jarto:
Me and Sebastian Zierer have been working on improving TurboPower LockBox2 to make it work also on 64 bit platforms. Sebastian has taken care of the new Delphi platforms and I've been working on FPC. As a result we should have a version that works on pretty much any Delphi, Kylix and FPC on Windows, Linux and Mac and both 32 and 64 bits.

Latest sources are at: https://github.com/jarto/lockbox2

Before we can do an official release, we'd like to know how many platforms we actually do support. So if you use FPC/Lazarus on FreeBSD or Mac and you'd be interested to do a simple test, please download the latest code and try something like:

uses ...., LbRsa;
...
with TLbRSA.Create(nil) do begin
KeySize:=aks1024;
GenerateKeyPair;
Free;
end;

Please let me know if it compiles or if there are any errors.

I tried to compile the exact example code you posted. I used 64-bit FreeBSD 9.1 and FPC 2.6.3. It seems LbRSA.pas is referencing the Windows unit, even though I am using the FreeBSD platform. I had a quick look, and it seems your LockBox.inc file is wrong. I would wrap all the Delphi related defines and checks in a {$IFNDEF FPC} block. The problem below was caused by line 49 and line 126 in LockBox.inc.

...then after fixing the LockBox.inc file for FPC and FreeBSD, I still got a compiler error in the LbRandom.pas unit

I forked your repository on Github and made some commits fixing compilation issues under FreeBSD. I sent you a pull request.
