Though arm/linux didn't make it in 1.9.6, I built a new cross snapshot, you can get it here:
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/beta/arm-linux/arm-linux-fpc.i386-linux.tar.gz

More info how to use it can be found here:

cross ?! it only contains arm executables :-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.9.7]# file ppcarm
ppcarm: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (ARM), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, statically linked, strippednly contains arm executables (not cross) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I created a cross ppcarm from CVS and it works :-) thanks. Could you still correct the snapshot so that I can link to it in the wiki.

Great timing by the way, I just finished updating
my Qt/Embedded binding for the
"Error: Can't declare procedure as EXTERNAL" problem.

I will post it on the web asap and update the wiki

Btw, the trigonometric functions still fail on arm.

Did you manage to install 3.5.1 (or 3.5.2) ?

kind regards,

Den Jean

Will fix it asap :)

Fixed.

3.5.2

Uploaded a new one :)

Thx a lot again.

I uploaded the new version of the binding with
the fix for the "Error: Can't declare procedure as EXTERNAL"

With fpc 1.9.3 (intel) I had overloading problems, so in the binding I had to rename some functions to make them unique. I removed this and everything works fine now.

There were also some reference counting problems, for that reason there were some AddRef instructions. With 1.9.6 I could remove them.

There are still some problems with:
* trigonometric functrions:
They do not crash anymore (something was changed). But the results are wrong. In Intel its ok
* TPointArray; passing a TPointArray to Polygon crashes in arm
* Interfaces bug: writeln(App.Desktop.Width) crashes in intel and arm!

I should/shall make some small programs to demonstrate this.

To everyone with a Zaurus, If you try this demo, please send some feedback to improve the instructions in README.TXT. I will put everything on the FPC wiki aswell.

It is only arctan2 who has a problem.
