What was done is for both, but focused on the emulator, because it´s faster to develop on it (well, maybe not considering the lot´s of linker problems I faced so far). There is no intention of translating a emulator executable to the device. In fact, it´s quite easy to create device executables because the gnu binutils work for it. Let's think differently, if I would use Nokia Series 60 Symbian SDK, would there be a difference of what kind of code the emulator likes? I have no idea ... you need to look at the S60 docs and find out. I mean PE or ARM ? It´s not really PE or ARM. PE is a type of executable, ARM is a processor architecture. I don´t remember exactly the name of the executable type on the device, but it´s a special type of PE with modifications. Anyway, maybe I should try compiling for THE DEVICE and then manually run it on the device... My experience so far is that this is easier then writing for the emulator, but it will take a lot of time to build a rtl without a emulator. How should I configure makefiles to get the right cross-compiler? Considering that the current rtl is targeted at uiq, you should read the old topics I posted here about uiq development and do the same for s60, from the start. We also need a mechanism to select which symbian type of target we want. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Ok, I prepared a very basic patch. It shouldn´t affect the rest of the
compiler in any way.
Where should free pascal patches be sent? I am posting here in case
the patch needs to be discussed.
There is a diff and 2 new files to be added to fpc/compiler/systems
It would be great if someone can recompile fpcmake and regenerate all
makefiles =)
I didn´t add the rtl I am creating, because it will likely be modifyed
a lot the next weeks.

Re: [fpc-devel] SymbianOS port
Hi, Sorry to revive such an old conversation, but this is a continuation of the old topic, and would be nice to keep things in one place. To recapitulate, I am trying to build a cross-compiler from i386-win32 to i386-symbian, which is the symbian simulator. The simulator runs executables on the same format as win32 pe, so it should be easy. I already added the target to the files compiler/system.pas, compiler/systems/i_symbian.pas, compiler/systems/t_symbian.pas Next I would like to build the cross-compiler using: make OS_TARGET=symbian But the makefile doesn´t support this target. It tells me to use fpcmake. So I look into makefile.fpc and I have no idea what to change to add symbian target. What do I need to change to add symbian target to the makefiles?? thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

I mean, which files should I start altering? compiler/system.pas, compiler/systems/i_symbian.pas, compiler/systems/ t_symbian.pas In system.pas you mainly have to add an entry to the tsystem enum. You can use the other i_*/t_* files in the systems directory as example for the symbian files.

They call it user interface, but according to my research it´s way beyond that. The most basic aspects are very different on each SDK, so we really need various RTLs. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

I mean, should I wait until it´s reasonably working before inclusion on svn, or we could create a symbianos directory now, and add it´s targets to the makefiles? I think the second option would be easier for me to work with. 1. Add symbian target to the compiler 2. Take the closest existing RTL as a start and start implementing it for Symbian I would like to target both i386-symbian (the emulator) and arm-symbian. Also, SymbianOS has many incompatible versions and User Interface models. There are 4 different SDKs for it. What would be a good way to select which SDK you wish to target? I think it would be rather ugly to add 4 directories for symbian os, and new sdks can be developed in the future. Perhaps some defines could be used? Like UIQ3, UIQ2, S60, etc User interface can be added in different units. The RTL only provides basic access and does not use it. That is then upto for example the LCL.
