  2. Compiling Lazarus

    How do I get Lazarus to compile? I followed the steps in the howto to the letter, and everything compiles fine right up to the make lazarus step. The compile in the…

  3. GTK or XLib or Whatever

    the best would be a component library which can do whatever you want to do (use GTK, GDK, or just GGI for example) GDK cares about the windows, painting stuff etc.; GTK…

    I'm a little confused. No one is saying that using GTK for Lazarus forbids the use of pure Lib functions in specialist functions, are they? How much cross platform…

    Is it possible to get into the convention hall only, without going to the expensive training seminars, and if so, what does it cost? :)
