Me too.
I'm building the Win32 and Win64 within a Docker container on Linux,
keeping the same directory structure which the official Lazarus builds
use.
It builds Lazarus trunk and FPC trunk. I've attached the build script;
maybe it can help someone.
It's certainly possible to build other platforms (Linux, DOS, macOS,
OS2, whatsoever), but I don't need them. That's why I focused on
Windows only.
Unfortunately, you cannot build OS/2 releases of FPC on Linux, because
the needed port of GNU binutils is not available there. It might be
possible to build it from Gitlab CI using the SSH runner if you have a
running OS/2 instance with SSHD.

3.4.0.
Imho, it'd be desirable to have yearly releases with only some
enhancements
and new features instead of waiting for big steps for more than 6
years.
What environment and architecture are you on?
I've started making unofficial releases of FPC 3.3.1 ('main' - aka
'trunk'). I
started this mainly because I have software that requires features in
FPC
3.3.1 that others wanted to test too - and I simply can't sit around
for a few
more years, waiting for the FPC team.
Think of it as "FPC Community Edition" releases. ;-) These will come
out
monthly.
I'm considering merging in a few outstanding MRs too for those releases
(after
I did a round of triaging).

ps: I'll probably rename the project at some point.

Graeme
