Road to 2.0
From Lazarus wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThis document describes the planned road to FPC 2.0.0 which will be the next stable version of FPC.
The final 2.0 will probably support the following targets:
- i386/Linux
- i386/Win32
- i386/FreeBSD
- i386/OS/2
- i386/EMX
- i386/go32v2 (only non NT-based systems)
- powerpc/Darwin (Mac OS X)
- powerpc/MacOS (classic)
- powerpc/Linux
- powerpc/MorphOS (?) depends on Charly
- x86-64/Linux
- x86-64/FreeBSD
- x86-64/Win64 (?) depends if GNU Tools will be available soon
- arm/Linux
- sparc/Linux
Depending on OS requirements, 2.0.0 is supposed to compile and run the following big packages to prove its maturity:
- Lazarus: all targets having GTK
- Decal: all targets
- Dorb: Win32
- DelphiQuake2: Win32
- Jedi/JCL linux
- TurboPower packages
- FreeCLX
- ICS/win32 (twsocket)
1.9.4 has been released supporting the following targets:
- i386/Linux
- i386/Win32
- i386/FreeBSD
- i386/OS/2
- powerpc/Darwin
- powerpc/Linux
