Hello, Kevin!
If I compile my programs in GNU Pascal will they work directly (i.e does GNU Pascal convert all the calls to XWindows calls) or will they have to be run via the Linux filter Wine ?
As far as WinCRT and Strings are concerned, they will work directly. For the other TPW 1.5 units we do not have replacements yet. (Help welcome.)
If you call the WinAPI directly, your program can be run under Linux using the Wine library.
The other possibility is how easy would it be to convert my current programs to Linux/Xwindows programs making use of your Linux libraries ?
You can use any library written for GNU C just by translating some header files into Pascal. The GPC FAQ list (http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/gpc-faq.html) explains how to do that. Furthermore, our standard units can serve as examples.
Thankyou for your help, I have only found out about GNU Pascal today and am very pleased that someone is producing such a language & compiler.
:-) I hope that you won't be disappointed ...
Greetings,
Peter
