This page serves to collect information about common problems encountered when porting applications/libraries to the BeOS platform. The problems should be identified by the (compiler) errors that typify them.

For POSIX-related problems, see [wiki:BeOSPosix].

=== no undefined references allowed in i586-pc-beos shared libraries ===
