But they can stay with a old TC version
as there are no new functions needed on such environments.
I wholeheartedly agree and i don't want to spoil your soup.
But, well, i will spoil your soup: Even Intel could not get rid of the dreaded ancient A20 gate. It is still there in some form in current chip-sets. That should tell us something... :cry:

So, was TC ported to Lazarus in the end?
I would like to switch to Lazarus too.

Why should I? The Lazarus version is much larger.

To create a Linux version ! :D

(And Mac too for that matter)

Porting 32-bit TC to Lazarus has no any sense, because 64-bit TC is already ported to Lazarus. Porting to Linux/Mac is hard because TC uses many Windows API calls, which should all be replaced with Linux/Mac library calls.

Really? Do you mean that 64-bit TC is written in Lazarus or is it a special version?

I agree about 32-bit, my comments was aimed a Lazarus in general.

BTW, the best TC clone for Linux is in my opinion Double Commander. It is very close.

Yes, I mean that any 64-bit TC is compiled with Lazarus. :)

That's not the only problem - TC uses a lot of plugins, and they are all Windows DLLs. They couldn't be used by a native Linux version.
