Hi,
Today I did an update via svn. When I compiled for arm (in the hope that the bug I encountered a while ago would have disappeared) I found a bug in rtl/linux/arm/sysnr.inc :
Const

  syscall_nr_base = syscall_nr_base;

I modified this to :
Const

  syscall_nr_base = $900000;

which is similar to fpc 2.0.2. When I compiled this I got my ususal error : /home/koenraad/fpc-devel/fpc/compiler/ppcrossarm -Ur -XParm-linux- -Xc -Xr -Ur -Xs -n -Fi../inc -Fi../arm -Fi../unix -Fiarm -FE. -FU/home/koenraad/fpc-devel/fpc/rtl/units/arm-linux -darm -dRELEASE -Us -Sg system.pp

Do you have compiler option -e/usr/local/arm-linux/bin or similar? With fixes_2_0 rev. 2644 and attached MSEide project (adjust 'Project'-'Options'-'Macros'-'MSEDIR' and 'FPCDIR') I can compile until next compiler AV:

I'm getting a similar result, although I can't use your prj-file. I just modified ${COMPILER} to ppcrossarm (was ppc386) and ${TARGET} to arm-linux (was i386-linux} if "Settings/Configure MSEide". In "Project/Options" I added some "Make options" : -Xr -Xd. I didn't know what Macros can be used for, so I didn't 'm going to try a debug-compile for the compiler and look with gdb when I have time.

I seem to have forgotten to add this to my previous mail : Last time I checked SVN this seems solved (is it ? I modified my source-file which didn't get updated, so I renamed my source-file and then a new file appeared which contained the fix), but in 2.0.3 (of feb.
24) it is not.
With 2.0.3 that error I mentioned does not appear, so I'm trying with that. Regards,
Koenraad Lelong.
P.S. Is it possible that libc for arm-linux has been removed from the makefiles of 2.0.3 ? First time I tried to compile MSEgui for arm-linux I got an error about this, so I added it again in the makefile in packages/base. I know I'm not supposed to do that but I don't know where I should modify the Makefile.fpc.

Unit libc is linux/x86 only afaik, since it is a Kylix unit, which x86 only. It might get ported to linux/amd64, but that is about it.

Use baseunix et all, which is the portable way to do Unix interfacing.

Could this patch be applied on the 2.0.3 tree (I made it from the fpcbuild-archive) ? If it's not right, could you please post instructions how to do it right ?
Thanks,
Koenraad Lelong.
