Anyone compiled it on Free Pascal?

the Delphi Community Edition currently seems completely broken: when signing up, you get an email with a serial-code, and when trying to use that serial-code during installation, it will say

No valid license information found for Embarcadero Delphi 10.4. You must provide a valid serial number(blablabla)

and when trying to email activation@embarcadero.com about the issue, you get an error

550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces.

so yeah... seems Delphi Community Edition is not currently an option.. Anyone tried compiling it on Free Pascal?

just had a crack at it, seems this is going to be very difficult: the first hurdle is that uFreeLocalizer won't compile because it uses System.LoadResString which seems to be missing in FreePascal..

but i also got the feeling that this is just the top of the iceberg of problems for getting HFS2 compiling on FreePascal =/

another problem with the Community Edition: last version of CE able to compile JEDI Code Library was 10.3, they removed support in 10.4 per https://blogs.embarcadero.com/delphi-cbuilder-community-editions-now-available-in-version-10-4-2/#comment-1339 x.x
(the paid version is still compatible, the Community Edition isn't.)
