I had exactly the same situation with fpc for fink and solved it exactly as suggested by Daniel Herzog. I would go for Individual bootstrap tar balls for each arch, because this saves a lot of bandwidth. I called the one for macosx/darwin: fpc-1.9.8.darwin.bootstrap.tar.gz. maybe it should be

Even better: One single archive containing all ppc* starting compilers - this way i could also package it quite easily for all arches, and it would easy to script it using ppc${ARCH} everywhere...you see? I don't see it. Because that package will be huge since you need a ppc for every cpu-os

I think this should be a nice solution: bootstrap-arch-os-the version i can bootstrap with this.tar.gz This results in: bootstrap-386-linux-1.9.8.tar.gz containing a 1.0.10 version binary, for example. Please note i used 386 for arch, not x86, or something. So arch is always a valid ppc* ending.

Hi all, In order to get fpc into portage, the gentoo packaging system it would be necessary to make available a bootstrap tar ball (640 KB) with the ppc386 binary and a default fpc.cfg file. My suggestion would be the same dir as the fpc source tar ball, i.e.

Okay. I'll totally rephrase this now: Gentoo builds (almost) everything from source. This is done via ebuilds. There is grap this file: ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/beta/source-1.9.8/fpc-1.9.8.source.tar.gz And compile and install it. Don't expect this directory to exists very long.

Thanks. I'll, for now, work around it using the binary.tar. In practise, the only problem is the bigger download, and getting the ppc386 out of it... This was clear from the beginning :) But thank you for taking the trouble yo elaborate. We're discussing on the core list how we can

Hi guys. It would be nice if you could add a starting compiler to your source packages, this eases up packaging with gentoo alot. this is especially important for the 1.9.x series, which is changed. (the stable release looks kinda freezed until 2.0.0 is released) Sources shouldn't contain
