For me, switching LARGE projects to another language, even with IA aid, it's technically and economically impractical. Even switching from 'classic C++' to 'modern c++' requires work. Moreover, after you move to another framework/language using IA you have to audit that conversion. I've have used VCL and FMX in small applications, they are technically very good, but you'll depend on Borland/Embarcadero compilers. QT and wxWidgets are more open. wxWidgets was also recommended by the same Borland as...
Support for the Clang-based Embarcadero compilers
Update on Win64+UNICODE: Currently OWLMaker dont allow to build the UNICODE versions of OWLNext, OCFnext and other in Win64+UNICODE for C++Builder compilers (c++Builder clang) Using C:\OWL644\source\owlcore\CBXE3\owl.cbproj I've builded both Debug and Release version of OWLNext Win64+UNICODE. I've used C++Builder 10.x (10.1 actually). I've renamed them using the owlnext file name convention: https://sourceforge.net/p/owlnext/wiki/OWLNext_naming_convention/ Then I've opened small and medium projects...
And finally, I've builded CoolProj 6.44.28 with all these variations with C++Builder13 'Florence'; - Win32/Win64 - Debug/Release - ANSI/UNICODE - static. So we can move to have an updated version of OWLMaker.
Same for OWLext 6.44.28, I've builded successfully the variations: - Win32/Win64 - Debug/Release - ANSI/UNICODE - static. I've used 'branches/6.44/source/owlext/CBXE3/owlext.cbproj' project file to do it.
With current state [r8559] I've builded the following variations of OCFNext 6.44.28 with C++Builder 13/Florence. : - Win32/Win64 - Debug/Release - ANSI/UNICODE - static I've used 'branches/6.44/source/ocf/CBXE3/ocf.cbproj' project file to do it.
It has sense. OWL 6.4x it's in support mode, so no need to support the newest ISO standard. I will make more test (ocf, coolproj, owlext) to ensure all it's ready. I will also make tests with bracnh/owl7 source code.
