For example, if I simply try to compile I get an error on the InttoIdent call in mwkeycmds.pas. I looked at the code and defined {$DEFINE MWE_COMPILER_2} so that it took the code instead of calling that procedure and it worked fine. Are you doing anything like that?

Shane, I think Sebastian has come up with a way we can get SHEdit working by just implementing the abstract class he is writing. Right now SHEdit inherits from TScrollBox, but we will be changing that to not inherit from anything (I think that is what he said). So I wouldn't spend too much time trying to build all those KCL components. I think with that abstract class, we can just use LCL and FPC code and get it working without all that work. I have been working on getting both SHEdit and mwEdit working. I started working on SHEdit, but I decided to wait on it until Sebastian finished that abstract class. Once he has that done, I think it will be easy to get SHEdit working for us. In the mean time, I started working to get mwEdit to compile with FPC. I am getting close. There are several parts where I am just creating skeleton classes and methods. We will need to write code for these before mwEdit will completely work. But getting it to compile is my first hurdle to overcome. I am keeping track of the classes and methods that we need to get working in order for mwEdit to work. In order to get parts of mwEdit working, I had to add a Registry unit to the LCL and also a Windows unit. The Windows unit is ONLY for compatibility with Delphi. It contains some constants and type definitions and that is all. We need to make sure that nobody puts any M$ Windows API calls in it. I haven't implemented any of the methods in the Registry units because we still need to decide how we are going to implement that in a cross platform manner (meaning, how we will do it in Linux). I checked in the Registry and Windows units to CVS. Between both of these editors, I think we can get one (or both) of them working very soon now. If anyone wants to start working out some way to implement the Registry units so they work in both Windows and Linux, that would be very helpful.
