FreePascal 64bits Port for FreeBSD 8.x


Since a couple of days, the users of FreeBSD 8.x can enjoy developing with FPC 2.4.0 64bits!.

Just update the ports tree and compile FPC.

portsnap fetch update
cd /usr/ports/lang/fpc
make install clean


If you want to compile the bleeding edge 2.5.1, you can start with this compiler and follow the same instructions as my last post.

Thats all.

hello Leonardo, i would like to know if freepascal is a good tool (in your experience) to make programs for iphone / imac and linux and something very important ¿what ide do you use to make this programs ?
After the last news from embarcardero i am seeking new options to develop in delphi and i was thinking in freepascal or delphi prism.

Thanks.

Well, I use it mainly to develop Web applications and services (daemons) that must work on Linux and FreeBsd. For Win32 Desktop apps, I still use Delphi.

Regarding your iPhone/MacOSX question, I don't have those, so, I don't know if it fits well in those environments.

My main "IDE" is VIM, and I also use Lazarus, which in some aspects is better than Delphi, and has improved a lot in the recent months.
