After years of playing to get ICS running under FPC/win32, the 1.1.x compiler is finally getting so stable that the only remaining differences are minor ones. So minor, that the author of ICS has decided to merge them into the main distribution over time.

Currently FPC compiles the few console demoes (http, smtp, ftp and generic socket), and the units that belong to that (and a few more without demoes)

To use ICS, you need a 1.1 compiler of yesterday, and the ICS source tree.

The source tree is in CVS as projects/contrib/ics
From time to time I make CVS sources snapshots of ICS and put them on the ICS/FPC status page:

I've never even heard of ICS untill now :P I used to use Delphi 5 but that was many years ago. I've used FPC ever since. Goes to show you how much I know huh :P

What other internet suites are there besides ICS that can be used easily with FPC ?

cheers

Synapse. It's on the contributed units list, I think.

ICS is D1..D6/7 compatible....

Few.

Slowly the compiler isn't the problem anymore, at least if you use 1.1.

The remaining problems are simply missing the VCL etc, not something FPC related.

The problem is that there simply is little non visual Delphi code.

Some pkgs tested:
- Marcel v Brakel 10MB of Windows headers. (in CVS projects/contrib)
- Synapse (there has been discussion about that too. Also in CVS)
- Michael is working on some turbopower stuff.
- Decal should also be possible (some STL like library)
- Some parts of the Jedi JCL maybe.
- I played with some SQL parser from Source Forge.

The ultimate goal of course is to get the Delphi Quake II port running under FPC.

If I remember correctly, this is what you guys had a huge mailing list conversation about :P God knows what about though I couldn't follow it after 2 follow ups :(
