Hi,
With the new year, a new Free Pascal release came out : Free Pascal
2.4.0, with the first official package for Haiku.
Here is the announcement : http://freepascal.org/ and here is the
download page : http://freepascal.org/down/i386/haiku.var.
The package include :
- the compiler,
- lots of libraries,
- and a complete textmode IDE, with mouse and integrated debugging support.
While there is probably more bugs under Haiku than under other supported
platforms, i think it is ready for more exposure.
The long term goal (at least mine ;-) is still to provide some direct
pascal bindings to the Haiku's API (but nothing new for years in this area).
In the meantime, it might be possible to have a complete Delphi like IDE
thanks to Lazarus (http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/) and Haiku's qt
port (http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/qt-beos/). It is still not
usable, but here is a screenshot showing the current state :

Happy Haiku year !
