Hi Tomas,
I don't know much about KOL, but if I understand it correctly, it's a
framework (GUI library if you like) allowing the programmer to use
Pascal classes for the various GUI elements. Implementation of these
classes uses then the native API calls provided by the particular
platform (Win32 or WinCE in your case). In other words, if using KOL,
you don't use the API calls directly at all. In any case, you don't
need to care about whether the API calls are running on an x86 or ARM
CPU, this is the job of FPC to generate proper binary code for the
requested CPU (see notes about cross-compilation above).
thanks for your explanation, but that's not what I needed to know
I know KOL uses api calls (used it years ago), but I prefer to create my
forms, buttons etc. directly with api calls myself to keep the exe size as
small as possible.
My problem is: how should I write api call's for a different target platform
, how are they interpreted by the crosscompiler, C-style or pascal-style...?
thanks,
Paul
PS: my Mac installation keeps giving me a headache.
After removing and installing, adding all folders manually, I got it running
and could even run a small program.
Next day, I get a OS-message that Lazarus is not a regular mac application
and is now blocked (OS X 10.5)
