Hi,

Some time ago "no fpu" support for the RTL was committed to fpc trunk for powerpc-linux. The RTL should be recompiled using the -Cfnone option. (make OPT=-Cfnone ...) This will cause all floating point usage from the RTL to be dropped.

In particular, this means there is no TDateTime anymore.

Is anyone interested in using this support and/or extending it to other platforms or to FCL etc? Or to implement TDateTime using e.g. int64 or another way?

Micha
