well i tried installing the ppc binary (i assumed it would run ok under rosetta) and it gets a bit further but still with errors:

Your compiler is not yet aware of Intel Macs, but it can be circumvented.

Create a script ppc-as which contains:

#!/bin/sh
as -arch ppc $*

Then create also a script for the linker ppc-ld, which contains:

#!/bin/sh
ld -arch ppc $*

... and try "make all OPT=-XPppc".

Sorry, i dont understand what to do with the scripts. do i put them somewhere (and what should the filenames be)? do i run them from the terminal (didnt seem to have any effect)

from the new errors, it seems its still looking for what the scripts turn off

make all OPT=-XPppc

It will search the assembler in the PATH. Apparently it is searching for "ppcas" instead of "ppc-as", that should be easy to fix

(Rename the scripts or try "-XPppc-" )

ok great, i think its nearly there, but nearly not. in the main fpc folder im doing "make all OPT=-XPppc" and after about a minute i get this

looks like its still doing a lot of ppc things... (im hoping to get an intel version out of this)

[dmantione]

Argh! After bootstrapping the compiler the compiler does know about Intel macs and uses -arch twice, one time by the compiler, one time by our script.

Take the ppc1 from the compiler directory (move it to /usr/local/bin/ppcppc_211 or something.

Then try "make all FPC=/usr/local/bin/ppcppc_211".

About the Intel version. Don't worry, we'll get there. We need to have a PowerPC cross-compiler first.

[tux]

it worked! where abouts is the new compiler and where do i put it? (the installer did this all for me last time ops: )

thanks for getting this far dmantione

[dmantione]

Good! You can do "make install" afterwards to install the newly build compiler.

Now the cross-compiler:
* Go to the directory compiler.
* Type "make i386 FPC=/path/to/fpc-source/compiler/ppcppc'
* Now a compiler ppc386 will be built. It is still a PowerPC binary, but instead of PowerPC code it generates i386 code.
* Copy ppc386 to /usr/local/bin

If you have the cross-compiler:
* Go into the root of the FPC source directory again.
* Type "make all FPC=/usr/local/bin/ppc386"
* This should build the Intel release.

ok, it seemed to compile the ppc386 without errors, i copied it to the /usr/local/bin folder and went to compile all again, this is what i got:

jons-computer:~/fpc jon$ make all FPC=/usr/local/bin/ppc386
Makefile:172: *** The Makefile doesn't support target darwin-Fatal:, please run fpcmake first. Stop.

if i run the earlier built ppcppc i get this

jons-computer:~/fpc jon$ ppcppc
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.1.1 [2006/07/08] for powerpc
Copyright (c) 1993-2006 by Florian Klaempfl

compiler options...

if i run ppc386 i get this

jons-computer:~/fpc jon$ ppc386
Fatal: Internal error 2004121201
Fatal: Compilation aborted

[dmantione]

That Makefile error is because of the broken ppc386. I have no idea where that internalerror comes from, which is kind of bad news :/

Can youy try to "make clean" in the compiler directory first before doing "make i386 FPC=/path/to/compiler"? Before you do that, mjake sure you back up the ppcppc in that directory as it will be deleted.
