Integer Size on 64-Bit

[Kevan Hashemi]

Greetings,

On Red Hat Linux 6.5 running on a 32-bit machine, I compile GPC to 
obtain a 32-bit Pascal compiler in which the integer type is 4 bytes 
long. I compile TclTk from sources and obtain an executable in which the 
C "int" type is 32 bits long. They work well together.

On Red Hat Linux 6.5 running on a 64-bit machine, I compile GPC to 
obtain a 64-bit Pascal compiler in which the integer type is 8 bytes 
long. I compile TclTk from sources and obtain an executable in which the 
C "int" type is still 32 bits long. They do not work well together.

I can edit my Pascal code to make all integer types a fixed length 
regardless of architecture. But I was wondering if there is a Pascal 
compiler directive that I can use to force the integer size to 32 bits 
on all platforms.

Or perhaps there is a configure option when I compile GPC from its 
sources that will tell the compiler to make the integer type 32 bits.

Yours, Kevan
