[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#963623: fpc: Please enable build on ppc64el

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Source: fpc
Version: 3.2.0~rc1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
User: debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64el

Hello!

FPC 3.2.0 officially supports ppc64el and Fedora is already building it.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to successfully bootstrap FPC on
Debian using the binaries provided by upstream due to issues with the
install path ("powerpc64-linux" vs. "powerpc64el-linux").

After spending more than an hour, I'm giving up on this and hope that the
package maintainers find a way to get the package to build.

For the extra build options needed, please have a look at the Fedora
package spec file [1].

Adrian
