Hello,

sorry for asking such a total newbie question, but I have some (apparently) Delphi code and I my goal is to examine if it is feasible to port this to Mac OS X.

Now, it lists a lot of units, and google is not very helpful. So my question is: Are these standard Delphi units? Third party? Most importantly: Are they somehow available on the Mac?

What is a good place to search for these?

uses
Classes, Sysutils,
U_Global, L_Lockdata, U_Strings, U_RegExpr, L_Wintol, U_Images, U_Stream,
U_Tiff, U_Tiff_Tags, U_Tiff_Global, U_Pixels, L_Mathe, LeanOcr, U_Wininfo;

Thanks

Alex

No.

Third party?

So probably yes.

Most importantly: Are they somehow available on the Mac?

Only if they are general Delphi units, and don't use OS specific features. But unit names like u_wininfo, leanacr and L_wintol don't sound good then

uses Classes,

Standard.

Sysutils,

Standard.

U_Global, L_Lockdata, U_Strings, U_RegExpr, L_Wintol, U_Images, U_Stream, U_Tiff, U_Tiff_Tags, U_Tiff_Global, U_Pixels, L_Mathe, U_Wininfo

Custom.... looks fairly "in house" too. I assume U stands for Unit and L stands for Library (where the L would most likely be Library imports doe a DLL or Shared Object?) but I'm not entirely sure.

LeanOcr;

This looks like it is more likely 3rd party

Now, it lists a lot of units, and google is not very helpful. So my question is: Are these standard Delphi units? Third party? Most importantly: Are they somehow available on the Mac?

Only 2 are standard - the rest are not. It would help greatly if you had more info as to what the code was and where it came from.

If they are straight Pascal with no assembler, they would probably mostly compile under MacOS X... *but* remember you would need or maybe need to replace any libraries refered to also.
