Hello,

I'm looking for a sparc version of pascal...

I've used fpc under linux and windows, and i found it was a great compiler for learning...
I have to learn programming to students (18 years old, grade depend on countries :) ) at university.
They have only access to Solaris-Sprac computers.

After some hours spend reading the documentation and searching the web, i found that one or two person have been interested in a sparc port of Free pascal (10 months ago i think), but i can't find a place explaining clearly if something has been done.

I know that an amiga port currently occurs, but i can't even imagine a pool of amiga stations :)

Can somebody here help me??? where to find something existing, is there somebody trying to do it? which doc to read ?
(I haven't got time to developp it entierly myself, but could help, at least for testing...)

thanks in advance for answers...

Mazen Neifer is working on a sparc port of the 1.1 development compiler. You can contact him on

BTW: The we're still looking for an account on a sparc machine because the sf account doesn't allow to access cvs.freepascal.org anymore. Only the sf cvs can be accessed.

Is there a list of people anywhere showing what processors are being worked upon and by whom?

I'm interested in Arm myself. Not to mention the juicy prospect of one day seeing code generators for things like the GameCube or Playstation 2. (I suspect it'll be Playstation 3 before someone gets around to it though).

GameCube has an IBM PowerPC G4 (/wo Altivec) variant, and the PPC codegenerator is at early but working stage, simple programs already compile for LinuxPPC (with a cross-compiler) AFAIK. But I don't know if someone is working on a MIPS (PS/PS2/SGI-machines) codegenerator.
