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
