The master ftp site for GNU Pascal is kampi.hut.fi. The source of the compiler, binary distributions for certain platforms and other GNU Pascal related files can be found in
ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/.This site is mirrored on
ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/gnu/pascal/.The latest developers' releases can be downloaded from
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/.
On most UNIX systems, you will install GNU Pascal by compiling it. Since GNU Pascal shares its back-end with GNU C, you will need the GNU C source, too. Please download gcc-2.7.2.1.tar.gz (no other version!) from a GNU ftp mirror. (See the list on the GNU home page for the site closest to you.)
When you are using GNU Pascal on a DOS system, you will need either the DJGPP or the EMX development environment. On an OS/2 system, you will need EMX (see below).
DJGPP is available from any SimTel mirror in the vendors/djgpp subdirectoy. (Look into the DJGPP FAQ (311 kB characters) for ftp addresses.) For using GNU Pascal you need at least
EMX is an environment for creating 32-bit applications for DOS and OS/2. It is available via anonymous ftp from
The GNU development tools contain the GNU C compiler which is in fact not needed to use GNU Pascal. However the C library is needed.
