I'm continuing this from the bug tracker. Also please note that for some reason the mail list server has stopped sending me replies to gmail so I need to look at https://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-pascal/ for replies until this get fixed. Maybe time to get rid of gmail? My private web host email was also failing though. :P

~/Developer/ObjectivePascal/fpc-git/compiler/x86_64/pp test.pp

error: Cannot find system type "__m64". Check if you use the correct run time library.

====

Can anyone explain this error? I have a trunk repository which I update from svn and a dev repository that I update from git (and build using the supplied lazbuild projects). After I updated the trunk compiler I started getting this error when building the dev compiler. Sven says "you need to cleanly rebuild your trunk system with a release compiler." I tried:

make clean all FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64 OPT='-XR/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk'

but this doesn't seem to help. Tried deleting the lazbuild units and trying again also but that doesn't work. Are the wrong RTL files be used or something?

Ryan Joseph

Yes, that is the problem. When Florian had merged the SIMD intriniscs branch those types were enabled, but they weren't ready yet. Thus he disabled them later on again (a day or two later). If you had compiled trunk during that time you can get mixed results, though it's strange that it does...
If clean doesn't help (maybe even use the "svn cleanup" or whatever) you could try to increase the PPULongVersion in compiler/ppu.pas, rebuild, then lower it again and rebuild again.

Sven

Forgot to mention this: I use Gmail as well, so that isn't the problem. However sometimes I have the problem that I get replies for the lists with a day or two delay. Not always, but here and then.

I have my own mail server but, since it's on a residential line, for outgoing mail I use my web hosting (ovh) and messages to this and other fpc lists takes ages to arrive.
Let see if this one proves me wrong ;-)

In fact, it did :-D it just took 16 minutes from ovh to the listserver this time.

Ok, I got this reply finally so maybe something else went wrong. I'm tempting to try another account with some free email service because Gmail never shows my initial post, which is annoying.

The development repo I use is from GitHub and I haven't updated it since a month ago or so but I guess it's still using RTL units from the trunk (the trunk, 3.3.1 is from SVN). I'll try to clean and rebuild the actual trunk and see if that helps.

i've written before, several years back, about gmail won't return you your own posts even when you have the list specifically set to send your posts back to you... yes, it is very very annoying... especially when you pop all your mail from gmail into your own local storage and want those posts for proper threading...

While this one took almost 2 hours. The culprit is postgrey, since ovh has a pool of outgoing mail servers.

I kindly ask the list administrator to add this

https://github.com/schweikert/postgrey/commit/78483623d494a4de9cebb59d452d14141852f263#diff-2d37d6187544104acc11eb29a1c98e97

to the postgrey whitelist.

Maybe you should update your repo. I think end of January was when those changes were made.

At least with Android Gmail as well as Thunderbird with IMAP I have no problem there. Though it might be the sent mail that I see in Thunderbird...

Regards,

yep... getting your post back goes against the "view the conversation" mode thing they have... i've never used IMAP and don't plan to any time soon so getting my posts back from my mailing lists is important to me... especially since i sync/archive everything on one main system... the others are all used only for read access...

anyway... i'll stop my contribution to OT now ;)

tbh this list is off topic so very infrequently.. it's nice to see some "life" out there beyond our compilers :)
