I'll see what I can do, but not necessarily this evening. My SPARC assembler is about as strong as hospital tea. The "good" news is that this might be SPARC-specific- I've just got 0.9.25 compiled and apparently running on an ARM (little-endian) system, again based on Debian "Etch". However I can't do much real work on this platform- compilation on the hardware available is somewhat sluggish and while I've got some higher-spec boards (or could cross-compile) it all takes time which is in short supply. I'd like to get a big-endian ARM system running as well but I can't promise this in finite time. Is anybody else currently testing Lazarus on a big-endian system? -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
