Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->acm Over to maintainer (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool) Hi Dmitry :) A new version of freepascal will be released soon, i'll begin to work on bsd.fpc.mk file, i hope it is finish before of fpc-2.2.2 release. the amd64 version of freepascal on FreeBSD doesn't work yet. I'm thinking use fpcmake binary that i'm using to build fpc compiler from source code. It could be used for all fpc ports that needs it. I'll have news soon :) Greetings ACM Finally, i have done the work with bsd.fpc.mk file, i uploaded a tar.bz2 file at http://people.freebsd.org/~acm/ports/freepascal/ It contains all fpc stuff including bsd.fpc.mk file and a bsd.port.mk patch file, i'll assign this PR to portmgr because now it's a portmgr territory ;) Greetings ACM. Responsible Changed From-To: acm->portmgr I need approval of portmgr for commit my new stuff Responsible Changed From-To: portmgr->acm portmgr is okay with the change State Changed From-To: open->closed - New freepascal stuff was added, thanks :) |
I've just submitted PR for new port games/hedgewars (ports/124234), it's opensource worms clone. It uses fpc, and I've ran into some (non-critical) issues with it, so I think it could be improved is some ways. First of all, there's no clear way to depend on fpc modules. I've used BUILD_DEPENDS=${LOCALBASE}/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/i386-freebsd/opengl/Package.fpc:${PORTSDIR}/x11/fpc-x11 but this is badly broken because fpc version and arch are hardcoded here. Next, many fpc modules depend on lang/fpc-utils, whict in turn depends on MANY things (almost all database client ports for instance). But actually in most cases only fpcmake is really needed. I can confirm that in case of games/hedgewars, x11/fpc-x11, graphics/fpc-opengl: after hacking fpc-utils to only install fpcmake, everything went without any problems. So I think fpcmake should really be moved into the separate port. Last, but not least: fpc seem to support amd64, but the port doesn't. Lately I've seen some new software written in fpc, and I think both users and port maintainers could benefit from improving fpc support in FreeBSD port system. So we definitely need to move stuff from lang/fpc/Makefile.units to bsd.fpc.mk to handle dependencies and other stuff gracefully and improve fpc-utils port to not bring in useless depends. I'm eager to help with this stuff when I have some more free time by the end of the month.
