See the documents in the wiki for people coming from Delphi.

Hi

I am not sure.
There are several files to have be compiled and work together.
first I wanted to convert ist separatly but it did not work, so I have made a package and tried it again but it did not work either.
The only thing that has worked, was converting dfm file to lfm file.
But no chance by .pas file and I am wondering if it is passible at all.

I think it is possible, but if all you can say, that is doesn't work, then I cannot help you.

Yes, that is clear information. Now I can see what doesn't work and what goes wrong.

AFAIK, wintypes is replaced by windows unit in later delphi version. If you compile for windows, you can try to replace it by the windows unit of fpc.

If you want to be able to target other Lazarus targets later (Linux, Mac OS X), then you should use the LCLIntf and/or the LCLType unit.

In the place where the fpc RTL units are installed. If you don't know, just replace wintypes with windows and compile.

It seems to be many of them.
Now comes the message that can not find the unit WinProcs.
should it be also replaced ?

Yes. Really, these units are from 16 bits windows time, IIRC. I hope it did compile with Delphi 4...

See IIRC.

The units wintypes and winprocs both have been replaced with the windows unit (since Delphi 2 or Delphi 3).
