Hi!
I'm now trying to bootstrap fpc for ppc64el which unfortunately fails.
I'm using this command line:
BINUTILSPREFIX=powerpc64le-linux-gnu- make crossall crossinstall CPU_TARGET=powerpc64 CROSSOPT="-CaELFV2 -dFPC_LITTLE_ENDIAN" OS_TARGET=linux FPC=/usr/lib/fpc/3.0.0/ppcx64 INSTALL_PREFIX=/root/fpc-ppc64el/
/root/trunk/compiler/ppcrossppc64 -Ur -Ppowerpc64 -XPpowerpc64le-linux-gnu- -Xr -XX -CX -Ur -Xs -O2 -n -Fi../inc -Fi../powerpc64 -Fi../unix -Fipowerpc64 -FE. -FU/root/trunk/rtl/units/powerpc64-linux -dpowerpc64 -dRELEASE -CaELFV2 -dFPC_LITTLE_ENDIAN ../objpas/character.pas unicodedata_be.inc(5,106) Error: Illegal order of record elements unicodedata_be.inc(5,109) Fatal: Syntax error, "identifier" expected but ";" found Fatal: Compilation aborted
Building without -dFPC_LITTLE_ENDIAN produces a binary which doesn't work on an actual ppc64el machine:
./ppcppc64
-bash: ./ppcppc64: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Looks like the generated executable is big-endian:
file ./ppcppc64
./ppcppc64: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
