> Is fpc-devel-1.9.2 available for FreeBSD 5.2.1 as it is for 4.9? FPC and the files it generates don't use any userland libraries, so in general it is independant of 4.9<>5.2 until one starts to link in userland libraries. Only the FPC patched startupcode must be updated for 5.2 I think, because an ELF identifier was edit, at least for basic operation to avoid COMPAT_4. A simple script could do this. Running http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/fpcfpc19 should fix that, but I couldn't test this on a short notice. that's why backing up $PREFIX/lib/fpc/1.9.2/units/freebsd/rtl/cprt0.o could be wise. I postponed adding such changes to the port in anticipation of the next beta, 1.9.4, but because x86_64 and Mac OS X support is being merged in, this is delayed. (x86_64 support for linux only atm, but as soon as that is halfwhat stable I'll start a FreeBSD port too, expect to do that rather quickly)
