Hi All,
till now I have been using FPC with Linux (Slack distro) and I it works really fine; now I am thinking to move definitely all my job to FreeBSD. What are the problems I will encounter using FPC on FreeBSD? Is FPC stable on FreeBSD?

Thanks

Yes.

Afaik there is only one problem, the signal to exception conversion doesn't work nice, which causes guarding against e.g. division by zero (via exceptions) to fail sometimes.

Some header packages might not be fully tested, but generally such bugs can be killed quickly when found.

NetBSD and OpenBSD also work, but are beta quality. Not much except core functionality has been tested.
