Has anyone compiled for ARM? I noticed that there is now a FreePascal compiler for ARM. I just purchased a Raspberry Pi and would like to put CQRLOG on it. I know there is other stuff to compile to get the it up and running; that would have to be done also. It would be a neat use of the Raspberry PI to support my station. The Pi is a "QRP" package, so that would fit well with portable usage too.

Hello Bill,
as far as I know, debian build system compiled CQRLOG for ARM before. I'm not sure if recent version works on ARM. There were some issues with Lazarus but if you can do some experimets, it should work. I'm sorry, I don't have any ARM machine here.

Last night I tried to build the package on my AC100 (armhf ubuntu 12.4), dpkg-buildpackage fails compiling ipc/ipc.pp.
Because the ipc/README says that the unit should have been removed after fpc 2.4.4 I removed ipc from cqrlog.lpi. Compilation now runs to the end with only some warning.
I had only the time to start the program so I can not say it really works but at least I now have a chance to test ;)
I'll build the binary package and test everything in the next days, I'll let you know the result.

I successfully build the binary package (deb) on arm and it seems to work correctly.
It can be downloaded from here http://www.dei.unipd.it/~filippi/cqrlog/cqrlog_1.5.1-1_armel.deb if anyone is interested in testing.

Hello Marco,
thank you for great news! May I add your link do official download page, please?
The ipc directory is there because of backward compatibility with old FreePascal compiler in Ubuntu 10.04. As far as I know, Lucid is still very popular version and I'd like to create packages for it. Maybe after half of year or so, I'll drop 10.04 support.

Sorry Petr, I missed your message.
I build also the 1.5.2 for armel, binary can be downloaded from http://www.dei.unipd.it/~filippi/cqrlog/cqrlog_1.5.2-1_armel.deb
Once again removing ipc dependency was enought for a sucessfull build.
And yes, you can add the links to official download pages.

P.S.A note for myself: next time Marco remember to close all program before to compile or you'll run out of memory!!!
I compiled the new 1.5.4 release for arm platform.
It can be downloaded from http://www.dei.unipd.it/~filippi/cqrlog/cqrlog_1.5.4-1_armel.deb

P.S.I was sure to have already answered yesterday but I don't see my message in the forum ... it's time for me to have some holiday
After an update of my portable OS I'm now on a armhf platform.
You can find version 1.5.6 here http://www.dei.unipd.it/~filippi/cqrlog/cqrlog_1.5.6-1_armhf.deb
Please detail your fix in the Debian bug about this at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692820
The correct way to distribute .deb's of a program is to get them into Debian, please help us achieve this by documenting your work in the existing bug report or by opening a new bug if you have something new.
