Installation of Free Pascal on a Amiga classic (68k) machine

You need:

an Amiga or emulated UAE
68020 or better
OS 3.0 or better or AROS68k
much RAM
binary release of Free Pascal for 68k Amiga

Installation

Unpack the archive file to a temp folder (not RAM: because usually it will be too big)
Start the installer follow instructions
Restart Amiga

Crosscompile from Linux

Docker container

There is a ready to use docker container with Free Pascal and Lazarus

Download archive [1]
follow instructions inside the archive

Create cross compiler

This section describe how the Free Pascal compiler with all units can be created under a linux system. This could be important if you start without a working Free Pascal at Amiga.

A working Linux system (CPU is not important, i386 and x64 tested other platform might work)
A Free Pascal compiler for your Linux (atm. Version = 3.2) (e.g. at Ubuntu/Debian apt-get install fpc)
You need a the amiga binutils, e.g. Cross binutils vasm/vlink
Get the latest Free Pascal source
- via svn: svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
- via git: git clone https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source.git fpc
- via zip: from the Free Pascal Development Page
A folder fpc is created with the sources inside, change to the folder

cd fpc

Now everything is set for make the compiler, we choose zipinstall to create directly a packed version fpc-3.3.1.m68k-amiga.tar.gz

make zipinstall CPU_TARGET=m68k OS_TARGET=amiga

In case opting for the vasm/vlink binutils (instead of the gnu binutils):

make zipinstall CPU_TARGET=m68k OS_TARGET=amiga CROSSOPT="-XV -Avasm"

now you have a complete archive with the Amiga Free Pascal compiler with all units and some utilities
