Package: FPC
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I have recently produced a working port of freepascal to armhf. The
patch has been submitted upstream at
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21554 and has been accepted in
trunk http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=20660
The patch attatched contains
* a backport of the armhf implementation to 2.6.0 (only minor changes
needed).
* a fix for incomplete cleanup after running debian/rules clean
* add code to debian/rules to explicitly specify which arm variant we
want in the call to make compiler_cycle. This allows us to use a
starting compiler from one arm variant to bootstrap another.
* use DEB_*_ARCH_CPU rather than DEB_*_ARCH for working out the "CPU
source" and "CPU target" removing the need to special case armel and
avoiding the need to add a new special case for armhf.
I've tested that passing floating point parameters to C code works
correctly with this patch. I've also tested lazarus with this port of
fpc and it seems to work well enough to load the IDE and compile and run
the default project.
P.S. I'm currently in the process of applying to become a dd and would
like to become a comaintainer of the fpc package.
