| 11 | + | - BeOS : [fpc-2.2.1.i386-beos.tar.gz](<http://olivier.coursiere.free.fr/bootstrap/fpc-2.2.1.i386-beos.tar.gz>) | |

| 18 | - | ||
| 15 | + | Those compilers should compile "branches/fixes_2_2" and trunk. | |
| 19 | 16 | ||
| 20 | - | ||
| 17 | + | 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 | |

| 27 | + | in compiler/systems/t_beos.pas when compiling under Haiku. | |

| 29 | + | ||
| 30 | + | 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...). | |

| 32 | + | 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>) | |
