Just installed lazarus free pascal for

linux

 /gnome..

Any One ever use this?  Something seems familliar about it..

Will it compile

Apache

  shared objects? 

This would be a monsterously huge - if I could take Kylix code, (no GUI at all) and recompile in Lazerus and it would work in a contemporary *nix environment, I am sporting MAJOR wood...

We shall seee... it didnt install right away
out of the synaptic package manager, i went
straight to the site, which is kind of confusing
but finally got this to compile after adding the
free pascal src .deb something or another from their site
they claim to upon completion be 100% delphi compatible
and now currently uses delphi object pascal as the language:

evidently lazarus was the raising of the dead from the formerly
retired delphi clone project Megido.  Lazarus was started in '99

im outta eyeballs for today but i got it all loaded and this to compile to whet yer whistle: (Tparser tomorrow//)

I'm a pascal/delphi/kylix savant in reverse but this sure as hell looks interesting at first glance;

"Kylix CLX tries to be QT compatible." are they talking about Trolltech QT ??

@@Perk I have super sweet upload bandwidth 250kup+
every time vnc is damn near llike being there ..im about
half a mile as the wire flies to the cox fiber trunk its
insane how fast it goes here.  I could provide you with
a vnc password (you have the ip right) if you wanted to
mangle, i also have

apache

  and

php

  installed blah blah

pcanywhere is available but wouldnt answer the session
even though it said it installed and was waiting.

when you start a new project, is there an option for

Apache

  DSO? If so, I'ma be adownloadin my ass off...

well... maybe if you could code
it just the right way? 


im reading here on this now.. Some people have done
it with kylix from what i hear, is this the ISAPI lib
dream?

I wrote a simple TServerSocket application that answered
port 80 and parsed the Get or Post then handed me
an event to handle where i could even do an application.processmessages()
and go do anything i want... im gonna try to convert it to lazarus,
theres a wizard for just that in one of the menus..

i was proud to say it survived the nimda DOS attacks with simple delphi 5
exception handling when the MS IIS server did not...

It can certainly be done with Kylix, that's how my old retail frameworks are coded.

There is a different set of headers, defines and such that have to be included when coding for

Apache

 ... I've never looked at the linkage - I'll bet it's pretty straigthforward, but that's a longer task than I want to tackle. I'm migrating everything to

PHP

 /JS/

Ajax

  in any case, but I'd LOVE to be in an open source Pascal compiler that would run on a contemporary *nix install rather than the kind of backward stuff I have to do to get a

mac

 hine "Kylix Ready."

You mean like installing Fedora Core 6? or what i was
really wanting to try out Kylix..

The last supported *nix was RH8. There are hacks to make it work with RH9, which is what I do.  :-

It also worked with a couple other older distros, but I don't remember which.
