<div>I sucessfully got I think a simple trial going on Lazarus under Win32 a year ago, then simply recompiled it under a Linux distro and it worked out of the box! I did not have the opening to try it under Mac.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I really really love that concept - isn't the Delphi roadmap promising something similar?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It does not feel as smooth as Delphi at all - but I like the way it has grown since I last looked. I know what you mean "I didn't like the Lazarus IDE much " it looks the same sometimes but does not "feel" the same when you go to do things - but then it is different any way.<br>
</div>
<div>I like the standard set of controls, quite advanced from what I actually expected, and it looks like they've had native MySql and PostGres support quite early on.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Its sort of like a counsin you've never met before, who was bought up differently to yourself, acts a bit differently, but has a family resembelance none the less.</div>

for simple app, and I mean simple, was just crazy.<br>Yeah, I used UPXG for Linux to solve it a little, but the one think I like<br>about CrossKylix is that it runs un Delphi so you have a familiar IDE.<br>If I want to write a Mac app. I can just use Mono now.<br>
