FPC And NetBSD?!

How can I make FPC running on NetBSD? There is no package available on the website.

Anyway, the NetBSD port was mainly done because of the foreign platform support. At the moment it is very rough(little used, not much testing), though serious work can be done with it. Therefore there is no real support yet. There are no users to generate bugreports (you are the second to ask at all), I mainly use FreeBSD.

I'm currently merging all three *BSD ports (and maybe Darwin too if doable) for the next major version due middle of next year, but that might be backported to 1.0.x. This will cause FreeBSD which I use fixes to automatically propagate to the other *BSDs, and increase the quality of the other BSD ports considerably.

I only have the packages that another NetBSD user sent me. (but he is very experienced). I haven't tested them yet, since my NetBSD machine is down due to hardware trouble.

It compiles itself and the IDE, which are rather large programs. (think 2 *

100000), so that is pretty largish.

Maybe even debugging with GDB 5.x works, Lazarus (and with that several X bindings) also work.

Why not add the links on freepascal.org so it's possible to download the test versions?

Because my own NetBSD machine is down, and I didn't test them myself yet, and because I considered the current version to be a dead end. (due to the new RTL)

But there is no particular reason why I wouldn't want them on the site, and there seems to be some interest now.

I'll see what I can do, maybe I can also fix OpenBSD before 1.0.8
