will post to the board as soon as I get my other data from my tower off of it.spilled coffee on the keyboard again.

You shouldn't be using CRT unit anyway.Use my video unit. Its more optimized and bypasses a check for the timer bug entirely.You can use fpc_nanosleep as I have in my latest sources of the timer unit, but lately, I can't even get that to compile.

Was working on a workaround when Linux decided not to drive my usb headset anymore due to a linux glitch.Well, linux had to go, so if anyone knows how to cross darwin -OSX [ppc or intel, intel preferred] to ubuntu, please let me know, I was building on ubuntu [8+ works fine.8 is preferred].I don't see anything on the topic, but I think its close to what is already up on the french page[in english] on the subject.

I don't have an install to pull the shared libs from anymore.Im completely mac at the moment.

My new RTL units for FPOS are close to compiling, I had to fork back to the old setup to build properly.More notes on assembla.

The video unit works, the RTC,Timer units has this issue and is in build freeze until I can get some cross tools made.The emulated timer routine in the video unit works, but has serious timing issues.[not in sync, I think fpc_nanosleep is.]

FOUND IT. try this.Something about non-x86 requiring extended math units not available on platforms such as PPC, will look into this.

TRY THIS:

[need the fink package, well worth it, but don't expect KDE to just work on you.]

sudo fink install fpc-i386-linux
[maybe -ppc linux as well??]

and
/sw/fpc/ -Tlinux [mainUnit.pas] to compile.
[Or in my case, my main makefile]

Gonna try on intel first, so to see if I break anything or need some units ported over first.Suprised that there is nothing on the forums on this yet.

Will get to the intel port as soon as I get my hands on my other keyboard.[hopefully next week or so.]

NOTE: this will not make the PPC target BOOT a kernel.You need at least ofwboot.b [firmware workaround] from bsd dowload ftp page and a bootable kernel [ramdisk image highly recommended].You need grub for FPOS to boot normally, so you would need to find out what bootloader ubuntu uses in order to get a PPC port working.THEN, maybe it might boot on PPC, but that is a moot point anyway these days.We aim for intel.

I'm not holding my breath for a PPC port.
