Getting fpcbuild repository

Get sources, download the fpcbuild from ftp and extract it or use a command like:

 svn export http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_2_4_0 fpcbuild

Getting binaries for debugging support in the IDE

At the time of writing, a package containing the needed files is available here : http://olivier.coursiere.free.fr/download/libgdb-6.3-i386-haiku.zip

While you can compile gdb on your own, the easiest way (by far) under Haiku is to build Haiku yourself. Instructions are available at http://www.haiku-os.org/development.

Then, you can collect all the needed files in the build tree :

  • libgdb.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/gdb
  • libbfd.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/bfd
  • libiberty.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/libiberty
  • libopcodes.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/opcodes
  • libreadline.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gdb/readline
  • libintl.a in generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/bin/gawk/intl/
  • libgcc.a in /boot/develop/abi/x86/gcc2/tools/gcc-2.95.3-haiku-081024/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-haiku/2.95.3-haiku-081024 (you may have to adapt the path to the installed gcc version on your machine).

Getting documentation

Get the most recent docs package from the ftp site, it's called docs-pdf.tar.gz and copy it into the fpcbuild/ directory.

Building packages

pre-2.4.0 specific : if haiku is not in the UNIXs variable at the begining of Makefile, you will have to regenerate them with fpcmake (at least from r14324). If not, the install script adapted for Haiku will not fully work.

Haiku is unix like enough to use the Freepascal's unix scripts to generate a binary distribution. Unfortunately, there is no /usr/bin path under Haiku. So, the usual shebang will not work. A workaround is to execute the script with sh directly.

Change into fpcbuild/, then execute

 sh install/makepack
