If Michael Hess already forwarded the following questions/remarks to you please accept my apologies. I read the recent comments about Kylix (use of QT colors and fonts) and maybe (2) hereunder is relevant....The "building fontmatrix" is very suspicious indeed smelling like wine.........wine builds a fontmatrix...too much of a coincidence and wine-applications also tends to swim on linux. I dont know enough about toolkits,,,but it is suspicious.
Otherwise my questions in (1) is personally of urgent need for a different purpose as I am not developing Pascal/Delphi gui's but hard-realtime drivers and industrial process control in Pascal and Ada. For the Pascal work, Linux seems to be void of the functionalities in (1).
It would really be great for programmers like me in the embedded world to have the functionalities in (1) and do all pascal development in Lazarus.
1) When do you anticipate having "step", "step into" , "breakpoints" etc implimented.
Once this is done I can trash Kylix.
2) Congratulations on the speed of Lazarus w.r.t Kylix. Kylix seems to be a Wine port as it swims on the desktop and is slow (ms dll's replaced
) and does that curious "font matrix build" which is probably nothing else than
wine creating a font database I suspect. I done quite a bit of wine porting myself and this looks like wine covered up. Kylix will not last long (against Lazarus) this way ....
Lazarus REALLY impresses me with speed and native
behaviour only (1) is missing which is a nice feature in Kylix.
