This is the code base for compiling HeidiSQL on non-Windows platforms, such as Linux. MacOS is probably an option in the future but not yet tried out.
This is the code base for compiling HeidiSQL on Linux and macOS. From v13 onwards, the Windows version
will be compiled from here.
I converted the sources from the master branch, using Lazarus 3.8 and FreePascal 3.2.2. I left away some Windows-only stuff which won't ever work on other platforms, such as some Windows message handlings, and ADO driver usage.
I started the conversion in February 2025, after a short conversation with Alessandro who explained me the advantages of a native Linux version over a Wine app.
Since February 2025 I am migrating the sources from the master branch, using Lazarus and FreePascal. I
left away some Windows-only stuff which won't ever work on other platforms, such as some Windows message
handlings, and ADO driver usage. Therefore, support for MS SQL is being redeveloped via FreeTDS
(formerly ADO), but is not yet fully mature.

### Building
Install Lazarus and FreePascal. Then load the `.lpi` file in the root directory in the Lazarus IDE. Alternatively, use `/usr/bin/lazbuild heidisql.lpi` on the command line.
