Hi,
I have been able to make a running lazarus executable for windows 98. The main obstacle to overcome was, that de gtk dlls for win32 don't export less procedure and functions than the unix libs. I temporarily commented out calls these missing functions:
gdk_pixmap_unref
gdk_draw_pixmap
gdk_bitmap_unref

Also I changed

  {$IFDEF MWE_FPC}
     {$IFDEF LINUX}
        LCLLinux,
     {$ELSE}
        Windows,
     {$ENDIF}
  {$ELSE}
     Windows,
  {$ENDIF}

to

  {$IFDEF MWE_FPC}
     LCLLinux,
  {$ELSE}
     Windows,
  {$ENDIF}

in the uses clause of mwcustomedit and made the appropiate changes in the rest of the unit.
I think this change is a good one because LCLLinux can also be used on win32 to access the winapi (and one define less).

My questions are:
Is lazarus suposed on win32 as well, and if so have are we going to solve the problems caused by missing exports?
Is LCLLinux going to be an OS-independent inteface to winapi and if so, shouldn't it get a better name?
