You mean http://nestedvm.ibex.org/ this ? I gotta take a look at it, it should be possible if the converter plays at binary level instead of source level. I wonder how it converts call to routines residing in dll? JNI? -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.

I noticed on a freshmeat.net announcement that there is a program called Cibyl that converters MIPS binaries into Java bytecode. I wonder if using the fpc cross-compiler to mips-32 would allow FPC/Lazarus to leverage the converter in Cibyl to accomplish the same thing, but for FPC instead of C/C++
