Andreas, I am not familiar with Xubuntu (Ubuntu Linux?), but I can tell you a little about compiling under Windows. The SYSTEM unit is actually comprised of several files, of which SYSTEM.PAS is only one; there are some assembly language files wh...

Hi I'm using Xubuntu on my laptop and wanted to install VP. I download the file and opened it. I installed every thing and started VP. Then I load my file. As I wanted to copilieren it, it said: Error 15: Datei system.vpi is not found. What shell ...

The most used diff format is Universal diff, which is not particularly suitable when the target files are copyrighted, because it contains context from the target. That's a pity, since the universal diff format has a way better chance of succeedi...

The updd tool is one I bought a LONG time ago, and I don't have the source for it. If it doesn't work in 64-bit Windows now, it never will... Sorry :(

i found out that the delphi 5.01 patch accepts sysutils and classes in the 5.00 version, but neither 3.0, 5.0, 5.01 nor 7.00 consts...aah... consts is localized so it rejects the german version :/ E:\delphi\source>E:\vp21b279\updd.exe C:\tools\vp...

the update patches to delphi 5 seem to be broken. it does nothing on delphi 5.01 source files (all invalid) and on delphi 5.0 it just patches sysutils and classes but stops on consts, and leaves a half-updated system which cannot compile due to a ...

i just wanted to state that the updd.exe update tool does not work on xp 64bit. only 32bit binaries are allowed here. so please recompile that patcher to support win32 image format for the next build. my vp installation always threw up a bunch of ...

Hello Allan

There is nothing wrong with Virtual Pascal that I can find thus far. I had already tried GNU Pascal, and Free Pascal, and this was the first I could get to work first time in Windows XP SP2 without needing addition bits like Cygwin.dll or mingw32. I have compiled my first three easy novice tests successfully.

Hi Allan.

FPC is trying to push out a new major version, 2.2 on a fairly short term (months). It completes most of the missing Delphi functionality, at least in potential. (IOW after bugfixes).

The main point still missing is packages. (and DLLs in general could use some attention)

Hello Allan,

good news, that vpascal seems not to be dead!

Is there any chance that you will compile an actual version of vpascal? (Or publish your personal version ...) My special interest is only for the command line version (OS/2 and Win32).

Hello,

I seem to have been the fastest one. ;-) Nice to hear from you again...

Some time ago (after you sent the official "death certificate" of VP), I sent you an e-mail asking about possibility to get access to the part of source code related to OS/2 debugger (assuming that it this code may be royalty free). This would be primarily targeted to getting support for debugging OS/2 with FPC IDE.

Similarly, code supporting reading and creation of .OBJ files plus the linker code (supporting LX format creation) might be interesting too (at least for reference).

Would you be willing (and able - depending on the licence terms you had with fPrint) to provide access to this part of source code?

Thanks

Tomas

Downloading VP

I still get the occasional email from someone that wants to download VP, and it's clearly not obvious how to do so.



Let me point you to the forum thread that has the latest VP build attached to it, and also points to a few mirrors: Virtual Pascal Download Forum Topic



Happy downloading!
Allan

New VP community

After the main Virtual Pascal site went down 2 years or so ago, I have occasionally received email from someone that wants to know what is up with VP - and I didn't have a good answer other than "sorry".

With this new site, there will once again be a platform for users of VP to communicate, share ideas, files and thoughts - I encourage you to use it.

I don't intend to do any more with VP than I have before, but will occasionally have a look to see how it goes.

VP fans… Continue
