In this BOF, I'd like to bring together the people that use fpc and/or lazarus. Both the direct users as well as package maintainer that build their packages using Free Pascal. This BOF has at least the following objectives: meet people interested in fpc and the packages build with it. discuss general/global issues and improvement strategies (such as the static library situation). discuss bootstrapping of fpc on new architectures (mips/mipsel/ppc64el) Patch now available since Tuesday (thanks Peter & Steve) * bug 695547 fpc does not set EABI tags to distinguish armel and armhf object files * 826300 fp-compiler not installable on powerpc since glibc 2.23 static vs dynamic * 472304 -> hopefully pieces are in place now Archs missing * mips / mipsel * ppc64el * all but one non-release archs
