Hi all
I have been having discussions with Leon de Boer who is writing most of the FreeVision (FV) stuff. The project is being done to dispense with all copyright issues, and it seems that this has largely been achieved. I have ported the Objects unit to GPC, along with a few other units. The sticking point now is a number of the base units (drivers.pas, dialogs.pas and views.pas), which contain some assembler code. Some of these are in x86 assembler and some (determined by some IFDEFs) are in FPC assembler (which looks to me like the AT&T syntax). Since I understand neither of these, I can't proceed with the porting.
If you would like to help with porting these units, then do please get in touch. It would seem better to recode these assembler routines in Pascal than to convert the FPC assembler to something that GPC can understand (if it isn't already in that form).
In my opinion, if we can port these three units to GPC, then a working class library for GPC (which also supports several other Pascal compilers) is within reach.
