There is definitely a demand for this. With Lazarus IDE this is a nightmare - just too many settings to fiddle with. MSEide is *much* better at this. With it's different build modes and user defined macro's it is rather easy to accomplish. fpGUI's IDE (not available to the public yet), this is also available in much the same way as MSEide. With one mouse click I can now build for Linux 32, or Linux 64, or Windows 32, or Windows ME. > apps from long ago that are one binary that runs under several OS'... one > executable that runs natively on OS/2 and on DOS... i believe that binary There is something called FatELF executables (Google it for more information). But this allows you to inject various platforms executable into one "fat" executable. Similar type of thing as the Universal Binary idea from Apple. As an example of how well FatELF works, they make a 32 & 64 bit Ubuntu distribution. One CD supporting both platforms. I wonder if FPC could be modified to generate such executables. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
