Referring to my earlier messages, and the help from Frank, who was telling:
The CRT unit needs a curses library (ncurses oder PDCurses). I suppose you haven't installed one, or there's an installation problem with it (probably one of the first errors is something like "curses.h not found" -- unfortunately GCC outputs a lot of IMHO rather useless following messages resulting from the missing file).
If you have installed curses, perhaps another Cygwin user can help you better.
I tried to install PDCurses for my Cygwin set-up.
I think compilation of PDCurses sources was succesful. At least, after compilation, I am getting a whole list of *.o files in my installation directory, which I named PDCurses, inside my $HOME
However, upon including
uses CRT;
in a Pascal program, and running
gpc --automake ...
I still get the same long list of error messages, starting in the beginning with a message that a file 'curses.h' is not found.
In fact, I was looking for this file in my newly built PDCurses folder, but there it isn't neither. I find however a file called
pdcurses.a
in there (besides many others).
Can anyone help me in telling where I should put things up, so that gpc will find what is needed to work with CRT?
Greatly grateful!

Change to you "/" directory, and unpack the archive. When you compile a program using the Crt unit, you should supply "-DUSE_PDCURSES" at the command line.

Growingly desperate on the one side, embarrassed on the other side, but since I want to transfer a couple of long programs to GPC, I fear I have to persist:
There is continuing problem with the CRT unit. These are the data I have:
1. I am working with Cygwin (currently version 1.5.5-1 2. Via the Cygwin install-setup you can add ncurses to the installation. That is what I did. I now find on my machine e.g. /usr/include/ncurses/ncurses.h ... and /usr/src/ncurses-5.3-4 3. There is even a /bin/ncurses-test-dll/ncurses.exe test program, and this works fine. 4. I installed the gcc-gpc combination, together with cygwin. I find gpc 'based on gcc 3.3.1'.
When trying a test-program, having
uses GPC, CRT;
and going for
gpc --automake
the GPC unit compiles well, but the CRT unit provides problems.
The actual problem start with the message /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/units/crtc.c:135:18: term.h: no such file or directory and then a list of approximately 20 lines of error messages, I guess, all going back to this one line.
Changing to
gpc --automake -DUSE_NCURSES ...
does not make any difference.
Also the PDCurses attempt, installing only binaries, wasn't succesfull.
Can somebody help here?
Grateful to you all.
