It's not about "is perfectly possible", it is how LCL functions. The LCL requires a underlying toolkit, and the big three are Qt, GTK and Win32.

Correct, both LCL-CustomDrawn and LCL-fpGUI widgetsets are still incomplete - CustomDrawn more so that LCL-fpGUI (from my last tests about 2 weeks ago). That doesn't mean they can't handle large scale applications - they can, but those LCL widgetset interfaces need to be completed first. Just like LCL-GTK3 is not complete yet. Anyway, Fred's idea of a Free Pascal oriented FreeBSD distro is a brilliant idea. It allows you to setup a fully functional development environment in a matter of minutes, that would otherwise have taken hours.
