FPC port to 9front
« on: December 11, 2024, 06:22:41 pm »
Hello,

Is there a port of fpc to 9front/Plan9? If not, is it possible to port it to that OS?

Using the forum's search facility suggests that it's never been discussed. I suggest that you also check the mailing lists.

There is no port. It has come very rarely on the maillists, but afaik nobody has much knowledge about it.

As written on the mailing list: no, there is not.

If not, is it possible to port it to that OS?

It should be possible if there is a suitable (cross) assembler and linker, but it requires someone knowledgable with the low level API of Plan9.
