[fpc-devel]Exporting variables in libraries for Linux / FreeBSD

It's very simple.

Try compiling this:

-cut-
library test;

var o: integer;

exports
  o;

end.
-cut-

it will compile on Win32, but just refuse to compile on Linux. When you
search on the error the compiler generates, you'll find the docs that
explain that exporting of variables is only supported on Win32.

Sincerely,
Maarten.
