[fpc-pascal] AIX
Hi, can freepascal compile programs for AIX PowerPc? I see hints of AIX when I search google but nothing that directly says it will work. Thanks Andrew ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I've found these two mailing list threads: http://lists.freepascal.org/lists/fpc-pascal/2010-August/026215.html http://lists.freepascal.org/lists/fpc-pascal/2010-September/026548.html So it seems that there is no AIX support yet. As Jonas wrote in those two lists it basically takes ssh access to such a machine and someone willing to do the port.

[fpc-pascal] AIX Port
Team I would like to use fpc for some heavy batch processing with database connectivity to db2 on an aix platform I'd rather stay binary than go byte code. What would it take to get a port of FPC working and stable for AIX? We run AIX power6 on 4 and 8 processor servers with a mix of sual and quad cores. Thanks! -Rob ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

What would it take to get a port of FPC working and stable for AIX? At the very least: an ssh account on an AIX machine with GCC (to compile test programs), GNU make and the GNU binutils installed, and about 3GB of disk quota. Getting a basic port working shouldn't be too hard, since we support both PowerPC 32/64 and the AIX abi already (Mac OS X also uses it). First, a bunch of C headers will have to be translated to Pascal for the run time library, and then there will probably be some idiosyncrasies regarding the format of the assembler output, importing variables and functions from dynamic libraries, and dynamic library initialisation code, but all in all it should be reasonably straightforward. Getting it stable (as in: useful for commercial work), and especially keeping it stable over time, is another matter though.

Well where I work they won't allow that -- even thos its for their purpose :O(. Let me see what I can dig up for ssh access else where - Original Message From: Jonas Maebe jonas.ma...@elis.ugent.be To: FPC-Pascal users discussions fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org Sent: Thu, August 19, 2010 4:54:35 PM Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] AIX Port On 19 Aug 2010, at 20:37, Refr Bruhl wrote: I would like to use fpc for some heavy batch processing with database connectivity to db2 on an aix platform I'd rather stay binary than go byte code.
