Hello,
I´m not sure why you need GetTickCount, but there is a multiplatform
timer component for Lazarus, it´s called EpikTimer and can probably do
what you want.
Here is it´s documentation:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/EpikTimer
You can ged elapsed time (it uses hardware timer when available or
winapi or linux kernel timer).
To get something similtar to the result of GetTickCount you just need to
do:
Var ET: TEpikTimer;
Begin
ET.Clear;
ET.Start;
and then
TickCount := ET.Elapsed;
This timer is *very* efficient. Nanosecond efficient. Enought to
control PCI cards with it.
