As far as I got it (I'm sure Peter G. can explain it better): Wheezy is a debian designation. Afaik Debian only supports two ARM targets, armv5 (EABI, no hardware float) and armv7 (eabi-hf, vfp3-D16). The pi is armv6 (eabi, vfp2), isn't fully compatible to the formal v7 -hf debian target, and thus would have to live with lowest common denomitor armv5, despite having (vfp2) hardware float support So there is a custom build for v6/vfp(2?) with the name of raspbian. So Raspian is based on Wheezy source level, but compiled for armv6. But the images from the PI website with "Wheezy" in their name are v5, and thus not hf. A month or so back, the PI foundation changed their default distro from "wheezy" (eabi,v5) to raspbian. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
