Anybody here using FPC on Haiku? If so, how well does it work compared
to under Windows or Linux?
Yes, me ! It should work well. But, as you can imagine, there is a lot
less testers under Haiku. So, bugs might remains here and there. Feel
free to submit bugs or patchs in the bug tracker.
It used to work well enough under BeOS R5, but there was always an issue
with the C++ nature of the Be API. Haiku seems to have a Qt port, so you
might get further with it. I seem to recall Lazarus can target Qt, right?
Afaik Lazarus runs on Haiku due to the work of mostly Olivier Coursiere.
(it was GTK2 based iirc).
Qt based in fact ;-) But, yes, Lazarus runs quite well. Integrated
debugging does not work. I have not yet look at this problem (it might
work one day as it already works in the textmode IDE). There is a few
problems in the designer when dragging components (probably some bugs in
Haiku's Qt port).
The number of haiku patches is slow, but every FPC release contains a
couple.
Yes, i try to compile freepascal on a regular basis under Haiku and
submit patchs when needed or when i found something. But any help is
welcome ;-)
Regards,
Olivier
