They announced the ability to run ELF binaries on Windows. Basically an advanced/improved version of their POSIX/Unix subsystem that they had from NT times till Windows 8 (exclusive if I remember correctly). Unlike then the binaries now run as is (back then one needed to compile them from source with an adjusted gcc, but it worked rather nicely :) ) Regards, Sven -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
