I will speak for myself and what I want...

I dont know who Charlie is...but IMO... If there was 1 language that has "everything" I need to build an app, be it CLI based but *also* GUI (without f'in around and learning MUI stuff), I would be for it. Can FreePascal be that? Is it powerful enough to access SQLite databases, has the ability for some graphics stuff (charts or what have you)..something someone can go to *one* location to do all development..1 tool.

If so, is all we need the resource support, then the LCL? If yes...tell me..what will it take to make this happen? PM is ok.

I guess you could be fine with Hollywood. Can do all you want. Programs can use MUI GUI (basic MUI GUI is really simple to do, but more advanced GUIs require a bit more effort of course) , be console only, use a broad set of graphic primitives, has an sqlite extension and so forth.

I'll look into it. I wouldnt mind something thats portable which can also run on Linux with some editing etc.

Keeping the code compatible for compiling Linux or Windows versions is not free of little traps but rather easy. Sure, if you use MUI for your MorphOS version, then quite some changes are required to make a Linux or Windows version. That's the reason I haven't used MUI much yet with Hollywood, but for my latest project I will probably use a MUI GUI for MorphOS.

Thats the reason I'm on porting LCL, if it is working you do not have to care about different platforms. It's just working.

For example: Compiled from the same source, without a single IFDEF needed. Linux, Windows(Wine) and AROS

That is what I call a good wrapper.

When you have LCL done for MorphOS please reply here or somewhere on MorphOS... I'm very interested.

What is the problem? what you tried, what message you got?

(Sorry I'm not looking to this forum frequently)
