I'm trying to contain myself, but WHY does Lazarus 1 and 1+ even support Win9x/ME anymore? Can't any people who use that just use the existing code forever and backport fixes themselves (e.g. into a separate Win9x branch)? Not even having a working installer does give the term "supported" an unexpected twist.
Speaking for myself, after submitting a patch, I really don't want to be told that Win9x/ME does things differently and that I should correct my patch to incorporate support. I'm not against supporting old platforms, but having to support a version Windows with a very different architecture just doesn't sit well with me.... But perhaps that's just me. > I run it on WinMe (but I don't need the installer, I use trunk via svn). > So it's probably not gonna be an issue. So have you or anybody else on ME tried the installer? Otherwise WinME should be removed from the list as well...
