On 05/09/2011, Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho I think that one thing passed here unnoticed Michael, Hans-Peter is correct in pointing out that the fpdoc.css is missing and this Wasn't there a built-in template inside fpdoc, that on generating the HTML output, it generated the fpdoc.css. I vaguely remember something like this - or maybe it was simply a feature request. should I add? The one which Lazarus uses? Or do you have a more special version for fpc? The one Lazaru uses is broken, so don't use that one. It causes double-spacing in the HTML output. Use the one I posted a URL link to, or use the one use by the freepascal.org website. http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/index.html make rtl.chk make fcl.chk make html FPCSRCDIR=../fpctrunk/ Except for the fact that I have no latex installed, so the html generation fails. You are confused, or didn't read the README.DOCS file very well. The first two commands don't require LaTeX, because they use fpdoc XML files and the FPC source code as the documentation source. You would probably have to pass in the FPCSRCDIR parameter too though. The last command 'make html', generates the full documentation. That means RTL, FCL, Language Reference, User Guide, Programmer Guide etc... The last three are *.tex file, hence they need LaTeX or the LaTex-to-HTML tool to work. What is the output of make rtl.chk? I could find nothing... There should have been a 'rtl' directory created in the current directory, with the HTML class documentation for the RTL. -- Regards, - Graeme - ___ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

[fpc-devel] freepascal support for debian armhf
First a bit of background, on arm ebi gcc has three options for -mfloat-abi soft: do all floating point in software, ignore the fpu type selection softfp: use the selected fpu type but use the same calling conventions as soft (that is parameters are passed using integer registers). This gives binary compatibility with soft float code but in the case of vfp it comes at a substantial performance cost as all parameters must be moved between fpu and integer registers which causes pipeline stalls hard: use the selected fpu type and use fpu type specific calling conventions. Debian is in the process of introducing a new port called armhf which uses -mfloat-abi=hard with VFP (which seems to be become the dominant FPU now). Afaict from quick tests freepascal does support vfp but based on my tests always uses the soft calling convention. So it won't link correctly with C code that uses floating point parameters on debian armhf. 1: can someone who knows the fpc arm code confirm the above statement? 2: does anyone have any idea what it would take to add support for the eabi vfp calling convention and for building fpc binaries that use it by default (just as armel FPC binaries use eabi by default) 3: does anyone have any plans to actually do so (I might attempt it but i'm not a compiler developer nor am I an arm assembly programmer, just someone who uses both freepascal and debian on an arm system that could benefit from armhf) ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
