Hi !
Matt Emson a écrit :
Free Pascal 1.0.10 was released with a Beos-port, developed by Carl Eric
Codère. However, Carl stopped with FPC development, and nobody took over,
so the Beo-port had to be discontinued.
Not to contradict you, but version 2.11 is available from here:
http://bebits.com/app/4321 (which basically links to the BeFPC souceforge
file repo.)
Olivier Coursiere maintained a port after Carl stopped producung them.
This 2.1.1 version is not an officially maintained port. It is a quick
port of the "new" RTL (it was new at that time...). This version is
based on libc functions instead of system calls used in older versions.
I still have to find some time to update and submit a patch to include
this in the official source repository. But, from my point of view, it
still need some cleanup before. The port is quite ugly. It is not really
a problem for BeOS specific units (who cares ? ;-), but i use some BEOS
IFDEFs in some key units like "unix" to avoid problems with unsupported
libc functions.
I have no idea which version Pixel uses, as it uses its own widget set
anyway, so theoretically should run with most versions that are at a
suitable feature set. Pixel's development team were extremely underhanded in
the past and took people's money (on the BeOS platform) and thengave little
to show for it. Definately not the right thing to do. Only recently (with in
the last 2 years) is Pixel even usable on BeOS/Zeta.
I suppose Pixel use this version under BeOS/Zeta as Pavel Kanzelsberger
has made some packaging to include it in Zeta (see comments at bebits.com).
