Hi,

Here are some patchs to improve the BeOS port of Freepascal.

- HaikuFix.diff : patch to enable a full build of Freepascal under Haiku. bcopy seems to behave differently under BeOS and Haiku when searching for include file in the compiler. So, i propose to use the internal functions instead of libc's ones under BeOS.

- ide_and_video.diff : patch to bring the ide to BeOS. I use UTF8 to draw "graphic" chars as the BeOS Terminal support them.

- packages_base_gdbint.diff : patch to compile the IDE with debugging support under Haiku (not tested under BeOS because it is more difficult for me to build all the needed dependencies).

- packages_base_netdb.diff : a little patch to fix a problem in the makefile when running "make zipinstall" under Haiku. Regenerating the makefile should work too.

- QuickFix_exeinfo.diff : patch to fix BeOS compilation with recent changes in this area. It does not seems to work yet.

- rtl_beos.diff : implementation of FpNanoSleep. Without an implementation of that function, the ide eat as much CPU as it can !

With all this, i am able to build the complete source tree under Haiku. I am also able to compile the IDE under Haiku with debugging support.

Here is a screen shot of the IDE under Haiku :

Here is a working patch to exeinfo.pp. However, i am not sure i have used the best approach to reuse ELF32 functions. BeOS only need to set processaddress in OpenElf function using a specific function.

Thanks. Patches are applied. Small modifications to the updated exeinfo patch.
