I would like to compile fpc on my OpenBSD4.4/i386 system. The buildfaq
(http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf) requires to have a usable fpc
binary in order to compile fpc source.
OpenBSD has emulation for binaries from linux and FreeBSD so i got the
corresponding binaries from Ubuntu/i386 and FreeBSD/i386. Emulation
didn't work. That means that i was not able to use the freepascal
compiler on my system with either of those binaries.
Is there a way i can compile fpc on OpenBSD4.4/i386?
The OpenBSD code in the rtlis unmaintained, perhaps Marco can give an idea
about the state of that code. Since many platform specific code is shared
with FreeBSD & Darwin, it can be brought back to life with relative ease.
If a bootstrap compiler is missing it may be possible to compile an
OpenBSD execitable on another system. If all else fails, the assembler
files can be generated on a Linux system, transfered to OpenBSD and
assembled/linked there. But this has almost never been necessary.
