Just a note to confirm that FPC 2.6.0 builds and installs from source on SPARC Solaris 10 and 8. I had to revert from 2.5.1 to 2.4.4 on one machine before it would compile, the other was still on 2.4.2.

I am definitely not complaining, but purely for information I note that the fp IDE isn't built (was OK with 2.4), and that all make operations require NOGDB=1 (etc.) even though this is only referenced by the fp build makefile. I've not investigated whether there are any code generation bugfixes that haven't got into 2.6, if anybody wants me to look in more detail please say.

I might be having problems getting Lazarus back up, but I'll discuss this elsewhere if necessary.

For the record, I've not got an x86-64 Solaris system here, and I've never been anywhere near Solaris on zSeries despite mentioning it recently :-)

NOGDB might have been a phantom, possibly caused by the version of compiler I was using to do the build.

Any problems I was having were apparently caused by a missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH, without which Lazarus and/or the LCL can't find libcairo.so.2 etc.

I note that Solaris on SPARC doesn't require the -Xn option to force use of Solaris's native linker, I've updated the Wiki accordingly.
