Hello,

I have finished with Phase 1 of the Free Pascal Compiler Delphi XE Port 
Project:

http://www.skybuck.org/FreePascalCompilerDelphiXEPortProject/


All code with porting issue's have been disabled by me.

(The RTL is not used, instead small portions of it where copied to 
unit_skybuck_types.pas for the time being).


By disabling/commenting all code porting issue's it's now possible to fully 
compile the free pascal compiler in Delphi XE which should be a great help 
to programmers all over the world that want to help with this new project !

Programmers should now be able to fix any bug in any file, they can all 
working in parallel.


This project is open to anybody skilled enough at fixing porting issue's... 
these are probably/hopefully little issue's like... fixing pascal-array 
features which are not supported in Delphi. (How to exactly fix these 
issue's could be further discussed perhaps via e-mail, a forum, 
newsgroups... not sure yet where we could discuss this... I'll probably 
setup a nice little forum for us to communicate via the website... )


I also hope that the original developers of free pascal might take a little 
peak and perhaps help out at fixing their own compiler so it becomes 
"portable" again.

You should have and/or install a latest version of Delphi... (Delphi XE 
preferably) that would be great... then you have all the advanced tools that 
you need to fix this code ! ;) =D

Perhaps your code might even benefit from this. Perhaps it's also easier to 
navigate to certain things.


Do see SkybuckChanges.txt to see what I did to source code...

I shall also paste a link to the source code right here so you don't have to 
wrestly through that somewhat whacky/messy website ;):

http://www.skybuck.org/FreePascalCompilerDelphiXEPortProject/fpcbuild-2.4.2-delphi-xe-port-version-002-do-not-use-free-pascal-rtl.rar

Good luck to all and may the force be with you ! ;) =D

Bye,
  Skybuck.
