Thanks for the warning. I'm on 2.20.1, looks like the version number
window is quite tight.
So most of the problems described in
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Native_MIPS_Systems
should not be present anymore...
I'll update that presently. What I want to try doing first is running
the compiler natively (hosted by Qemu), later I might try putting it on
real hardware but I anticipate the endianness issue will take some work.
Copied across onto a Debian mipsel hosted by Qemu, I've just completed a
make all running natively including default packages etc. The only
oddity that I noticed was that I had to specify PP when running the
make, I don't know whether that is still an issue now that things have
cycled fully (and I'm loath to repeat the exercise on account of
time/heat/noise issues- I'm using a big server as host and MIPS was
still running more slowly than reasonable).
So granted that there are known problems as shown up by the test
failures, but things are looking pretty good. Congratulations and thanks
to all concerned :-)
