  1. Make a copy of the Delphi files you want to convert in a different directory +since MakePasX will alter the source code files.

  2. Use the MakePasX utility to make the Delphi project file (.dpr) and form code files (.pas) cross-platform. This is a one-time conversion that results -in a set of source files that can be compiled by both Delphi and Lazarus.

  3. Use the DfmToLfm utility to create Lazarus form files (.lfm) from the Delphi -form files (.dfm).

  4. Use the Lazarus lazres utility to create the Lazarus resource file (.lrs) -from the form file (.lfm) Repeat steps 2 and 3 whenever you make changes -to the Delphi form files. If your project has a number of forms, run these -utilities for each form in a batch or shell file to automate the conversion.

  5. Compile the resulting files with Lazarus on Windows +in a set of source files that can be compiled by both Delphi and Lazarus. +Examples:

    +  makepasx myprogram.dpr
    +  makepasx myform.pas

    +MakePasX tries to insert the conditionals needed to compile with Lazarus, while +retaining compatibility with Delphi. After converting you can test to see that +the files can still be compiled by Delphi. You may have to make minor manual adjustments +if the converter couldn't figure out your code. Also, you can look at the source +code of the converter to see what it's doing.

    + +

  6. Use the DfmToLfm utility to create a Lazarus form file (.lfm) from each Delphi +form file (.dfm). Example:

    +  dfmtolfm myform.dfm

    +This creates an .lfm file that should be compatible with Lazarus. With Linux you +can use the -d switch to delete the font names from the .lfm file. This generally +makes for a better look on Linux, which doesn't have the same TrueType fonts that +Windows and OS X have. Default fonts will be substituted at runtime. With Windows +you can use the -p switch to add a parent's font to controls with no font, +which generally makes for a better look on Windows.

    +Important! Make sure your .dfm files are text files. If not, save them as text +files with Delphi before attempting to convert them.

    + +

  7. Use the Lazarus LazRes utility to create a Lazarus resource file (.lrs) +from each form file (.lfm). Example:

    +  lazres myform.lrs myform.lfm

    +Note: The lazres source code is located in the Lazarus tools folder. Open +project file lazres.lpi in Lazarus and compile it in the IDE.

    + +

  8. Repeat steps 3 and 4 whenever you make changes to the Delphi form files. +If your project has a number of forms, run DfmToLfm and LazRes +for each form in a batch or shell file to automate the conversion.

    + +

  9. Open the converted .dpr file with Lazarus and allow it to create a project +file (.lpi), then compile the project with Lazarus to test the converted code and form files.
