Title: BeOS port
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | This page describes the current status of the BeOS/Haiku port of Free Pascal. | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | ## Current | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | Since FPC 2.4.0 there is official support for Haiku. The FPC release can be downloaded from [here](http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/haiku.var). | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | ## In the past | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | Here are unofficial builds needed to compile Free Pascal on those platforms : | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | `- BeOS : `[`fpc-2.2.1.i386-beos.tar.gz`](http://olivier.coursiere.free.fr/bootstrap/fpc-2.2.1.i386-beos.tar.gz)` `\ | |
| 12 | + | `- Haiku : `[`fpc-2.2.1.i386-haiku.tar.gz`](http://olivier.coursiere.free.fr/bootstrap/fpc-2.2.1.i386-haiku.tar.gz)` ` | |
| 13 | + | ||
| 14 | + | Those compilers should compile "branches/fixes_2_2" and trunk. | |
| 15 | + | ||
| 16 | + | What is missing is a specific target for haiku to use the native ld included in the development package instead of a R5 one. This work is in progress. Until then, the native ld could be used by replacing | |
| 17 | + | ||
| 18 | + | `LinkRes.Add('elf_i386_be');` | |
| 19 | + | ||
| 20 | + | by | |
| 21 | + | ||
| 22 | + | `LinkRes.Add('elf_i386_haiku');` | |
| 23 | + | ||
| 24 | + | in compiler/systems/t_beos.pas when compiling under Haiku. | |
| 25 | + | ||
| 26 | + | The console mode IDE should work but compiling it with gdb support is more complicated (you will need to collect a lot of static libraries from the haiku build : libgdb.a and all its dependencies...). | |
| 27 | + | ||
| 28 | + | Here is a snapshot of fpc 2.3.1 for Haiku (revision 11134) : [fpc-2.3.1.i386-haiku.tar.gz](http://olivier.coursiere.free.fr/download/fpc-2.3.1.i386-haiku.tar.gz) | |
| 29 | + | ||
| 30 | + | This snapshot contains the text mode IDE compiled with debugging support. | |
