BEOS macro is not defined. 2. __BEOS__ macro is not defined. 3. BEOS_R5 macro is not defined. 4. HAVE_BONE_VERSION is not defined 5. BEOS_BONE is defined, but it also defined when building on Linux. The configure script identify target system type as "x86_64-unknown-haiku", not as "-beos". So it looks that Haiku doesn't use on BeOS code in APR. -- Ivan Zhakov
