Jonas Maebe 8b0301409a + i386/iphonesim target for the new iPhoneSimulator in Xcode 3.2.4 and
later: the same as i386/darwin, except
      a) uses the non-fragile Objective-C ABI/runtime
      b) does not require stubs for direct calls/jumps (not required for
         i386/darwin under 10.6 and later either, but still generated
         there for backwards compatibility)
      c) only the same packages are enabled as for ARM/Darwin
      d) MacOSAll is compiled specifically for the iPhoneSimulator SDK
    This target also defines the symbol "darwin" apart from the target
    name "iphonesim" for source code compatibility reasons.

How to compile
--------------

You can compile by hand, or use the makefile. The makefile uses the
makefile.fpc that is distributed by the FPC team.

1) Using the makefile.
   Edit the makefile: 
     set the DEFAULTFPCDIR
     if libgds is not in /usr/lib, set GDSLIBDIR
   type 'make'. It should all compiler

2) By hand:
   simply type:
   ppc386 -S2 ibase60
   (or ibase40 if you have the older version)

   If your libgds.so file is not in /usr/lib, you may need to add
   -Fl/path/to/libgds

Using the testprogram
---------------------

The mkdb script (mkdb.pas batch file) creates a database.
default testdb.gdb is assumed. You can override that by 
specifying an alternate database as an option.

The testib program connects to the testdatabase. You must edit
the testib.pp file and set the database, password and username.
After editing, compile the program. 
Run it and it will display the contents of the database.

Enjoy !
