As in IBM Power8 ? I do have a history with IBM Power systems, once managed a couple of largeish BlueGene machines. But a long time ago. I now have no hope of getting direct access to P8 hardware. FPC 320 does apparently support ppc64le and maybe I can cross compile ? But sooner or later I'd have to use MiniCloud and bring X back over ssh. Brazil to Australia ? Wow, thats going to be fun. Now, Lazarus, and in this case, I mean LCL, does not offer any PPC64le support at all. But you seem to have installed some LCL at least so I suspect I should be able to solve the KControls issue that you hit just with an understanding of what the OS offers. I expect there will be # defines there that think they are looking at an old Mac PPC and thats sure not going to work. So, its possible, the question is, is it practical ? Personally, I'd consider it pretty cool but I have to ask, is anyone using IBM Power8 desktop systems ?
