| PackageDescription | Lazarus Components Library - LCL dependency package
Lazarus is an IDE to create (graphical and console) applications with Free
Pascal, the (L)GPLed Pascal and Object Pascal compiler that runs on
Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and more.
.
Lazarus is the missing part of the puzzle that will allow you to develop
programs for all of the above platforms in a Delphi-like environment.
The IDE is a RAD tool that includes a form designer.
.
Unlike Java's "write once, run anywhere" motto, Lazarus and Free Pascal
strive for "write once, compile anywhere". Since the exact same compiler
is available on all of the above platforms you don't need to do any recoding
to produce identical products for different platforms.
.
In short, Lazarus is a free RAD tool for Free Pascal using its Lazarus
Component Library (LCL).
.
This dependency package always depends on the latest available version of
the metapackage installing the full LCL and components. |
