I will submit a crumby KOL hello world zip asap. (next goal is to try an MCK app

kol)
Listen, 26KB for complete a hello world windows GUI program is not bad at all.
Where I see a big problem is lazarus not offering small EXE sizes.. since a lot
of
people do judge an exe by it's size.
(not so much worry in GnuLinux... I don't mind shipping a 1MB linux app...since
most
Linux apps are usually KDE Python bloatware anyway)
So until the LCL is smartlinked better or placed into a library file, I think
if KOL
was avail in the mean time as a temporary solution.. this would solve a lot of
problems temporarily... in a quick and dirty manner (took me only 1 hour to get
KOL
working today...whereas LCL linked smart may take us a year).
Maybe we'll get around to making IDE for KOL/freepascal, or Lazarus could be
hacked to
use KOL as an option. People might be able to cheat in the mean time by
building their
KOL/MCK applications
inside delphi, then compiling with freepascal (since KOL does not use DFM files,
rather pure "on the fly" component creation code just hidden inside include
files).
If you don't want to use the form designer, Lazarus is a capable code
editor with good support for include files for KOL/freepascal projects
too. Just use a program or custom program in Lazarus.
