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.

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.

### 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.
