I didn't find a list of maintainers on the home page and I don't know how Free Pascal development is organized. Hopefully the maintainer will speak up and in the meantime I will look at the build guide you mentioned further on. >> Another question is on 2.6.0 on Linux.

There are no binaries provided by my distribution. It's Slackware!

I believe they are fpc libraries but I will have to check again. Do you expect that all of the examples will normally build on Linux without errors or is it normal to have some problems?
