I'd have to check, and I'd rather not get too embroiled in that today.
Working from memory, something like Linux on SPARC, 0.9.26, 2.2.4 and
problems with libc when when making with bigide.
I'm not sure if bigide was properly tested on sparc.
:-)
I'd be very happy to run a Lazarus make with bigide on the various Linux
systems (x86, SPARC, PPC and ARM) I've got here and report back, but I
suspect that that could uncover subsidiary issues that wouldn't be
entirely welcome :-/ It would also be fairly slow, since some of these
aren't exactly top specification.
As the lazarus developers have only spare access to sparc, arm and
powerpc I beg you tell what runs and what not, so we can setup the right
bigide package set for those platforms.
There's a Linux/SPARC system here which Vincent has used in the past.
I'm hoping at some point to have a Solaris system running as well, but
it would probably not be generally available due to power, noise and
heat issues.
Granted that SPARC is very much a minority platform these days, and
granted that the architecture's prospects are highly uncertain, but I
think that its endianness and alignment demands make is a useful target
to test against.
I'll start off a new thread in a few days summarising what does and what
doesn't work. Would you prefer I tested 0.9.28.3 or 0.9.29? Is 2.4.0 OK?
Which is why, if there's any doubt at all, I'd far prefer to simply
avoid design-time initialisation of suspect components.
The thing that I need fairly urgently is the PostgreSQL TPQConnection, I
think that for safety I'll rough something out on x86 Linux then do the
real thing portably avoiding that as a design-time component.
