Updated to compile on FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows

Quite a few changes were required, but all the examples now compile with FPC 3.2.2 or 3.3.1 on:

  • FreeBSD (tested on 13.0-RELEASE)
  • Linux (tested on Ubuntu 21.10 - Note: TLS does not work)
  • macOS 10.12 and later
  • Windows (tested on 10 with updated SSL libraries - see OpenSSL.pas for details)
  • All insecure TLS/SSL methods have been removed (ie SSL2, SSL3, TLS v1, TLS v1.1) leaving TSL v1.2 and TLS v1.3

Instructions:

  1. Compile with FPC 3.2.2 or FPC 3.3.1
  2. Download a ZIP file and unzip
  3. cd to the lnet-master directory
  4. run make (this compiles the library and console examples - there are no Cocoa/Carbon hooks for the visual components, so they do not compile for macOS)
  5. For Lazarus, add the path to lnet-master/lib to the Project Options > Paths - "Other unit files" OR
  6. For FPC, use -Fu to add the path to lnet-master/lib
