That is correct. >This causes interoperability issues when using multiple Linux versions >(2.4/2.6) in a single Debian distribution. I'm not aware of any issues. Could you give examples ? All syscalls used by FPC have been standard since 2.0 afaik. >I read that FPC_USE_LIBC should be used for this, but I couldn't figure >out how to use it since it's not really documented. That's experimental, and not recommended or supported. Problems with libcs constantly breaking binary interface is what drove us to syscalls in the first place. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
