[lazarus] Need opinion

[Baeseman, Cliff]

I actually just about have Win32 working now with the stuff that we have. I
was having a problem or two last night with the event stuff but I belive I
should have that working tonight. Jeff has to pass a dart tonight so I will
continue to refine that this evening and pass that off. He can then take
what I gave him and run with it or do something different("up to him")..

We are going to need winproc for both this and the QT engine. Soon as I pass
some clean code to Jeff I am going to go back into Linux and finish the QT
engine.

This will give everyone  Linux GTK, Linux QT, Win GTK, Win Native, Win QT
("not free")..

What more could you ask for?. Don't answer that ;)...  

Cliff

But windows.pp already exists for Windows. Thus you must make a replacement
file for linux only,
and it should be compatible with the existing win32 windows.pp

So any lazarus app compiles both on windows and linux, with a minimal
overhead...
Although I think that on the level of lazarus (LCL) there should NEVER be a
dependence on Windows or Linux. Just GTK/Qt/win32 for the low-level gui
calls
and sysutils or low-level classes for all other stuff.
