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). -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I'm not the right one to answer this question but I believe that this depends mainly on availability of a maintainer for this operating system. You may try building the compiler (and RTL) for that platform and it may work well for you, but you may encounter some issues. > Another question is on 2.6.0 on Linux.

It should be possible to build against your version of glibc, but you'll probably have to do it yourself (or use FPC binaries provided by your distribution). Search for 'buildfaq.pdf' in order to learn more on how to build FPC yourself. Make sure to also have libgdb available in the right place in order to have debugging support available in the fp ide (e.g. by using one of precompiled versions available in the "contrib" section of our FTP server). > I have various other stuff going wrong when trying to build some of the > samples like the fpc compiler not being able to find certain libraries. > Should I post the error messages here or should I look for a bug tracker? This depends on what the 'certain libraries' are. If you try to compile samples linking to external (3rd party) libraries, this is no fpc bug - you need to make sure to have development packages of the respective 3rd party libraries installed using tools appropriate for your distribution first.
