Does this process use gcc to do the compile, instead of fpc directly? If it does, I will dig into making it compatible with Parallax's line of propeller boards, since it now supports GCC to generate code for the propeller 1 and 2 boards.  Being able to program these in pascal would be wonderful

Re: [fpc-devel] I've asked this before, but perhaps I wasn't specific enough that time: what do I *personally*, specifically need to do to ensure that a native Windows 64-bit build winds up on the FPC

Personally, I like the idea of having as much optimization as possible, but I'm likely in the minority here.  Since your original submission covered the (probably) most often used case, I'd say at this point, it's probably fine the way it is. On the other hand, depending on timing, (I.E. how l

How does one get a 64-bit version on windows.  When I try to run a 64-bit version on windows, I encounter an error, though I don't remember what that error is, since I've not tried it for a couple weeks.  I didn't even know there was a 64-bit windows version, because as mentioned below, linking
