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...

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

@perk: This may be the place to start;

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

Cheers,

when you start a new project, is there an option for Apache DSO? If so, I'ma be adownloadin my ass off...

[jammaster82]

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 machine "Kylix Ready."

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.
