 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Is there a version for a Pi400 available anywhere? Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with Linux... Frank |

Rob mentions RASPBIAN (RPi version of Linux) but I can't find the binary for it. John Edited 2025-12-12 07:20 by JohnS |

Now called Raspberry Pi OS: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/ Use of the Raspberry Pi Imager recommended. (But on reconsideration, you probably meant for GFXTerm.) ~ Edited 2025-12-12 07:54 by lizby PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

I did mean for GFXTerm, yes. No worries. John |

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the GFXTerm version for Raspbian anywhere either...  P.S.: I just found this version from 2020—is it the only one? https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?FID=16&TID=12154#146916 Frank Edited 2025-12-14 05:41 by Frank N. Furter |

@robert.rozee: Rob, do you really not have a newer version for the Raspberry Pi?  Frank |

hi Frank, sorry for the late reply, i've been a tad tied up recently. i've just updated the repository here: https://github.com/robert-rozee/GFXterm/tree/main so that it now contains a source directory from which you should be able to build a binary for Raspbian. you will first need to install FPC and Lazarus IDE on your RPi, after which you can attempt a compile from a terminal/command window using: user@user-DH61BE:~/test/source$ lazbuild project1.lpr Hint: (11030) Start of reading config file /etc/fpc.cfg Hint: (11031) End of reading config file /etc/fpc.cfg Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.2 [2025/01/17] for x86_64 Copyright (c) 1993-2021 by Florian Klaempfl and others (1002) Target OS: Linux for x86-64 (3104) Compiling project1.lpr (3104) Compiling start.pas (3104) Compiling unit1.pas (3104) Compiling unit2.pas (3104) Compiling unit3.pas /home/user/tests/source/unit3.pas(153,16) Note: (6058) Call to subroutine "function FpOpen(const path:RawByteString;flags:LongInt):LongInt;" marked as inline is not inlined (3104) Compiling unit4.pas (3104) Compiling unit5.pas (3104) Compiling unit6.pas /home/user/test/source/serial.inc(164,26) Note: (6058) Call to subroutine "function FpOpen(const path:RawByteString;flags:LongInt):LongInt;" marked as inline is not inlined /home/user/test/source/engine.inc(117,24) Hint: (5057) Local variable "VTline" does not seem to be initialized (9022) Compiling resource /home/user/test/source/lib/x86_64-linux/project1.or (9015) Linking /home/user/test/source/project1 (1008) 24960 lines compiled, 1.7 sec (1022) 3 hint(s) issued (1023) 2 note(s) issued user@user-DH61BE:~/test/source$ report back on where it fails, and i'll attempt to make any fixes needed. as i recall someone did successfully make a RPi build five years back, with minimal changes needed. the performance wasn't stellar, but then we have gone through a couple of generations of RPi since then! cheers, rob :-) Edited 2025-12-18 21:49 by robert.rozee |
