Hi
next problem with use uclibc
cprt0.o need _libc_start_main
but inn uclibc
_uClibc_main is used

how to change it
prepare new cprt0.as ?

I think the compiler is supposed to use ucprt0.as when you compile against uclibc. Search for uclibc in compiler/systems/t_linux.pas to see how the compiler decides which libc variant you are using.

thx
to fpc.cfg I;ve added
-XR/home/darek/fpcarm/toolchain-arm-uclibc/

it works,
but now another problem

linker say that system.pp need function _haltproc_eabi which is absent in ucprt.0

That's probably because nobody has maintained the uclibc support since adding EABI support. The ARM/Linux support is very ad hoc: it was added, but afaik there is no real maintainer for it (Florian and I sometimes fix some things, but that's it). uclibc is even less tested or used. We really need someone who is will to maintain that platform, because several people appear to be interested in using it, but few if any in developing and maintaining the necessary compiler or RTL support.

I still miss a reasonable EABI development system.

I have an idea so much time but I feared to make a suggestion . Now , I want to explain it :

In both Free Pascal and Lazarus web sites , there may be pages about projects which may be described by the Free Pascal and/or Lazarus developers . In those projects a problem and requirements of solution of that problem may be documented .

For example ,

Problem : Transporting Free Pascal to a new X platform . Requirements : A list of computing server X(1) with specialties , a list client computer X(2) with specialties ,
a list of books for theoretical needs ,
amount M of cash for ... expenses ,
etc. .

People having facilities would support such projects as much as possible by donating money , hardware , books , etc. .

I think such an approach would help to solve problems in much more shorter time .

As an example , please visit Wikipedia in the following main page :

Last year there was a campaign around 5 million US dollars , when that amount had been obtained , they discontinued the campaign .

This year , they are trying to raise 7.5 million US dollars :

Sometimes , an idea is expressed to emphasize unimportance of an Open Source Projects . In universities and other schools Pascal is in their curricula . Free Pascal and Lazarus are very important tools for such courses . Even only this usage in its sole existence shows importance of Free Pascal and Lazarus .

Thank you very much .

sheevaplug (or open-rd) is probably going to give you best performance (at 1.2GHz). That's probably the most reasonable for the money. I'm willing to contribute some £.

I've simple copy haltproc_eabi form cprt0.o
and at last everything compiling

now i start test on host

should I prepare patch do ucprt0.o
when all goes OK

EABI not, but uClibc can be tested on i386,
only lack ucprt0.o in linux/i386

then testing will be easier
If its needed, I can do it.
