Hi guys, I am interesting in developing for Windows Phone 8. It seems to supports native code in C++, so in theory should be possible to have FPC work with it. I am interesting this, I can offer a bounty of 200$ for it, anyone interested?

Interest yes, time not so much... (yet)
Also a first step should be support for Windows RT (aka Metro), then Windows Phone 8 support should be rather easy.

Phone 8 support should be rather easy.
Windows RT is not easy. This is a separate RTL altogether. Not even Embarcadero supports it, to the best of my knowledge.

FPC is more capable of running on all kinds of obscure platforms than Delphi. So while the core part of the RTL will be different and maybe also a bit challenging, some points can be reused from Windows as many functions are available for Windows RT and/or Phone as well.
