Hi, I was looking to try FPC but I saw the latest release
isn't available for Solaris, only 2.4something. Do you guys
plan on releasing the new version on Solaris? Do you intend
to keep supporting Solaris?
2.6.0 is available for intel from
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.6.0/i386-solaris/fpc-2.6.0.i386-sola
ris.tar.gz and

There is a directory for Solaris SPARC but it is empty. Is it possible to
get 2.6.0 for Solaris SPARC? Thanks again.
I've got a copy that I've built and run here, but I started off with an
earlier version and had to jump through a few hoops to get it installed.
I strongly recommend using 2.6 as an interim release on SPARC, since
there were code-generation bugs that weren't fixed until a few months
ago- the fixes are in 2.7.1 but haven't been backported.
Having said that, 2.7.1 plus the trunk version of Lazarus work fine
together for basic projects (there's things I don't routinely test, like
database access).
