[GNU Pascal] How I installed BGI2GRX

For a long time, I tried to install BGI2GRX (with GRX23 and BCC2GRX)
and didn't succeed..
I think now that it is due to a linking compilation problem with GPC.
(I use GNU Pascal compiler version 2.0 beta 19990503 with GNU C
2.8.1.) I couldn't run make_all.bat (to install BGI2GRX demo files)
and I couldn't compile any Pascal source with the unit BGI2GRX.

Here is what I did to solve the problem (I think it might interst
those who have the same problem)  :
1/ I put BGI2GRX.PAS in C:\DJGPP\lib\djgpp\gcc-lib\djgpp\2.81\units.
2/ In the file make_all.bat, I replaced "automake" by "autobuild".
3/ I ran make_all.bat (it failed but created bgi2grx.o, bgi2grx.gpi,
sh_funcs.o and sh_funcs.gpi).
4/ I renamed BGI2GRX.PAS into bak_BGI2GRX.PAS, and SH_FUNCS.PAS into
bak_SH_FUNCS.PAS.
5/ I ran, for the second time, make_all.bat... and it created the exe
files.

In fact, there is another problem with the demo file COLORS.PAS :
There is errors in lines 42,,43,,46, 54, 55, 58, 66, 67, 70, 78, 79
and 82. To compile this file, I had to replace in these lines "Word"
by "Trunc".

Now, I can compile my own files with the BGI2GRX unit, using
bgi2grx.o.
To compile files that include two units (BGI2GRX and Crt, for
example), I have to use the same kind of trick. Do you know something
better ?
