Yes, try Lazarus, a multiplatform, open source, Delphi close. Here are a
few links:
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Lazarus_0.9.7.PNG
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_%28software%29
Lazarus IDE is Delphi 7 like and runs on Linux, Windows (95 or later),
FreeBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X.
With Lazarus you write only one software and then you can recompile it
with little modification for all this widgetsets:
Windows 32-bits native
Gtk1 (Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD)
Gtk2
Gnome
Carbon (Mac OS X)
And very soon also:
Qt
Windows CE (For PocketPC and SmartPhones)
In the long term future also:
PalmOS
Also, it is compatible with VCL, so you can recompile your existing VCL
software. After adapting the code you can get the same software to
compile with Lazarus and Delphi. Here is one software that can be
compiled with both:
http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/
More then 160.000 downloads, so it's really well tested.

| Hi Felipe,
I'd give Lazarus a try, looks promising. spent sometime in OS X cocoa
programming, I found the desktop that is closer to the look of OS X is
GNome, any good tool that you can recommend to program in GNOME? no need to
be Pascal/kylix compatible.

A small question about licensing.
I see that this library is licensed under LGPL which in
my understanding do not allow static linking to a commercial
application. This meens that I need to create a number of DLLs
and dynamically link to them on run time for my commercial software.
If I am not misguided then this meens that I can't actually use this.
Thank you for any comments in advanced.
Regards
Yannis.
