Sure- on an Intel platform. Running on i386- I've just had another session and can confirm that 2.0.2 can build both its own sources and those of 2.0.4, so my earlier problem was definitely something to do with the User Mode Linux kernel. I'll investigate that at some indeterminate point in the future if I have to (UML is useful once you're used to having it). On SPARC- specifically, a 32-bit SPARCstation- trying to compile 2.0.2 using 2.0.0 results in an exception. I've just checked that again and can confirm that. However it occurs to me that it could possibly be the same problem as in the 2.0.4 source but for some reason the error handling is bombing. Whatever, I'll move onto the 2.0.4 source as suggested and see if I can do anything useful there. I'll also investigate building a cross-compiler. I'm hoping to have a couple of newer machines in a few days courtesy of a certain hardware manufacturer who is interested in keeping open source projects going. -- 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
