This spring I revisited the ReactOS and made a VM with QEMU/KVM under Debian. Managed to install and compile some but not all of my projects with the 32-bit Lazarus 3.6 for windows. As I recall it the debugger caused some issues so I turned it off. And for some reason I wasn't successful with 32-bit 4.0 :o

I find ReactOS pretty cool so revived some ancient Delphi programs/games compiled under XP and now also the newer FPC/Lazarus code compiled on Virtual ReactOS. Is available in the XP/ReactOS section on my site if anyone want to try. Should run under ReactOS VM or XP, if anyone still got access to that. I suggest trying the Knight program/game, or Knight's Quest in Elephant Valley. Very modest system requirements  :)

Did you use btrfs or FAT32 (see other postings in this thread)?

As discussed in a different thread I've been experimenting with WINE recently, and (I admit to my surprise) found the debugger fairly solid.

BUT I'm still on Lazarus 2.6 (FPC 3.2.2): the hype relating to later versions has gone over my head.

Had to check. I used whatever was the default at installation. Seems to be FAT32.
