Description Samir van de Sand 2004-12-23 11:00:15 UTC

Lazarus is the class libraries for Free Pascal that emulate Delphi. Free Pascal is a GPL'ed compiler that runs on Linux, Win32, OS/2, 68K and more. Free Pascal is designed to be able to understand and compile Delphi syntax, which is of course OOP. Lazarus is the part of the missing puzzle that will allow you to develop Delphi like programs in all of the above platforms. Unlike Java which strives to be a write once run anywhere, Lazarus and Free Pascal strives for write once compile anywhere. Since the exact same compiler is available on all of the above platforms it means you don't need to do any recoding to produce identical products for different platforms.


Unfortunately I'm not able to compile this program myself of some "GLIB not found" error. If you have the same problem, have a look at the FAQ on the homepage, where this error is described. You may solve this error by using an another version of the freepascal compiler (which isn't in portage, so you might have to add yet another package)
