One reason for using f2c instead of fpc at Debian was the 11+ machine architectures we support. fpc is currently only supported on 5 of them: i386, powerpc, sparc, amd64, arm (although the most widespread ones, but anyway). This means that switching to fpc means dropping support for the other machine architectures, see also http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=m-tx Nevertheless, I tried fpc for m-tx with the following result: First, when compiling prepmx, I get: ====================================================================== fpc -g -B -vn -So prepmx Free Pascal Compiler version 2.2.0 [2007/12/29] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2007 by Florian Klaempfl Target OS: Linux for i386 Compiling prepmx.pas Compiling control.pas Compiling utility.pas Compiling strings.pas utility.pas(124,34) Warning: range check error while evaluating constants Compiling globals.pas Compiling preamble.pas Compiling mtxline.pas Compiling notes.pas Compiling files.pas Compiling multfile.pas Compiling status.pas Compiling lyrics.pas Compiling mtx.pas Compiling analyze.pas Compiling uptext.pas Linking prepmx 4342 lines compiled, 0.8 sec 1 warning(s) issued ====================================================================== I don't know if the "Warning" above is relevant for the following error: ====================================================================== ./prepmx meter ==> This is M-Tx 0.60c (Music from TeXt) <16 November 2007> ==>> Input from file meter.mtx Writing to meter.pmx PrePMX done.
