As a principle , assume that I can help you as much as possible to make
Free Pascal and Lazarus a
working port in DragonFly BSD .
For this I need your help because I do not know DragonFly BSD sufficiently
well .
Due to this I need explicit instructions about what to do .
Assume I have sufficient time to apply steps .


Another point is if we can document what we did to generate these ports ,
such a document would be used as a guide for other ports .

Testing is important . Let's include all testing steps applicable to verify
usability of
Free Pascal and Lazarus .


Assume I have installed 4.0 RC3 and it is booted and the computer is
shutdown and rebooted to
start working on Free Pascal port .


There is the following page , but it is not clear for me
because of assumptions about pkgsrc which is not applicable for 4.0 RC3 :

http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/HowToDPorts/


Let also assume that DragonFlyBSD repository is cloned here and updates
will be applied quickly .



Would you please

 make a list of steps
 what I should note

which

I can apply ,
Take notes and
reply to you at the end .



I do not know kyua ,

http://pkg.wolfpond.org/dragonfly:4.0:x86:64/LATEST/All/kyua-0.11,2.txz

but can we apply it for testing steps of this port . In that way , we can
also enlarge testing facility for DragonFly BSD .




Thank you very much .
