Does anyone have experience with fpc and linux on handhelds? May the 6th, I'll show fpc at a Delphi workshop, and I'll concentrate on thinks Delphi doesn't do.
I can borrow an Ipaq with linux and opie, and I like to show some fpc application on it.

Bye Uberto

FPC works experimentally on Zaurus, (OpenZaurus).

You could try some of the crosscompiling stuff:

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/beta/arm-linux/

There must be a Zaurus hosted cmdline compiler somewhere also, but I couldn't quickly find it.

More information can be found in the fpc wiki.

I've a Zaurus running linux. If you think there is something which should be shown on the ipaq (a lcl app :)?) I can prepare it.

Do you mean here:
http://www.freepascal.org/wiki/index.php/Setup_Cross_Compile_For_ARM Is it possible to compile for Arm from x86 (win or linux)? Something like:
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/kb/index.php/Cross_compiling_for_Win32_under_Linux

I'm searching for an excuse to buy me a Zaurus... you just gave me one! ;) Anyway I think that for now, a console app will be fine, considering what Delphi could do... ;)

Did you check the link I gave you above :)? The 1.9.8 arm release is a cross compiler.

:((
I've read hastly and I understood that was for the arm-linux itself!

I'll try asap.

Hi,

you might also look at:

http://users.pandora.be/Jan.Van.hijfte/qtforfpc/qtedemo.html

This webpage is about a Qt/Embedded binding for FreePascal (FPC) The source code of a small demo program is provided as well

You can view an animated screenshot of the program in action on a Zaurus:

http://users.pandora.be/Jan.Van.hijfte/qtforfpc/screenshots.html

The FPC (FreePascal) binding for Qt and Qt/Embedded and the source of the demo are also available on Sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtforfpc/

The webpage contains all the necessary links
needed for arm cross development with FreePascal.

And last but not least, there is a page dedicated to the setup of a FreePascal cross compilation setup (including Qt/Embedded and qvfb)

kind regards,

Den Jean

wow! I didn't think qt binding , I think I desperately need a Zaurus now! ;))
