I looked at the unit (mainly the synsock unit), and I see a Delphi project
patched for Kylix, which is patched for FPC/Linux.
If you want to make it more generic (I think Solaris/*BSD/MacOSX should be
possible long term), you need to clean up some things:
- Make a global include file, that stores things like FPC mode, and
all the defines set in each unit.
- Move OS dependant things for a unit as synsock to include files or units.
- Separate everything under $IFDEF LINUX in real Linux stuff (like kernel
structures, glibc base and derived types), and "unix" generic stuff.
- Try to get as many of these structures etc from generic units as Linux/Unix
sockets etc.
