An error message would be nice.

If the error is that "bx r14" is not supported, then I've fixed this now in 
revision 25393.

What we get is a bizarre error which gives little information as to why it barfs
Compilation works perfectly if using snapshots from may. That is what I have on 
my funtoo odroid right now.

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.7.1 [2013/05/18] for arm
Copyright (c) 1993-2013 by Florian Klaempfl and others

Only use the last stable release (currently 2.6.2) or a compiler of the exact 
same SVN revision to compile a trunk (or fixes) compiler. Nothing else is 
supported and might break unexpectedly.

Sven


Version 2.6.2 doesn't have all the latest for lazarus and has some issues with 
hard float on ARM. I have a working 2.6.2 on my ubuntu version on the odroid 
U2. The stuff that doesn't work on Lazarus with that version works perfectly on 
my funtoo on the
odroid U2 where I use fpc 2.7.1 from way back in may.

You must not have read what I wrote or have no clue whatsoever about the 
subject. Read it again and if you do not have any idea about the problem, just 
go away and let people who know comment.

I have no interest whatsoever in using binaries that I do not compile myself. 
For one thing, except for a version on Debian, a good version doesn't exist or 
is soft float.

Development version of fpc worked perfectly for what I did with it back in may 
but has been broken since. I would prefer using the lastest SVN stuff but it is 
has been useless since may.

Every other developer of FPC will tell you the same: The only supported version for compiling a development (2.7.1) or fixes (2.6.3) version is either the last release (2.6.2) or a development/fixes version of the same revision and nothing else.

2.7.1 definitely is a development version and it sometimes happens that things will break in a way that a older revision is no longer able to build a newer one. We do not check for compatibility with older revisions and the only way we guarantee that works is a compilation with 2.6.2.

The softfloat 2.6.2 compiler should be able to compile a hard float one and as far as I've understood the softfloat discussion it should also work on hardfloat systems. Otherwise you could compile a hardfloat compiler on a Debian system (using a 2.6.2 as starting compiler), move that to your odroid U2 and build the compiler (of the same revision!) with that (the compiler does not use libc or any other library so you can freely move it between Linux systems).

Sven
