RE : [fpc-pascal] 2.6.0 for Solaris?

2012-05-09 Thread Ludo Brands
 
 Hi, I was looking to try FPC but I saw the latest release 
 isn't available for Solaris, only 2.4something. Do you guys 
 plan on releasing the new version on Solaris? Do you intend 
 to keep supporting Solaris?
 
2.6.0 is available for intel from
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.6.0/i386-solaris/fpc-2.6.0.i386-sola
ris.tar.gz and
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.6.0/x86_64-solaris/fpc-2.6.0.x86_64-
solaris.tar.gz

Thanks a lot, I will try them out.

Do you happen to know why they aren't shown from the downloads page on 
freepascal.org?

There is a directory for Solaris SPARC but it is empty. Is it possible to
get 2.6.0 for Solaris SPARC? Thanks again.


I've got a copy that I've built and run here, but I started off with an 
earlier version and had to jump through a few hoops to get it installed.


I strongly recommend using 2.6 as an interim release on SPARC, since 
there were code-generation bugs that weren't fixed until a few months 
ago- the fixes are in 2.7.1 but haven't been backported.


Having said that, 2.7.1 plus the trunk version of Lazarus work fine 
together for basic projects (there's things I don't routinely test, like 
database access).
