GPC Installation
Install GPC either by just running the Win32 self-extracting installer
and
following the instructions in the wizard dialogs, or
by extracting the files in the tarball archive, with the directory
structure
retained.
BUILDING A GPC COMPILER FOR MINGW
Mingw now has a fully functional self-hosting toolchain, called MSYS.
Building GPC with Mingw
+
MSYS is as straightforward as building it on any other system.
However,
in order to get a
full GPC runtime library, you also need to download os-hacks.h
and copy it to your Mingw installation's "include"
directory (typically /mingw/include/) before attempting to "configure"
and
"build" GPC.
You need to download and install the full Mingw
release, and the MSYS
release.
