/But/ I've got a vague recollection that somebody else had problems running on some router or other, which is one of the reasons why I fired things up at the end of last year and did some careful builds. I can't remember exactly where that one got to- I suggest that you look back through the fpc-devel and fpc-pascal archive.

The compiler was 2.7.1 (trunk) as of about revision 23218. In practical terms I'd suggest starting off with the current trunk from svn and only trying an older revision if really necessary.

If these don't work for you then I think we need to work out what's going wrong, in case it's a general OpenWRT thing.

I've sent these in a tarball. I trust that you will accept that if the files arrive with the correct checksums that they've run successfully for me here.

Apologies for the lousy threading but our gateway drops some messages.

Michael: Curious thing is that those binaries definitely ran here So there's either something very odd with Qemu/Debian, or with OpenWRT- and I know where I'd put my money.

Dennis: Transfer the binary back off the OpenWRT system to a development system, being very careful to track the file to avoid any possible confusion, and apply cksum to it to make sure it's not been corrupted in transit. Then transfer any other binary (e.g. /bin/sh) off the OpenWRT system and apply file to it, to see how it's described. Also listen to Michael and others since they've done far more recent work on this than I have, and if necessary take the trouble of getting more of the toolchain onto the target system.
