Right now only the "SynCrossPlatformJSON.pas" under "crossplatform" directory can be compiled with Free Pascal.

Now FPC compiles TestSQLite3.dpr, but it is not working yet.
A lot of fixes are still needed, mainly due to diverse RTTI low-level data structures...

Re: Freepascal compilation issue with trunk

I can feel your pain ...

RTTI incompatibility is indeed the reason why several vendors shy away from FPC ...

Would it be possible you place the task on the FreePascal forum to seek for FPC experts' help or participation ?

Re: Freepascal compilation issue with trunk

ab, There must be HUGE work and it must take some time to get the entire mORMot compiled with FPC...

Re: Freepascal compilation issue with trunk

I suppose we won't need big code modification.
We tried to be FPC ready since the beginning (e.g. not relying on FPC incompatible features like enhanced RTTI or Delphi units).

But we need to debug all regression tests for FPC, and do a lot of small fixes (sometimes with $ifdef FPC) to let the entire framework be compiled with FPC.

Then, once working on Windows with FPC, we should add cross-platform abilities.

And that will be one of the biggest things for Delphi developer who does web apps in the near future!
