Hello,

I have a friend that might be interrested on porting Free Pascal 2.1.x to arm-palmos.

What would be the difficulties or necessary steps involved on this? Is it only a matter of working on the rtl/palmos directory?

I understand that 1.0.10 used to work for 69k-palmos, is that right? But I couldn't find the source code for 1.0.10. Could that code be converted for the 2.1.x series?

Also, is there someone already working on this?

thanks,

Yes. You need to implement system dependend parts of the system unit, sysutils, video, mouse, keyboard etc.

I don't know if ever a working version was produced for 1.0. No release was ever done. The source code can be found here:

ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/olddist/1.0.10/source-1.0.10

While the 1.0.10 source might give you some ideas you should expect the code needs to be written from near scratch.

Also, is there someone already working on this?

Not to my knowledge.
