Welcome to Lazarus
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Lazarus is a Rapid Application Development Tool for FreePascal.
|
|
It comes with the LCL - Lazarus component library, which contains platform
|
|
independent visual components like buttons, windows, checkbox, treeview and
|
|
many, many more. The LCL is platform independent, so you can write an
|
|
application once and then compile for various platforms without changing code.
|
|
|
|
FreePascal at www.freepascal.org is a fast object pascal compiler (and more),
|
|
that runs on more than 20 platforms (linux, windows, BSD, OS/2, DOS, PowerPC,
|
|
and many more).
|
|
|
|
The LCL currently supports linux (gtk, gnome and little bit gtk2) and windows.
