Description: FPC cross-compiler arm-%type_pkg[platform]

DescDetail: <<
Free Pascal (aka FPK Pascal) is a 32 and 64 bit professional Pascal
compiler. Supported processors: Intel x86, Amd64/x86 64, PowerPC,
Sparc, ARM.
Supported operating systems: nds, FreeBSD, Mac OS X/Darwin,
Mac OS classic, DOS, Win32, OS/2, Netware (libc and classic) and MorphOS.

The language syntax has excellent compatibility with TP 7.0 as well as
with most versions of Delphi (classes, rtti, exceptions, ansistrings,
widestrings, interfaces). A Mac Pascal compatibility mode is also provided
to assist users of previous Pascal compilers for the Mac.
Furthermore, Free Pascal supports function overloading, operator
overloading, global properties and other modern features.

http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_%v also lists changes in fpc.
<<

DescUsage: <<
This Pascal crosscompiler produces arm executables, which run
natively on arm-%type_pkg[platform] systems.
Get help with: fpc -h
Compile and link a Pascal file with:

fpc -T%type_pkg[platform] -Parm FILENAME
