How do I install the compiler?

If you don't have DJGPP installed on your harddisk, create a directory for GNU Pascal (c:\gpc), and unzip the archives. Make sure you preserve the directory structure (use pkunzip -d). Now, add the directory where gpc.exe lives (c:\gpc\bin) to your path and set the DJGPP environment variable to point to your djgpp.env file:

set DJGPP=c:\gpc\djgpp.env

Then, add this to your djgpp.env file:

---------------------------------------------------------
[gpcpp]
C_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;C_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/lang/pascal;%DJDIR%/include

[gpc]
COMPILER_PATH=%/>;COMPILER_PATH%%DJDIR%/bin
LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%%DJDIR%/lib;%DJDIR%/contrib/grx20/lib
---------------------------------------------------------

The binary distribution should come with a djgpp.env which is already modified, so you may not have to do this.

The GPC online documentation is in GNU info format; you need the Info reader (txi390b.zip) to read it, or use the built-in Info reader of the RHIDE or PENG IDE. To add the GPC documentation to the info directory file, edit the c:\gpc\info\dir file, and locate this section:

---------------------------------------------------------
* GCC: (gcc.inf).
The GNU C, C++, and Objective-C Compiler

* GDB: (gdb.inf).
The GNU Debugger (gdb and gdb-dpmi).

---------------------------------------------------------

To add GPC, change it to look like this:

---------------------------------------------------------
* GCC: (gcc.inf).
The GNU C, C++, and Objective-C Compiler

* GPC: (gpc.inf).
The GNU Pascal Compiler

* GDB: (gdb.inf).
The GNU Debugger (gdb and gdb-dpmi).
