The short story so far:
Hello,
This project is about "porting" the Free Pascal Compiler to Delphi XE.
More information can be found on this little blog:
http://www.skybuck.org/FreePascalCompilerDelphiXEPortProject/
A subversion server has been setup here:
https://free-pascal-compiler-delphi-port.googlecode.com/svn/
The latest release/distribution is here:
http://www.skybuck.org/FreePascalCompilerDelphiXEPortProject/fpcbuild-2.4.2-delphi-xe-port-version-004-make-fixes.rar
The source code compiles, however little sections of code have been disabled
as follows:
// *** Skybuck: Fix Needed ***
These sections are slight free pascal language incompatibilities with Delphi
and need to be fixed...
There are about 700 of them. (Many duplicates here and there though).
Will you help fixing these issue's ?
If so you can either help by using subversion or simply working via e-mail
and selecting a file to fix.
Me e-mail is: skybuck2...@hotmail.com
After the compiler is fixed it can be extended to support new
hardware/platforms and virtual machines, perhaps even converters... like
opencl/cuda/ptx/php/java/.net/c/c++... pretty much anything can become
possible afterwards. It's good to have an open-source delphi alternative, if
you agree with that then help out and together we rock the cradle ! ;) =D
Bye,
Skybuck.
