A couple of days ago it did. But this is today. I will put in a bug report if I checked my build stup, can reproduce it and if so isn't fixed within two days or so. Most of the time it will. You probably definitely must use trunk to get proper results for arm. Lot's of changes/improvements. ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

On gentoo you compile everything. The scripts that come with gentoo ARM are setup for hard floats only. I will check what you are saying tonight anyway. I will first write some pascal code to test.

Michel It was on debian that I tested Lazarus. On my rasphberry Pi I tried both. I went to debian when I realized that it was no possible to get firefox compiled on gentoo on the rasphberry Pi. Funny thing, I had no problem compiling it on Mele A2000G same version 17.0. I did manage to compile Mate Desktop on the raphberry Pi. It is not very fast though, much better on Mele A2000G. I will try to compile the way you explained later this week and will post my results. -- For Linux Software visit http://home.comcast.net/~mcatudal ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
[fpc-devel] Lazarus issues on ARM Linux
I am also having some issues with Lazarus, I am not sure if it is the right forum to talk about it. I had a previous version working fine on Rasphberry Pi. For some reason I can't get it to work on Mele A2000G. I have compiled it on gentoo on the Mele, using distcc and locally, same results. I didn't get any error during compile so I was expecting it to work. fpc seems to work, I haven't written any code with it yet, I was expecting to use lazarus to do that. My system on Mele A2000G is gentoo with mate desktop. I have everything compiled with hard float as I did on the Raphsberry Pi. This is a much faster ARM processor (1Ghz with 1G of RAM). Gentoo is on a 32G SD Card. Speed throttles down to 408 Mhz when idle, could that be the problem? If that is I might need to put a heatsink and recompile the uboot and/or kernel to stop the change in speed. qt is 4.10.1 I have 4.9 on rasphberry pi michel@catudal ~ $ lazarus bash: /usr/bin/lazarus: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type michel@catudal ~ $ ls -la /usr/bin/laz lazarus lazbuild michel@catudal ~ $ ls -la /usr/bin/lazarus lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 4 avr 07:39 /usr/bin/lazarus - ../share/lazarus/startlazarus michel@catudal ~ $ ls -la /usr/share/lazarus/startlazarus -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18763274 4 avr 07:30 /usr/share/lazarus/startlazarus michel@catudal ~ $ michel@catudal ~ $ fpc Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.0 [2013/04/03] for arm Lazarus is 1.0.4, i think that I have a slightly earlier version on Rasphberry Pi.
