Maybe I'm coming back on this when the basics are done and the code using these units is in shape for building a component.

This isn´t true for Mac OS X. Althought it is based on FreeBSD, it is very, very different from standard unix boxes. It shares at least 90% of the rtl with the other BSD's, so it isn't that different at the basic unix level. It's mainly different if you want to use OS X-specific functionality (like its gui environment instead of X11). Regarding serial port stuff: none of the Macs which can run the latest version of Mac OS X still has a serial port. There are USB-serial converters out there though, and their drivers (.e.g from Keyspan) create a regular serial port device in /dev which works identically to those under other unixes. It's not because other interfaces are available, that there is no compatibility with the traditional unix way of working.

[fpc-pascal] Problem with h2pas
Hello, I am trying to use h2pas to convert the rest of ImageMagick headers. On a file that contains only 3 lines of code: extern MagickExport MagickBooleanType AnimateImageCommand(ImageInfo *,int,char **,char **,ExceptionInfo *), AnimateImages(const ImageInfo *,Image *); h2pas gives me a generic "syntax error" error pointing to the 2nd line of code =( any ideas? (or other conversion tools) thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

(or other conversion tools) The problem is the 'MagickExport'. Remove that and it'll work fine. This is a macro, and h2pas does not support macros. One thing to do is to run each .h file through gcc -E first. Michael. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Ok, I removed it and h2pas doesn't complain now. One more problem occured, however. On this declaration: extern MagickExport MagickBooleanType AnimateImageCommand(ImageInfo *,int,char **,char **,ExceptionInfo *), AnimateImages(const ImageInfo *,Image *); It only creates the first function. It ignores the second. Apparently h2pas doesn't support this kind of declaration. thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
