Gardens Point Component Pascal exists in two versions: one for .NET and the
other for the JVM. The JVM version can be run on any installation of the the
Java Runtime Environment version 1.2 or later (actually, it can be made to
work with version 1.1.6+ also). The .NET version requires the .NET SDK V2. We
no longer support version 1 releases.
Installer-based releases
As of version 1.1.4 there are InstallShield-based installers for gpcp. These
do the usual installation, and set up environment variables and so on. Of
course, this only applies to the Windows platforms. Just download the
“setup.exe” file, and run it.
STOP PRESS The compiler distribution
was last updated on 23 January, 2007. GPCP version 1.3.4
is the final installer to be released for .NET version 1.1. The 1.3.8 version for JVM will follow shortly.
Zip-archive-based releases
There are several archives for gpcp that may be dowloaded; none are larger
than 3Mb. The current version is 1.3.3. The *.zip files have the sources
with Microsoft CR/LF format. The *.gz files have the sources with the Unix
LF format for line-markers.
Unpacking the Archive
If you are installing the .NET version we strongly urge you to use the Install-Shield version!
Unix/Linux etc: JVM version
If you want the jvm version of gpcp, then you should download gpcp-1.3.3-JVM.tar.gz.
Unpack the gpcp distribution in your home directory also, using gunzip, and then
tar -xvf. This will create a file hierarchy rooted at $HOME/gpcp. This directory
will be the $CPROOT environment variable which the cprun and cpint shell script
refer to. Documentation will be in $HOME/gpcp/docs.
Bug Reports
Please report any bugs, or send any praise, to
gpcp@qut.edu.au.
