looking for help from someone with a mac intel

[jimihendrix]

Im throwing myself at the mercy of this forum 
Basically my time is up

Im looking for some kind soul to compile this for the mac intel, I have a powerpc and cant seem to get it to produce a maci386 binary.
My mate whom Im doing this for, has a macintel but cant get it to compile (he knows nothing about programming )
youll need THtmlPort installed http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/THtmlPort

cheers for this, zed

It is simply not possible to compile i386 binaries on a PowerPC machine using FPC at this time (and it won't be until someone implements 80 or 128 bit floating point emulation).

I thought so, someone here mentioned it was possible, I thought not
bad to hear my fears realized

Cross-compilation intel->powerpc is possible, but not otherwise?

Yes, because x86 cpu's natively support all floating point types supported on PowerPC, but not vice versa. That's also why it is not possible to compile from Win64 to i386 nor to other x86_64 platforms (because Microsoft has deprecated the 80 bit extended floating point support in Win64, while the other platforms haven't -- yet).

Although this may not help your problem I am making a comment in relation to this thread http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,9072.msg44687.html#msg44687.

You asked if someone would be willing to download your code and try it out. Downloading code into a directory, sorting out unit and component dependencies which may not be installed on their system takes time.

I think if you posted your source code to a place like github it would be easy for someone to browse the code, see if they could do something about, then download it if it pickled their interest. They could see something to comment about that would help even if they did not download it.

In effect it pays to minimize the effort a casual reader of the forum requires in order to help.
