I screwed up the quoting here, sorry. Jeff didn't write all below, I think some of it was Mark.

I've been thinking it would be nice to have a SPARC port of Slackware but it hasn't been maintained. How many sockets do you have on your E4500? > I don't think the OP meant he was running Slackware on Sun hardware, > although maybe he (or she, I suppose) was.

At the beginning I just wanted FPC for my Solaris boxes. Since the current stable version wasn't available for Solaris or at least so I thought until Ludo pointed me to the Intel versions, I decided to try it on Linux. Then I found fp doesn't work on my Linux setup because of not having a very recent glibc. But yes, I'm hoping to get FPC working on Solaris SPARC now that I have the copy for Solaris Intel. Thanks to all. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
