No fpc3.0 issue, seems to be like this for a long time: my oldest fpc available is 2.0, and it shows the same...

Thanks and congrats on the 3.0.0 release of FPC, looking forward to using Pestering Peacock :)

We use FPC every day and our team would like to move over to 3.0.0, however we are encountering an issue and I would greatly appreciate confirmation that it's not a problem we can work around on our end.

I am referring to http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29547 .

Any workarounds at all?

Cheers guys!

Thank for your job and forwarding good doing.

Only want to notice a little disappointment, when download a new FPC version and try to install: even if I choose Minimum installation - installer ask me about the path to Android NDK files. Not good if I'm not in plan to write for Android , at least this time. So I have to download Android NDK - 736MB files, that is not simple with my pure internet connection. Also if connection will broken - I'll try again and again until success. Be good to provide download all needed (especially big) things through torrent if possible. And of cause I would be some more glad if Minimum installation of FPC don't need Android NDK (but think if it is - there was no another way).

Are you sure you got your FPC installation binary from official source?

Cyrax: finally clean for me that this not the problem of FPC, so I don't want to interfere to a general joy in this branch)). So propose to remove your last post, and then I remove my. And also want to thank you.

my oldest fpc available is 2.0, and it shows the same...

I just found 2.0.4 on my hard drive

Perhaps now is time to delete that as the hd running out of space

Re: FPC 3.0.0 "Pestering Peacock" -- AIX support
« Reply #52 on: May 19, 2016, 04:40:57 pm »
In this announcement, I see:

Free Pascal 3.0.0 is currently available for the following platforms:
...
- AIX 5.3 and later for PowerPC (32 and 64 bit)
...

But under "Downloads" I cannot find any downloads for AIX ...

Can someone please indicate what needs to be done to get this FreePascal compiler to run under AIX?

Thanks in advance,

Stan

Normally you would build a cross compiler for AIX from either Linux or Windows or maybe OSX.
If your AIX system has sufficient resources you may be able to build a native system using the cross compiler to build the system.
Specialize a type, not a var.

The hardest part for me is to build the cross binutils, in particular if it is not linux or freebsd. Once this is done, the cross-compiler is build fairly easily from the sources.

I see 7 powerpc-aix files here: http://svn2.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/binaries/i386-win32/

The easiest way I know to compile FPC for cross-compiling programs for other devices is here: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Small_Virtual_Machines

I had a go for the cross-compiler, but it failed with:

pp.pas(219,36) Warning: Object /lib/crt0.o not found, Linking may fail !
/usr/local/bin/powerpc-aix-ld: cannot find /lib/crt0.o
/usr/local/bin/powerpc-aix-ld: cannot find -lm
/usr/local/bin/powerpc-aix-ld: cannot find -lc
/usr/local/bin/powerpc-aix-ld: cannot find -lbsd
An error occurred while linking

The commands to get here are:

Building the cross-binutils:
./configure --target=powerpc-aix --prefix=/usr/local/lib/powerpc-aix --bindir=/usr/local/bin --program-prefix=powerpc-aix- --disable-werror
make
sudo make install

Building the cross-compiler:
make all OPT="-ap" CPU_TARGET=powerpc OS_TARGET=aix

Maybe this helps.

Please, for the love of Christmas, drop the goofy Ubuntu style cutsy name.

Side note, at first I thought it said "Festering Peacock".

Could be worse though, could be Abner Audubon Peacock....

It is actually a pun on those names. We were discussing if the next major release would be 2.8 or 3.0 at a conference center where was a peacock on grounds making a lot of noise :-)

Don't worry, as far as I know it is a one time joke. I haven't heard anyone suggesting a new name for 3.0.2.

No problem with Ubuntu style name for me. Continue with 3.0.2, please :P
