So any of them can be installed in theory. I still have FPC 2.6.2 and FPC 2.6.4 installed on my current system. No idea why though! :-) > All that to say that maybe we can keep backward compatibility untill fpc > 2.4.0. Is there really a purpose to still keep such backwards compatibility?

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] What version(s) of FPC is supported
Re-hello. Maybe we could see what is the oldest fpc version still distributed. For example, yesterday I did try to install Lazarus via deb package (because it is the only way). I know, the right not of the box way is to download the deb files from Lazarus repository and install those deb files. But I did the wrong way via internet, using sudo apt-get install fpc then sudo apt-get install lazarus. Huh, the fpc version installed is 2.4.2 and not compatible with sudo apt-get install lazarus. So, as usual, I removed all fpc and lazarus from my pc. All that to say that maybe we can keep backward compatibility untill fpc 2.4.0.

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] What version(s) of FPC is supported
Hello Graeme. I would not be surprised that msegui is still compatible with fpc of his first release in 1999. I dont remember what fpc version was used in that time and dont have old fpc version to test.

[MSEide-MSEgui-talk] What version(s) of FPC is supported
Hi, Anybody know what is the oldest version of FPC that is supported by MSEide+MSEgui. I guess that would be both the msegui framework, as well as the mseide itself. Did Martin was any specific rules regarding this? ie: Only latest FPC release version and greater. Or latest FPC release and the prior stable release? The reason I ask. I see loads of very old IFDEF FPC versions in the msegui code and wondered if one can start cleaning those up at some point.
