[lazarus] Lazarus on windows 98 runs

[Vincent Snijders]

Hi,

I don't think that my message of this afternoon has reached the mailinglist
so I just send it again.

I have been able to make a running  lazarus executable for windows 98.

The main obstacle to overcome was, that de gtk dlls for win32 don't export
less procedure and functions than the unix libs. I temporarily commented out
calls  these missing functions:
gdk_pixmap_unref
gdk_draw_pixmap
gdk_bitmap_unref

Also I changed
  {$IFDEF MWE_FPC}
     {$IFDEF LINUX}
        LCLLinux,
     {$ELSE}
        Windows,
     {$ENDIF}
  {$ELSE}
     Windows,
  {$ENDIF}
to
  {$IFDEF MWE_FPC}
     LCLLinux,
  {$ELSE}
     Windows,
  {$ENDIF}
in the uses clause of mwcustomedit and made the appropiate changes in the
rest of the unit.
I think this change is a good one because LCLLinux can also be used on win32
to access the winapi (and one define less).

My questions are:
Is lazarus suposed on win32 as well, and if so have are we going to solve
the problems caused by missing exports?
Is LCLLinux going to be an OS-independent inteface to winapi and if so,
shouldn't it get a better name?
