Amiga units for fpc.
There should not be any problems to use
this units in Amiga or in linux.
For the ms-dos cross-compiler you have to
do some changes.
First you have to rename the units to 8.3
e.g intuition.pas to intuitio.pas
No need to change in the units the compiler
will find the units anyway.
There are a few you will have problems with,
expansion.pas and expansionbase.pas. What
you can do is to rename them to expan.pas
and expanbas.pas. If a unit uses the old
name the compiler will complain so just
fix that unit when the problems pops up.
The same problem with configregs.pas and
configvars.pas, perhaps do cfgvars.pas and
cfgregs.pas
If you find any bugs or errors in the units
please inform me. Address bellow.
If you want do translate other libraries to
fpc use Fd2Pragma, it's on Aminet. Read the
docs for Fd2Pragma on how to make units
for fpc. Fd2Pragma translates almost everything
correct for fpc. There is one thing you have to
do to the new unit, make a search/replace for
Cardinal/ULONG. Fpc for Amiga don't handle
Cardinals in this version (later), so we have
to use ULONG instead. ULONG is typedefed as
Longint (in Exec) in a new version of fpc
we just have to typedef ULONG as Cardinal.
What's left is for you to translate structs
and defines.:)
There are also two rexx scripts that can be
handy, getrecord.rexx and make.rexx. You can
use getrecord.rexx to check that you have
translated the structs correct. Read more
in the scripts headers.
Other than that just have fun!
