fpGUI doesn't have a native Cocoa or Carbon interface yet - one is
planned. But for years OSX came with everything that was needed to run
fpGUI based applications - XQuartz. So for years fpGUI based
applications just ran without problems. XQuartz is a Apple version of
the X server and came standard with OSX.
Note that the alternative is HITheme, which is 64-bit available. With HITheme you have do more work
yourself, which I consider an advantage, as you are less dependent on the (absurdities of) the OS.
With Carbon, Lazarus has to do very strange things internally to make Carbon work with the Lazarus
Win32 based design of windows and controls.
But as with everything Apple does (which is so G*d damn stupid), they
keep on reducing functionality and removing all the useful features from
the OS to dumb it down more and more - because all consumers are dumb
asses right. ;-)
Fully agreed. Apple has become a fashion shop, where the lastest winter of summer fashion
collection deprecates all the crap they released the seasson before. So that we all have to buy new
gadgets and rewrite all our software,
