Hi all, I am on the warpath trying to compile a set of pascal files that were left to me by a predecessor. My latest issue is that my files have the statement "Uses graph". Looking online, I find that this is a Borland thing referring to the use of the Borland Graphics Interface (BGI).
I have found that GNU supports a package called GRX (http://grx.gnu.de/download/index.html), and the link "http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/Graph-unit.html#Graph-unit" says it's known to work under Cygwin. I have extracted the files into my cygwin installation at /usr/local/src, and am looking at the makefiles. Unfortunately, there is only a mingw specific makefile and not a cygwin specific one. I have not yet worked with mingw, and don't really know how these two correlate.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for compiling this for cygwin?
Is there any particular reason why you are using Cygwin? You might want to try a Mingw version, which has all that stuff built in (with an IDE): http://www.gnu-pascal.de/contrib/chief/win32/dev_gnu_pascal-1.9.4.8.exe
