How I use Linux to write software for multiple target platforms – Kris Kamil Jacewicz – Google+
WINE has come a long way. Many things do not have a native look and feel, but so do many Delphi FMX or Lazarus LCL applications.
In fact I use quite a few tools (including Mikrotik WinBox) through Wine on Mac OS and it runs a lot more stable than quite a few of the FMX applications I’ve tried and ditched.
So for business applications not requiring a platform specific look and feel this indeed is quite acceptable direction to follow.

The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff

Isn’t there a fairly “common” GUI-layer for FPC/Lazarus that is sort of cross-platform too? The most confusing thing for me with FPC (I don’t use Lazarus) is figuring out (seriously) which units I need to include to pull in the OS API headers for stuff that isn’t covered by the RTL. SO frustrating and SO time consuming.

FPC will get higher on my research list when their generics support becomes better.
