[fpc-pascal] Is somebody working on making jcl work again with fpc (on linux)

[Michael Ring]

For a quick start I did the following:

for file in /data/subversion/svn/jcl/source/common/*.pas 
/data/subversion/svn/jcl/source/unix/*.pas ; do  fpc -FE. 
-Fu/data/subversion/svn/jcl/source/common/ 
-Fi/data/subversion/svn/jcl/source/ $file 2>&1  ; done | grep -i Error | 
sort | uniq

This tries to compile all the common+unix stuff. I end up with the 
following Messages:

JclLogic.pas(1130,19) Error: Asm: [bts mem32,mem32] invalid combination 
of opcode and operands
JclLogic.pas(1193,19) Error: Asm: [bt mem32,mem32] invalid combination

JclSchedule.pas(1315,52) Fatal: Syntax error, ";" expected but

JclUnitVersioning.pas(235,3) Note: Local variable "Error" is assigned 
but never used
JclUnitVersioning.pas(480,8) Error: Identifier not found "GetModuleFileName"
JclUnitVersioning.pas(839) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, 
stopping

JclWideStrings.pas(2029) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, 
stopping
JclWideStrings.pas(950,13) Error: Identifier not found "CompareString"


Some of those are easy to fix, the assembler errors in JclLogic.pas give 
me the creeps because my last lines of assembler code  were written 15 
years ago....
