Hello,

Though I have a question about the GPC compiler, I hope that you could help 
me, as there is no newsgroup for the GPC compiler.
I use DJgpp in the command line of Windows98SE (i.e. DOS 7.1) and 
(hopefully?) installed it properly. A simple "Hello World" program, written 
in C, can be compiled without any problems using gcc.
But if I try to compile a Pascal program using the Gnu Pascal Compiler 
(GPC), I always get an error from ld.exe, telling me that the linker can't 
find -lgcc.
The source file looks as follows:
> program Pi;
> var i : integer;
> begin
>   i := 5*5 + 2;
> end. 
Nothing very complex (I don't even use output to make sure, that the 
program does not need any other units/libraries).
Then, I try to compile this source using
> gpc filename.pas
This results in the error
> e:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lgcc
If I search for this library (gcc.a), I can't find it anywhere.
Has someone of you already experienced this problem and can tell me how to 
fix it?

Thanks in advance
Peter Gertner
