I checked the web site. skyos seems to have a gtk port, that is a good
thing. Does fpc run on skyos? If not, fpc (www.freepascal.org) has to
be ported to skyos,  before lazarus can be ported.

Looks like a nice OS. I'll have to try it someday

FPC 2.0.0 was completely ported to SkyOS. Perhaps someone would like
to port Lazarus to SkyOS. That would be very nice!

Unfortunaltely the diffs for the port never got it to SVN.
We need those changes so we can generate a Makefile supporting SkyOS.
Further whith those changes we can keep it uptodate.
Please ask Robert if he will provide the changes to the FPC team.

Someone on the SkyOS forums gave me this link.

SkyOs is not a free OS, and not Open source,  may ReactOS
(www.reactos.org) is a better choice.
Reactos is compatible with Windows Xp/2000

You know, a kernel doesn't have to be open source to develop for ir.
There is a very good SDK that contains everything you need. And if you
run into missing functions, Robert will be happy to add it.

And if you didn't notice, ReactOS is having some legal trouble with
their open source and will be auditing big parts of the code. This
might slow dowd their development.

besides ReactOS is win2000 compatible, so there isn't much to be done
for.
