Although ultimately my goal is to try to cross compile to amd64 from i386 (FreeBSD) I figure I would start easy with a "standard compile".

The process completed.
When I run compiler/utils/fpc
It reads:

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.0.4 [2007/05/25] for i386

I downloaded the 2.3 snapshot (ot at least that is what I thought).

Try running compiler/ppc386. fpc simply executes the first ppc<target_arch> it finds in the path afaik.

Thanks. That was it.

Is there a list of what is new on these snapshots?

What, if anything, can one do to help test these snapshots? I guess as I write some programs I could build them with the snapshot and report back in case of problems. Right now I am still just reading, testing libraries and writing what amount to trivial/exercise programs.
