A client of mine is wanting me to port some of our software to the
Blackberry handheld. Being that its Pascal code, I'd prefer sticking to a Pascal compiler.. And since FPC is seriously cross platform, I have to ask: To make this work on a reasonable time frame you will probably have to get involved in some way. Since Free Pascal is open source you can basically: 1 - Start a port yourself. The Free Pascal team can help you with any questions about this. 2 - Pay someone to port it ( http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Bounties ) 3 - Wait until someone else needs this and do a port Another option is to use Midlet Pascal. It isn't developed since january, but is a great tool. It generates MIDP java bytecode from pascal code, and that will run on Blackberry. One problem is that it only supports non-object oriented pascal and it doesn't implement the pascal run-time library, so your code will need extensive changes. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
