Lazarus is an IDE ( Integrated Development Environment ) and its compiler
is Free Pascal :


http://www.freepascal.org/
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/


When a program is developed in Lazarus , it can directly be compiled in
Windows .
There are a multitude of units for any kind of programming ( Web , Data
base , etc. ) .

Lazarus and FreePascal is available for FreeBSD , Linux , Windows , and
many other operating systems .


A study of the above sites will reveal their capabilities .

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling_for_Win32_under_Linux
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling


I did not use , but cross compiling should be possible by using Wine in
FreeBSD to obtain Windows programs ( Windows versions of Lazarus and Free
Pascal may be used in FreeBSD to generate Windows programs and they may be
executed under Wine in FreeBSD for testing before transferred to Windows :
This means a minimum number of Windows computer(s) may be used for final
testing . ) .




Thank you very much .
