    24 Because of the incompatibilities between the various BeOS platforms, a port should be tested on all of them. '''BONE''' binaries however, should be able to run on Dano and Zeta, from what I hear. Correct me (Brecht) if I'm wrong. So that's one target for the three of those. '''R5''' (5.0.3) and '''Haiku''' are very different from BONE and are therefore two other targets. 
     24[http://ports.haiku-files.org HaikuPorts] originally started out as BePorts and was going to cover ports for BeOS, Zeta and Haiku.  That never really happened and we has since switched to just a single platform, Haiku.  There are different ways in which Haiku can be built, the standard release versions are gcc2/gcc4 hybrids, there's also ways to make it gcc2 only, gcc4 only and gcc4/gcc2 hybrid.  Bep files are usually tested to work in the gcc2 and gcc4 only builds, if they are found to only work for gcc4 they should be marked as such using a MESSAGE entry: 
     25MESSAGE="This port only builds with gcc4."
