I am yet to see that in reality! [excluding all but he most basic "Hello World" programs] I've never come across a real-world Delphi project that can simply be opened in Lazarus IDE and compiles 100% correctly first time. As proof of that, it would also explain why Lazarus IDE includes the "Tools -> Delphi conversion" set of menu items, which does a one-way conversion (thus you can't go back to Delphi). Saying that, yes it is partly possible to have a single project that is compilable in both Delphi and Lazarus, but it requires significant amounts of changes and compromises. I don't see any benefit in having dual compiler and dual toolkit support in a single project. > As an example , I want to convert my program to fpGUI .

And you think moving to C with a totally different GUI toolkit is any easier? I seriously doubt that. I think it is pretty straight forward to convert a Lazarus project to fpGUI - I've done it many times with components and whole applications. It's not a 5 minute job, but will be significantly less effort that moving to C/C++ and using GTK, Qt or wxWidgets etc. > was limited to Linux .

Much more so than LCL vs fpGUI.
