Well, being a "wierd" Delphi guy, I hope I provided at least some rationale for the desire to see some kind of "CrossFPC" utility in my previous response. I miss my addins in Lazarus. Call me lazy, I don't care. I'll use any tool that means I write one less line of code or helps me write it faster. I'm more productive in Delphi, simple as that. But I do all my regular computing in OS X, and working on learning how to develop in it as well, so Lazarus is of very keen interest to me. Downloaded QT 4.5 last night and will follow the Lazarus OS X QT version much more closely now. I'd offer to help, but I'm potentially the worst C++ developer in the history of mankind...
I agree with the second part per my email on the same topic. Unless they've done way more than I expect a complex app will feel handcuffed quickly. -Ron On Mar 31, 2009, at 12:02 AM, Graeme Geldenhuys wrote: > On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 7:59 AM, Bee <bee.ogra...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Everyone seemed to be surprise and happy.
