Kylix was such a failure! I remember being excited about it and then realized how wrong everything was: starting from licensing to Wine runtime.

- benibela 5y agoUsing Wine sounds perfect Delphi's VCL is tied to much to the Windows API to work without it. Even Lazarus implements a lot of Windows API like functions. E.g. you call one of these functions on Linux and it converts it to a corresponding gtk/qt function call: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/blob/main/lcl/include/winapih.inc https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/blob/mai... But it is all less reliable because the Lazarus community is much smaller than the Wine community
