This might be, because you compiled it without a libgdb which in turn is
the one who links dynamically to libc. Most FPC applications (if they
don't use threads or a WideString manager) don't require libc and thus
don't need to link to it (which AFAIK is also the case for the IDE if it
doesn't link to libgdb).
That's a good explanation, thank you. I would like to have the debugger
support.
That will require that you can find a precompiled libgdb- preferably a
version that's already supported by the options in gdbint.pp. Or build
one from source (which I've done on several systems).
I've just checked my SPARC Solaris 10 and I've not gone to the trouble:
fp was built without gdblib.
I'm planning to go through the build again a few times for various reasons
including I want to get a current copy on Solaris SPARC. I didn't get (all)
the units built and there are some other minor annoyances in the way it
worked out (no symlink from fpc to the ppcx module) and if it doesn't go
like you said I'll post back to the list.
You normally have to set up the ppc symlink manually, irrespective or
platform. I usually use two stages, e.g. ppcsparc -> ppcsparc-2.4.4 and
ppcsparc-2.4.4 -> /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.4.4/ppcsparc, and in cases where
I'm e.g. running Lazarus I tell it to use the "one in the middle" i.e.
ppcsparc-2.4.4.
