1 - Releasing software generated by the BeOS compiler

Software generated for the BeOS target will only work on the Intel based version of BeOS.

  • The target system must have at least BeOS v4.0 or later (BeOS 5.1d Dano is not supported).
  • Stack size is set to 256K bytes. This cannot be changed.
2 - Debugging

Debugging works with the system-supplied gdb version.

3 - Dynamic libraries

Even though this operating system permits the creation and usage of shared libraries (also called dynamic link libraries), the compiler currently only permits importing routines from dynamic libraries (creation of dynamic libraries is unsupported).

4 - Profiling

Profiling is currently not supported for this platform.

5 - BeOS Linking problems

It has been reported that certain versions of the linker that shipped with some versions of BeOS are broken. If you get an error when linking fpc applications, try updating your version of ld from the following site.
