OK, so if I were to get the last binary release (2.0.0?) I should be able to bootstrap to 2.0.2. I don't think I've compiled FPC from scratch before- does it have a test suite? I presume that if I could do an informal build (i.e. I'm not comitting myself to the formal stuff- time is a problem and I don't have the experience) it would help the core developers. 'Fraid I don't have anything bigger/newer than 8-way SPARC-32 here, and I try to avoid running that at this time of year :-) In the longer term I'd like to get Lazarus running on SPARC. At present I'm trying the FPC/Lazarus combination every year or so, but particularly now that Delphi's future is somewhat uncertain... -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
