[Lazarus] Mac OS X : Loading custom cursors at runtime....

[Dominique Louis]

Hi,

I'm organizing a team attending Health Jam Seattle
April 18-20

    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Health_Jam

We will be porting the VA's VistA software frontends
to Lazarus/Free Pascal.  VistA is the IT infrastructure
that runs the VA's hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics.
It includes a complete Electronic Medical Record System.

We are hoping some Lazarus/Free Pascal developers will join us.

We hope to have gotten past compilation issues by the
HealthJam, and be focusing on the necessary VCL
components missing from LCL.  But we may still
be fighting compilation issues.

Been resisting the urge trying to extract the VCL calls
from the code.  Been hoping to get through the compilations
and get the linker or somthing to give me a count.

Folks who are familiar with the CPRS code to a quick look at:

    http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Components

And noticed TFrame and TRichEdit are missing.
There's almost certainly more.

I made a couple stabs at converting to Lazarus.

Most recent on a Ubuntu box using the testing repos

    lazarus 0.9.24 beta 5/11/07
    free pascal  2.2.0-1

Getting "safecall" errors at compile time.  I see stuff in the
bug tracker about "safecall" runtime issues not resolve till
2.3.1

So next thing I need to do is find the right vintage of Lazarus/Free Pascal.
