[fpc-pascal] development with mac os / cross platform

[Harald Lapp]

hello,
i'm rather new to this list and i've a question regarding freepascal
development with mac os x. i would like to know, if anyone activly 
develops gui applications with osx or if it's anyhow possible to do
so and if so, what gui toolkits there are available that provide 
language bindings for freepascal.

i would also like to know if anybody succesful develops cross 
platform gui applications for windows and linux (and maybe osx). 
are there any interesting articles/hints i can find somewhere in 
the web?

thanks,
regards
harald

Apple's universal interfaces have Pascal bindings. They allow you to 
program using the Carbon interface. See 
http://www.freepascal.org/xcode.html for more information.

That is harder. Two possibilities are WxWindows (also works under Mac 
OS X, but I don't know about Pascal bindings) and gtk (only works under 
X11 under Mac OS X), but I doubt you will be able to write one 
interface which looks native for all platforms, regardless of which 
toolkit you use.

Gtk also runs natively on Mac OS X, see
 in beta stage
 under development
 overview

And what about Lazarus ?

Yes, it should work for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X (under X11).

The latter should be considered beta
, and might not compile at the moment, but I have tried it previously and
at least it is possible to make hello world style GUI programs.

See www.lazarus.freepascal.org.

A carbon version is planned but not much work has been done on that atm.

Lazarus only supports gtk and win32 currently, so you end up in the  
same situation as above.

before and my teach didnt explain anything...
i would appreciate it if sombody could help me

I recommend that you visit a library (maybe there is one at your school)
and  look for introductionary pascal programming books.
