Hi there, Is there some 2.0 fpc release for cygwin? If no, How can I build it starting from the scratch? There is no release. If you want to start a cygwin special the best way is to start with a unix target and adapt it for cygwin. Things like opening files etc. all need to be done through the cygwin1.dll so using the win32 rtl can not be used for that. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Dos anyone have a hint about what I should do next.
Add the writeln helpers (FPC_WRITE_*) to your system unit. See rtl/

[fpc-pascal] Linking Pascal code to C/C++ static libraries under Windows.
Background: I have an old DOS console program that I'm trying to resurrect to run on Windows XP. There isn't much about the structure of the program that I need (or want) to change. But the interfaces to hardware will have to change. It uses the old PORT array to communicate to the Serial port and a similar mechanism to communicate to an add-in board. To work under XP, my understanding is that the old memory mapping stuff will no longer work. So, we got a newer, equivalent A/D board which comes with a library of interface functions. We have figured out how to replace the old interface code with newer calls to wrapper functions written in C. (The original author did a VERY good job of structuring the code to isolate the interfaces!) So the new structure is: Application.pas, App1.pas, App2.pas, ..., AppBdIF.pas Wrapper.c Interface1.lib, Interface2.lib Where AppBdIF.pas calls functions in Wrapper.c which in turn makes calls into Interface1.lib and Interface2.lib. The ideal would be to compile Wrapper.c and the two InterfaceX.lib files into a Wrapper.lib which contains everything. Then, I link Application.pas to all the other .pas files and to Wrapper.lib and I'm done. The Problem: The problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to get FPC to link to static libraries. FPC's linker won't look for the Wrapper.lib. It either wants Wrapper.dll or Wrapper.lib.dll. I can compile wrapper.c to an object module (in Visual C 6.0) and FPC will link to that object file. However, then the interface functions are undefined because I can't get the linker to see the Interface.lib files that contain them. I've tried setting up my wrapper module as a DLL but haven't had much luck there (I suspect the problem is that I'm not correctly creating the DLL in the first place since I can't get another test C program to link to it.) Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Lowell C.

Is there some posibility to make (compiling) fpc without fpc? Is there some makefile or script in fpc (cvs) to avoid to use a fpc 1.0.0 or 2.0.0 to create a fpc new version? Cygwin runs exclusively on Windows machines... FPC has a Windows port. Whilst I can see the point of a port to Cygwin, I seriously can't understand why you can't use the Windows compiler to bootstrap the compiler. Cygwin is just a bunch of DLLs and support binaries at the end of the day, and creating a minimal bootstrap implementation using the Windows compiler, whilst not trivial, is the simplest way of doing it. Am I missing some reason for not using the Win32 compiler? By the way, how would one compile Pascal code without a Pascal compiler? No magic script file will avoid the need for fpc. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
RE: [fpc-pascal] Freepascal 2.0 for cygwin
Okey, but I think that the first stage for make fpc is to compiling some asm or c files using binutils, right? so in cygwin I have binutils, even gcc, how I shoud to do to create first fpc from ASMs or Cs files?

By the way, how would one compile Pascal code without a Pascal compiler? No magic script file will avoid the need for fpc. I asked this question on C2 wiki once.. I guess you could start by hardcoding a binary program from scratch in a text editor with your bare hands. Then you have the meaning of life, birth, the big bang, creation, etc. Did FPC originate from a turbopascal compiler, or a Gnu C compiler? Or bare assembly? or bare binary ? ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
