Thanks Mark! All credit to the core developers who've generally made this project a success, and my apologies for bothering them over the years with what's admittedly a fairly obscure platform by now. I think it's worth keeping alive if possible though, because its insistence on fairly strict alignment etc. is useful for showing up potential problems.

I've lost track of what are the issues in this thread, but if the tar of the source files is less than 2G and you want to transfer it tar I have a 2G or so ftp site that you could use to transfer the tar. Let me know and I'll send the details via private email to each of you that needs it. john On 5 May 2017 at 12:00, Mark Morgan Lloyd wrote: > This is something that was discussed on the FPC-Pascal ML but it died. > > I am able to build installation bundles for SPARC running Linux (Debian) > and Solaris (OpenSXCE).

(Personally): AWESOME! This is something that was discussed on the FPC-Pascal ML but it died. I am able to build installation bundles for SPARC running Linux (Debian) and Solaris (OpenSXCE). The fp IDE works but doesn't have libgdb support, and I've got limited time to struggle up the learning curve.

Yes it would be very nice,libgdb missing for IDE is really not a big deal... Please let me know how you can send me the files. For reasons I'd prefer not to discuss, I can't easily get access to e.g. Dropbox so am limited to email, FTP, or something similarly "old school".
