My goal IS to use only Lazarus.
But there's a problem: the conversion from Delphi to Lazarus may take
months, and I can't freeze my Delphi project in the meanwhile - it's
deployed in several customers. Right now the project runs on Linux
under Wine - with minor interface glitches. In the last 6 months, I
have been changing the Delphi project in order to get it closer to
Lazarus' features, and added a lot of {$IFDEF}'s. ALL third-party
components were replaced for standard ones - even when it demanded a
lot of coding to accomplish the extra functionalities.
I'm documenting this effort in http://port2laz.blogspot.com (in english).
At the moment, after a dozen failed attempts of conversion, I'm
considering to start a new project on Lazarus from scratch, make the
persistence framework work (it's almost there, the 200+ classes are
already ported and {$IFDEF}'ed) and then add the 50+ forms one by one.
Of course, this would take a lot of time, but at least I can control
which form is changed in the original Delphi project and replicate
(ugh!) the updates in the Lazarus' one.
Regarding Andreas' comments, I agree that the linking time is huge and
that the debug is weak. But... if these are the only problems, it's
good enough to me. :-)
