[fpc-pascal] Who is working on getting FreePascal released?

[Thomas Kurz]

Me too.

I'm building the Win32 and Win64 within a Docker container on Linux, keeping the same directory structure which the official Lazarus builds use. 
It builds Lazarus trunk and FPC trunk. I've attached the build script; maybe it can help someone.

It's certainly possible to build other platforms (Linux, DOS, macOS, OS2, whatsoever), but I don't need them. That's why I focused on Windows only.

What environment and architecture are you on? 

I've started making unofficial releases of FPC 3.3.1 ('main' - aka 'trunk'). I 
started this mainly because I have software that requires features in FPC 
3.3.1 that others wanted to test too - and I simply can't sit around for a few 
more years, waiting for the FPC team.

Think of it as "FPC Community Edition" releases. ;-)  These will come out 
monthly.

I'm considering merging in a few outstanding MRs too for those releases (after 
I did a round of triaging).

ps: I'll probably rename the project at some point.

Regards,
  Graeme
