I was trying to find FPC 3.0.4 compiler 64 bit. On this page there is a wrong link:
https://www.freepascal.org/down/x86_64/win64-netherlands.var

It does say you need to use the cross-compiler but the links for the mirrors points to the ftp directory x86_64-win64 while the cross-compiler is in i386-win32. This is for all 3 mirrors.

Also, what is the reason there is no native compiler available for x86_64 Win64?
Lazarus has made the leap to Win64 on Windows 64 bit as default but FPC 3.0.4 64 bit is not even downloadable separately.
There is probably a good reason for this but I couldn't find it on that page.

On the main page it also still says "Current Version 3.0.2" as latest stable version under "Current Version".

You should report this in two parts on the bugtracker
- 'website'
and a feature request for x86_64-win64 distribution
-other  //I guess

It is usually a matter of personnel if a built for a certain platform is omitted.

Specialize a type, not a var.

Changes are live on freepascal.stack.nl and seem ok.

Yes, the files already were on freepascal.stack.nl and correct.
But the original download site pointed (and is still pointing) to x86_64-win64 instead of i386-win32 where the cross-compiler resides.

https://www.freepascal.org/down/x86_64/win64-netherlands.var

I guess if you already changed that the changes take a while to be visible on https://www.freepascal.org.

I see http://freepascal.stack.nl/down/x86_64/win64-netherlands.html is indeed correct now.

It is correct here. Maybe need to refresh?

Yes, it's correct now, thanks.
(I guess Chrome didn't refresh the cache because the server didn't indicate a change)

Hmm, maybe see https://www.stack.nl/notice.html   ?

Public services

In 2018, the university terminated the housing and the network services that they had provided for the student computer association Stack (M.C.G.V. Stack) since 1983, and the association itself decided to disband as an association exclusively for university students.

The alumni united into a new general association that is open to all former members. Unfortunately, the new association is not able to continue a number of the private and public services that had been provided in the past, due to lack of resources. We now focus primarily on member services, such as shell access, email and personal web pages.

You will probably find what you are looking for on SourceForge ....

I am a little puzzled by the new version fp-3.0.4 !
I use computer science since 1966 and I can't do anything with the Fpc comiler under IDE : It says impossible to find unit "system" . Is it possible for a brand new mounting under Ubuntu 18.04. Nothing works also under Buster/Rpi4 4Go !
To work I have mended an old fp-3.0.0 (not again in the distribution !) from another computer (Core-i7 instead of Bi-Xeon Quad)
and now everything work well with the system Ubuntu.  :) . But I need to do calculations on "black holes" the beautiful graphics units PtcGrah and PtcCrt (more than 400 time faster than Graph and Crt !). So, to work elsewhere than Windows, I use first,
the old version fp-3.0.0 with PtcGrah+PtcCrt and for the Raspberry world I use the Wheezy/ RPi3 to compile the interoperable PASCAL source to execute it after under Buster/ Rpi4 that have not the necessary units.
It is confusing for me to ask about systems, I know nothing to it, but to do scientific calculations (like monte-carlo ones) FPC-Pascal with PtcGraph is necessary to do experimental calculations ... I pray you to have operational package . Friendly. Yves.

Seems the IDE didn't get configured, possibly because of your way of installing, or a defective package; look in the manual and configure the units path.

Yes, you are rigth Marcov. There are big holes ( units "system" and PtcGraph, PtcCrt ) in the Ubuntu 18.04 and Rasbian/Buster/Rpi4 distributions of the fp-3.0.4 packages. It is very difficult to devellop new scientific Monte-Carlo calculations on an incomplete package. Friendly yours . Yves .   :)

The Buster Raspberry FPC instalation is indeed not perfect.

Install with the .deb's found from this topic:   https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=46438.45

I downloaded the debs from the last posts in the topic, installed and got a complete fpc, including the packages ptcgraph ptccrt

On Ubuntu, install from source perhaps, not from the Ubuntu repository.
