Compile for Linux?

[CelticJasen]

Any way this could be compiled to be used on a Linux system?

For small projects on Linux this typically involves creating a makefile. CMake is popular these days too and works well for larger projects.

@CelticJasen You mean the editor/tracker software? Unfortunately, it won't ever compile on Linux as-is because it was written using Borland C++Builder with Windows as the target platform.

Someone would have to reimplement the whole thing as a cross-platform application. It's possible, but it would take a lot of time and effort ...

Thank you all for answers.
Perhaps, with great effort, the Linux users of the world will find a way. They are quite resourceful.

Ok so, I'm not the developer, but I'm gonna fork this after I port it to Lazarus so it works cross platform. I already have all the forms done.

I have found it works quite well using wine under Linux.

Can confirm, it works great in wine! With that said, wine is bloated if all you're looking to run is a tracker. You kinda have to have a general purpose need for wine first. A flatpak, appimage, or some native compile would definitely be preferred user experience.
