I tried to compile it using Free Pascal and fix it, however I am constantly stuck with all the Kylix-specific parts. I even tried installing actual Kylix just to see if it was my fault, but that's apparently notoriously hard to install on modern distros, so I gave up. I think it needs a rewrite, at least a partial one. I don't know how good Kylix compatibility is, but I don't have much faith as is. Also, a lot of apps seem to be lost to time, so if someone dares to embark on this journey, they'd have to remake said apps, at which point you could just rewrite everything and possibly port it to FP or move away from X11 to Wayland. -- Ștefan-Iulian Alecu _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
