Delphi to Freepascal conversion help wanted
« on: October 19, 2023, 03:59:00 pm »
I have an API server application written in Delphi 10 that I'd like to convert to Freepascal (FP) using their conversion too described here: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Code_Conversion_Guide#Conversion_problems_and_solutions

The Delphi application has about 200 .pas files. It has no UI and uses no special Delphi 3rd party component sets other than UIB to connect to a Firebird Db, PAX Compiler and kbmMemTable all of which are compatible with FP.

Any help would be much appreciated - paid of course  :D

Lazarus has an automatic Delphi-to-Lazarus converter: menu "Tools" > "Delphi Conversion" > "Convert Delphi Project to Lazarus Project". Although the converter creates backups of the original files I'd strongly recommend that you work only in a copy of the Delphi project folder - there is some chance that you might select incorrect options for the converter and you'd have to start all over.
