Hello,

Delphi's compiler/linker is probably malfunctioning for uint64 types.

It would be nice if free pascal compiler/linker/debugger can be used as a replacement.

So that I can still use the Delphi IDE.

To do that probably requires replacing some DLL.

Maybe like:

DCC.DLL or something like that.

Hack it, reverse engineer it.

Then use it as a gateway to FPC :):):)

Bye,
Skybuck ;)

look at the crossfpc project. It does exactly that. Simon Kissel is the head of that project.

I think he is looking for problems, not solutions.

The move from the old D7 and prior IDE to the BDS/Galileo one broke the whole CrossXXX movement last time I looked.
