I'm writing a program for both Delphi and Lazarus/FreePascal, so I can also reach customers using Linux or Mac OS X. Is there a cross-platform tool that works in both environments too, so I can add multiple languages? I tried GNU Gettext for Delphi and C++ Builder, but it does not compile in Lazarus for Mac OS X. Is there anything compa...
After a lot of experimentations, I found a way to exchange PChar from a FreePascal compiled DLL with a Delphi compiled EXE. I'm in charge of both the DLL and EXE source code but one MUST BE in FreePascal and the other one in Delphi. My solution involves the following methods in the DLL: function GetAString(): PChar; var aString: string;...
I'm trying to use some windows command line tools from within a short Pascal program. To make it easier, I'm writing a function called DoShell which takes a command line string as an argument and returns a record type called ShellResult, with one field for the process's exitcode and one field for the process's output text.

I have a co-worker with a strong background in Ruby that is interested in getting started with Delphi and native development. However, I understand that Turbo Delphi (based on Delphi 2006) is no longer available for download. So...where does that leave him?

Program ConstTest; Const constVar = 1; Begin constVar := 3; WriteLn(constVar); End. It's pretty obvious that the above code will not compile, because it's not right to change the value of a constant. However, following code will compile, and will return "1; 5; 3;", even though the array is a const: Program ConstTest; ...
I need to encrypt some text in my program developed using Lazarus/Freepascal, but I should be able to load them as text and decrypt them, rather than in binary because I need to save them in a TStrings type property. Which algorithm(s) are suited to that? ...

I'm aware of pebongo. It looks like a splendid effort. My issue with it is that it's in a very early stage and the only thing I can see the guy implemented was the BSON I/O lib. MongoDB over the wire is still in progress, according to the info of the project. I haven't tried it myself, but I need a bit more than this. ...
Hey guys, well Marco actually :) Where can I find the initial effort from the person who started fpmake.pp so I can pick up and/or continue. I'm about to get into a very complicated, in terms of building rules, project and I would really like to master the whole thing... OR bend it to my will :) ...
