Re: GPC compile on Mac OS X 10.10.5?

Hello Tom,

If ever you consider a port to an another language, I suggest Ada.
Ada is issued from Pascal with strong type checking and more.
(www.ada2012.org)
It is an ISO standard.
I port all my Pascal programs to Ada since 2000 and I'm very happy with it.
I used P2Ada: http://p2ada.sourceforge.net.

I have some exemples on my web site (in French).
Feel free to ask questions if you are interested in.

Regards, Pascal.
