Windows install

     Where is the source corresponding to GPC 20070904?

     Where should I find the .gpi files for supplied units (like
unit GPC)?

     If I install a binary distribution for Windows, is there a
follow-up step that must be performed manually?  (like compiling
GPC.PAS)

     Where would I find documentation of the entry points provided
by unit GPC?

     I downloaded and installed dev_gnu_pascal-1.9.4.13.exe
     I started with mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe -- It downloaded
and installed whatever it wanted.

     From the size of dev_gnu_pascal-1.9.4.13.exe I had assumed
it included the source of GPC, but I haven't been able to find it.

     In http://www.gnu-pascal.de/alpha, there is no gcc-core-3.4.5,
and there is no gpc-20070904.

It is supplied as source code.

Read the readme PDF file and other docs supplied with the 
dev+gnu-pascal package.

This is the original FSF version

a version patched specially for mingw can be found at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gcc/Version3/Previous%20Release_%20gcc-3.4.5-20060117-2/gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-2-src.tar.gz/download

(as explained there this source file is unmodified when going to last 
version 3 gcc for mingw, namely 3.4.5-20060117-3)

     I should have asked, Where does the compiler look for .gpi
files if they aren't in the current default directory?

     Are the .gpi files for all supplied/standard units supposed
to be in "GPC/units"?  Is each .gpi file supposed to be in the same
directory as the source file?  (So some will be in 
"GPC/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/units")

     I found the section in GPC/gnu_pascal_readme.pdf that talked
about, on first using the IDE, building "GPC/units/build_units.pas".
I'd rather not use the IDE.

     If I want to compile "build_units.pas" from the command line,
what will cause "gpc" to put each .gpi file in the same directory
as the corresponding source file?  How will "gpc" even find the
source files that are not in my current default directory?

     I've been running gpc by specifying the path to the executable
(rather than by updating my environment PATH).  I found that even 
when I specified enough switches to get it to look somewhere else 
for include files and .gpi files, all new .gpi and .o files were

from the manual gpc.pdf in the directory dev_gpc/info
in the section 5.1 GPC options besides those of GCC

--unit-path=dir[:dir...]
Search the given directories for units and object files.
--object-path=dir[:dir...]
Search the given directories for object files.
--unit-destination-path=dir
Place compiled units (GPI and object files) into the directory dir. The 
default is the current directory.
--object-destination-path=dir
Place compiled object files (e.g., from C files, but not from Pascal
units) into the directory dir. The default is the directory given with
‘--unit-destination-path’.
--executable-path=dir
Place the executable compiled into the directory dir. The default is the
