[lazarus] GTK GUI Apps with Lazarus for windows?
Could I build an application that uses GTK libraries to get GUI GTK on Windows? I mean: Till now I tryed to develop GUI win 32 Apps with Win32 Widgetset, with great difficulty on portability matters. I think that if I exclude GDI API calls and use the GTK library, my program will be more portable on linux... someone can understand what I mean? hi tiziano ### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.

RE: [lazarus] GTK GUI Apps with Lazarus for windows?
thanks for your kind advise. Please, another question for you: I'm writing an article about FPC/Lazarus for a local italian Linux User Group in order to bring the attention on this project, that here is not so well known. I just have the list of FPC people, but not the Lazarus people names. I just see that you and Mattias Gaertner are the most active people, could you give me a breaf history of how Lazarus born? thanks tiziano I think I understand what you mean, but win32 is the best solution for windows and gtk1 (atm) the best option for linux. Gtk2 might compile and run on windows too, but has critical bugs. gtk1 won't compile on win32 (and that won't be fixed). But using the gtk2 won't make your application more portable, the LCL is supposed to be your portability layer. Excluding GDI API calls will help portability, of course.
