Currently there is none. 1.9.2 had NetBSD/macppc support for a while, but it wasn't maintained. > I've tried to compile the latest sources (svn), but : (as jonas already said, for current CVS you need 2.0 as starting compiler) > My questions are: > - is there interest in having a fpc binary package for NetBSD ?

The problem with NetBSD and OpenBSD was that usage was near zero, and maintaining installations was more work than that I actually invested in the port, specially now that I also have Linux and FreeBSD 64-bit installs on the same machine. Maybe in the mid-long term with XEN this will become less of a problem. I quickly looked into this, but currently the problem seems to be that Linux aims for Xen3 support, and the BSDs for Xen2. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
