Hi,

Anybody here using FPC on Haiku? If so, how well does it work compared to under Windows or Linux?

Ben.

It used to work well enough under BeOS R5, but there was always an issue with the C++ nature of the Be API. Haiku seems to have a Qt port, so you might get further with it. I seem to recall Lazarus can target Qt, right?

Afaik Lazarus runs on Haiku due to the work of mostly Olivier Coursiere. (it was GTK2 based iirc).

The number of haiku patches is slow, but every FPC release contains a couple.

Yes, me ! It should work well. But, as you can imagine, there is a lot less testers under Haiku. So, bugs might remains here and there. Feel free to submit bugs or patchs in the bug tracker.

Qt based in fact ;-) But, yes, Lazarus runs quite well. Integrated debugging does not work. I have not yet look at this problem (it might work one day as it already works in the textmode IDE). There is a few problems in the designer when dragging components (probably some bugs in Haiku's Qt port).

Yes, i try to compile freepascal on a regular basis under Haiku and submit patchs when needed or when i found something. But any help is welcome ;-)

Regards,
Olivier
