Hi,
How well does FPC and Lazarus support 64bit OSes? I'm upgrading my PC
at work (long overdue) and am thinking of installing 64bit Ubuntu on
the new system to accommodate >4GB memory. As far as I know FPC works
perfectly on 64bit systems, but does Lazarus?
I've been working with Lazarus (of the trunk) for about 10 months now on
my Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit edition with no problems so far.
I would still require to build 32bit versions of our software, because
most of our client are still on 32bit systems. I gather this should
not be an issue either, even though I use a 64bit OS and 64bit FPC?
You can run 32bit applications on a 64bit OS, right?
I tried to follow the FPC cross-compile guide (found here:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling) but failed to get 64 to 32
bit cross-compile working. But i think that's more down to my lack of
experience with fpc and crosscompilation.
Kind regards,
Torsten Bonde Christiansen.
