GPC Installation

Install GPC either by just running the Win32 self-extracting installer and following the instructions in the wizard dialogs, or by extracting the files in the tarball archive, with the directory structure retained.

BUILDING A GPC COMPILER FOR MINGW

Mingw now has a fully functional self-hosting toolchain, called MSYS.

Building GPC with Mingw + MSYS is as straightforward as building it on any other system. However, in order to get a full GPC runtime library, you also need to download os-hacks.h and copy it to your Mingw installation's "include" directory (typically /mingw/include/) before attempting to "configure" and "build" GPC.

You need to download and install the full Mingw release, and the MSYS release.
