I am switching from Delphi7-BDS2006 on Windows to FPC-Lazarus on
Windows with the aim of making cross-platform programs.
I also want to make one program run on an embedded ARM board running
linux for ARM.
So I have read a lot of the discussions here and asked questions about
setting up the environment etc.
One thing that bothers me is that I don't understand the term
"widget", which gets mentioned very often when discussion is about
screen output and the like....
What is a "widget" and how does it relate to my aim of making a
cross-platform program?
It's not so much "widgets" as "widget set", and it refers to whether the
intermediate layer between your program is based on Windows, Qt, GTK (1
or 2) etc.
