a working version of that out of the source distributions.
Free pascal does an excellent job, but it's never bad to have options.
Perhaps I'll make another attempt, don't wish to maintain it, just to
get it working with later gcc versions, perhaps at that point someone
else can pick up it's maintainance.
