lazarus is still work in progress, there is currently no IDE available.

We don't compile the .dfm's.  Currently our IDE is under construction so it's not quite ready to compile the .dfm's for you.  What you can do is copy the code over to linux and compile it.  It'll compile but you have to do certain things that the IDE would normally do for you like auto CREATEing the components, assigning Events (e.g. OnCreate := FORMCREATE) etc.

We would be happy to accept your help in finishing the IDE on linux though if interested.

I am creating Delphi programs on Windows. I want to create a Linux version of some of them. Therefore, I tried to use Lazarus.

Let me first tell you what I did. On Windows I compiled with the command line version ppc383.exe (download Lazarus Installer 4.3Meg). I found a lot of problems and errors:
- No compilation of *.dfm
- Missing units Message, ExtCrtls ...
- Missings classes TImage ...
- Positioning errors in TMenuBar, TEdit, TMemo ...
- Missing Features (Font in TForm ...)
- and so on
Netherless, it was possible to produce a Lazarus program running on Windows. Then I tried to download a Lazarus compiler for Linux. (alternative download Lazarus LCL and IDE code 200kb). The requested URL /~vbman/lazarus.zip was not found on the server.

Therefore, I would be glad, if you could tell me, what to do for creating a Linux version of a Delphi program. For example, I never saw any "real" Lazarus IDE.
