We use a FreeBSD-current host with ports-mgmt/tinderbox to create
packages for 5.x, 6.x, 7.x and 8.x. While CURRENT was 7.x we used
to package for 4.x as well. You may create a local port of your
software and package it for all versions at one host.

Sounds like it's a good idea - making a port of it is on my list a long
time.

At least I will not try to do some cross-os-version-compiling, I'd
rather use a bootable thumbdrive containing a complete freebsd 4 ...

Thank you,
Marc

[fpc-pascal] missing functions in libc

2008-08-21 Thread Marc Santhoff
Hi,

I'm trying to compile LPTK 0.9.0 on FreeBSD 4 using a working fpc 2.0.4.
I use this compiler for a long time now and never had the symptoms as
following:

At first the compiler does not find librt and libdl. I know these exist
only on Linux and don't know, why they are tried to be pulled in.

When I delete the -ldl an -lrt from the link.res and start ppas.sh, the
compiler struggles on finding unit libc.

If I add an extra -Fu... to the path where it is found, some functions
are missing. Some of those are 64bit file system functions like stat64,
so I assumed they where newer and tried the libc.pp from fpc 2.0.2, but
the same thing happens (see below). Using "man" there where no such
functions found, although the man pages on freebsd are generally very
good and complete.

This never happened to me, I have written some programs using plain gtk1
or functions from foreign libraries (including libc IIRC), but I never
had any problem. So I'm stuck.

What going on here? How can I repair it?

TIA,
Marc

the libc is only for gnu libc, so the errors are normal. You should try
to find out why unit libc is used.

libdl is mostly uses for dynamically loading dynamic libraries. Probably
that packages declares its own loadlibrary (dlload) equivalents somewhere.

That's a Kylix legacy unit. It means that this package was never fully
converted to FPC. It only exists for linux/x86 with a glibc.

See here : http://wiki.freepascal.org/libc_unit

That's because they are temporary workarounds for the older linux
architectures when they made a 32-bit -> 64-bit off_t transition. They are
not even universal on Linux iirc.

Eliminate use of the libc unit, using mostly baseunix, dynlibs and the like
(the above url has a longer list). Replace -64 functions by their plain
equivalents. (FreeBSD 4+ already has 64-bit off_t)

And hope that they didn't use too exotic functions from unit libc. If so,
report here. In 2.2.2 some routines to access users/passwords were added,
maybe you can take the sources from there (packages/users), and try to get
it running under 2.0.4
