I had a few hours with nothing to do yesterday - confined to home, and bad weather, so I decided to amuse myself with having another go at getting stuff compiling under free pascal. I made substantial progress, but I've gotten stuck on what looks like a compiler bug to me. see https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,51150.0.html

Sounds like there might be a way to work around the issue?

ok, so I decided to make getting FHIRServer to compile under FPC my goal for during our extended lock down here in Melbourne. And I've just committed a version of the code that successfully compiles under FPC. I still have a long way to go - there's various hacks to system libraries such as zlib to get it compile that means it absolutely won't run. But at least the code compiles now ;-)

The goal here is to get to the point where we can compile it for OSX, Linux etc (I no longer believe in the delphi path towards cross-platform support)

ok. Compiles, links, and starts running on linux. Doesn't get very far before bang, but that's a lot of progress ;-). And I have 14 days of lock down left ;-)
