I'm going to drop working on the larger machine for the moment, I've just checked and a basic "Hello World" works on it which is obviously a good starting point. I will need to use it if I get as far as testing against Solaris 8 (I hope to have Solaris 10 running on newer hardware, but am still trying to fit in time to go collect it). I mean let's face it- what relevance is something with 8x 50MHz CPUs these days? :-) > > Going back to the SEGV problem, is there any way that somebody with my > > minimal > > experience can tackle this? > > Possibly.

OK, that looks pretty good but any suggestions as to how I get the compiler options in? Can I give make a -D, or do I need to break into the make process in some way I don't yet understand, and how can I check that the generated binary is in the intended state once it's built? -- 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
