C++ on linux is a bit of a nightmare though with libstdc++ changing ABI all the time and apps linked against multiple versions of libstdc++ tending to crash so C++ code in your app may be something you want to avoid. you could possiblly ship the c++ as source and the pascal as .o files avoiding the need for fpc on the users machine while avoiding the libstdc++ versioning issues. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
