Some status update in Free Pascal MorphOS port for ones might be interrested:

hello world!



This is today's progress, it was a few minutes ago, when a hello world! first worked, without additional fingering into the generated asm sources. So, as you can see, the compiler can produce working MorphOS PowerPC executables. (Cross-compiled from LinuxPPC.) Support for MorphOS/ABox style calls also added to the compiler a few days ago, so there is no need for additional hand-written assembly code to call library functions like it was necessary with the old Amiga/68k compiler. Now i'm implementing more functions of the System unit. It's not far away, when the compiler itself can be compiled to run on MorphOS.

Now back to ...
