That only applies to Delphi. :) The brilliant FPC developers managed it just fine. Last year I implemented a Windows Service / Linux Daemon application using FCL's daemonapp.pp unit. It was a 100% non-GUI application, and I used threads and all without issue. Just to be clear, using threads in this case didn't require Synchronize() either - because Synchronize() is purely there for GUI apps, which this wasn't. > The Lazarus team did a great job but needs to draw a line at certain > locations. I don't know what Lazarus does with regards to Service/Daemon apps - my above mentioned application wasn't written with Lazarus (just a text editor and fpc compiler). Do they (Lazarus) introduce a GUI dependency for such applications? That would be stupid if they do.
