Welcome to the NEW Friends-Of-FPC (FoFPC) Website!
Overview
Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is an open source compiler for 32bit and 64bit pascal and object. It is available for different processors: Intel x86, Amd64/x86_64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, Sparc, ARM. The following operating systems are supported: Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X/Darwin, DOS, Win32, Win64, WinCE, OS/2, Netware (libc and classic), Onix and MorphOS.
The latest release is 2.2.4.
As of November 9th, the first v2.4.0 release candidate hit the web, see what changed.
November 1st 2009
Officially today, we are using IBM Blade Centers to power our web servers! All of our old compaq servers have been donated to a new software company. They were pleased to receive our old 64bit servers; they call their "Sandbox".
The past 90 days I have been swamped with projects for the office. Gearing up for our 2009 PCI Certification required network design changes, physical premises security improvements and me coding a wide range of multi-tier solutions (all in Free Pascal 2.2.x!).
The best way for us to help promote FPC is to seriously start implementing it into our environments. I have ported all of my old hashing code (MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, Tiger, Ripe, etc) to FPC as libraries or embedded routines. I had originally ported DXSock 5.5 to FPC, however, the last few months I have ported the new 6.0 code. This also means, a new web site will be coming for those products along with all of my old Winshock products will be recompiled for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Lastly, I have started again on the path of DXGUI - One GUI Framework for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. This version is implementing XLib on Linux, Carbon on the Mac OS X machines, and then I will port the design to support Windows. Previously, I tried to take the approach of implementing GTK across all three platforms -- Windows wasn't so bad, but Mac OS X - was like a 7 hour install to download all of the X11 pieces that Apple did not include in their operating system.
