BeFPC alpha 1 release.
|
|
|
|
This archive contains the alpha 1 release source (not official FP rating, my own) of BeFPC, the Free Pascal port to BeOS.
|
|
|
|
The compiler is 'complete', in so much as it can correctly create executable files from pascal source - it's by no means finished to production levels.
|
|
|
|
Things are at an experimental stage. No one claims that any of the code included is an example of 'good coding practice'. Please, no flames ;-)
|

I expect to have a basic, non OO, pascal GUI sollution by the begining/mid of August 2001. This will consist of an expanded 'simpleapp' style affair, but will not be a 'replacement' for the Be API. The bottom line is that until FPC links to C++, we'll never fully get the full benefits of the Be API in apps.
|
|
|
|
NB. the OO section of FPC is not yet working correctly in this version of the compiler - stay tuned. Work is underway for a version of the compiler that fully supports BeOS. The work is being undertaken by the FP team, take a look periodically at http://www.freepascal.org for more info.

Source: I have no idea if this source compiles at this point. It does in its original form, but I deleted a lot of 'stuff' to make the archive smaller. The archive is meant only to comply with the GPL that governs the FPC distribution.

Lastly, have fun!!
