Thanks a lot, as a non-programmer, I did not take the name mangling of c++ in account. Your explanation is well understandable and clear, as I have written c++ programs with overloading. Now I remember from my C++ book that the compiler distinguishes functions by the types used in its declaration. Also thanks for your compilation and linking options as well as the syntax change. BTW, I am planning to move to a new distro, slackware 7.1. GPC is not included, so I have to build it from source. Do you recommend to install ("patch") it on top of gcc or egcs. egcs is standard for slack, but if I am meddling around already, why not change this also. I am not certain yet if the work on this subject will continue for me, we are just looking for possibilities.
Do you have any specific reason for choosing Qt? Gtk might be easier to use with Pascal. I know that the FreePascal people already have Pascal units for the Gtk libraries. You might be able to use thoseas a starting point.
Kylix (Delphi for Linux) will be in QT.
But if you do commercial programming with GPC and QT, you must pay licenses!!!
That's not quite true; if your program is not open source, you need to buy a license. You're welcome to sell an open source product created with Qt/X11 Free Edition.
