finding recipe for x86_64 or x86 or Cygwin or MingW or whatever will work

    I installed Cygwin onto an Alienware M17x-R3 running Windows 7 and
also downloaded various files from http://www.gnu-pascal.de/ to add
Pascal to the list of compilers.

I successfully ran the classic Hello World program under C.

However I have been unable to install Gnu Pascal Compiler although I
believe I have followed the instructions in the manual.  I have tried
both software installation and direct use of a binary file.

I have gpc source files, too.  I also downloaded the source files for
gcc 3.2.3 and gcc 3.4.3 because the manual seems to indicate that I
should compile against a version that produces a standard compiler.  I
have the gpc source file:  gpc-20060325/.

I got as far as the makeinfo file in the manual.  Here is the tail of a
verbose output from makeinfo:

$ tail verbosemakeinfo.txt
checking for .preinit_array/.init_array/.fini_array support... no
checking if mkdir takes one argument... no

	I have also attempted to install gcc-3.4.3 with the suffix modifier. The output from make with the -d and -i switches is also available.

	Should I specify a different host, target, etc.?

 What ingredients am I missing to complete the recipe?

    Thank you for your help and your time!

        Sincerely,
