Re: [fpc-devel] ARM/AARCH64 work

Submitted a patch with the "magic division" and a second patch with a new bench test to showcase the improvements. I hope it is to your satisfaction. https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=38806 Gareth aka. Kit On Mon 26/04/21 16:25 , "J. Gareth Moreton" gar...@moreton-family.com sent: > I

Re: [fpc-devel] ARM/AARCH64 work

Indeed. I'm reusing the code that generates the magic constant for me and any additional flags. I've also fixed the bug that caused the failure in my test. Just doing some final cheeks and improving my bench test. It might be possible to make more code cross platform later on. I'mm not due.

Re: [fpc-devel] ARM/AARCH64 work

Okay, got it to compile. I had to make a cfg file with absolute paths though that I Have to explicitly reference, since the trunk build puts ppca64 into /usr/local/fpc/3.3.1 and I'm not sure where it looks for fpc.cfg normally. Still, despite it being a little bit untidy, I got it to build

Re: [fpc-devel] ARM/AARCH64 work

Aah, bare-bones project failed to compile with the same error, so FPC isn't configured properly. Is there something I need to do with, say, setting up the config file? I'm trying to remember how everything works with Linux. Gareth aka. Kit On Thu 06/08/20 22:38 , "J. Gareth Moreton"

Is there a particular DB test project that I can pick from, or is making a bare-bones project with "uses db;" enough? Gareth aka. Kit On Thu 06/08/20 22:46 , "Sven Barth" pascaldra...@googlemail.com sent: > J. Gareth Moreton schrieb am Do., 6. Aug. 2020, 22:36: > Hi guys, can you confirm

Hi guys, can you confirm that Lazarus compiles on aarch64? When I try under aarch64-linux (with fresh SVN checkouts), it fails with the error message: Fatal: (10022) Can't find unit db used by fcllaz Last time this was mentioned, it was due to an oversight on my part when it comes to case
