I installed fpc for linux today, but i do seem to be able to compile delphi stile applications with it. For example i use

var
varname: type = 1;

There must be a way as the same kind of struct is used in dglopengl.

Could someone give me a quick boost into fpc compiling delphi style applications?

Also i get a complaint about linking ld-linux.so? I do not know why it is needed. The lib is available though.

To compile in delphi compatibility mode, you have to set certain switches. If i remember correctly -sd. In case you did not do that

i did use the -Sd (and even the -S2) swich, if i do not i get lots and lots more errors.... Thanks anyway.

I haven't used fp in a while but there were quite a few little things that did not work like in delphi, that' why i stoped using it. Imho they would better fix those first than add yet another platform.

The ld stuff. I got the errors too when I started using FreePascal on Linux. I've put the solutions online:

You should add {$mode Delphi} to each file if you want to use Delphi mode.

I downloaded fpc 1.94 and now things compile better.
Also i installed glib-devel now i do not have the ld linking error anymore.

New is that on executing ld is complaining about pointers not being valid anymore and refers to some c code?

I got it solved, it needed {$LinkLib c}.

A new kylix and fpc example is available for download with tutorial #13 on http://www.noeska.com/doal .
