Hi,

why is there no oldlinux unit in the x86_64 port? I found one in the x386 version of fpc.

I need f. e. the GetDate and GetTime functions which were in the linux unit in fpc 1.0 and have gone to the oldlinux unit now.

oldlinux is from 1.0.x times and full of i386 specific code and definitions that's why it was named oldlinux :)

I need f. e. the GetDate and GetTime functions which were in the linux unit in fpc 1.0 and have gone to the oldlinux unit now.

Replace them by GetDate and GetTime from the sysutils unit.

Oldlinux is x86 only. It is one of the reasons why it was abandoned.

Uses similar functions in sysutils (see docs)

Hallo Marco,

OK, I have begun to rewrite my older i386 (fpc 1.0) pascal sources. I found some other things that have to be changed but then compilation works well.

For us, most work with the x86_64 were a lot of assumptions about the size of a pointer :)
