<p>On further thought on matter below, I suggest the best approach
would be to drop the fp-units-gtk2-3.2.2 unit entirely. Put the
files in it back into fp-units-rtl (ensuring they are built of
course). Having a specific gtk2 unit on a system thats never going
to run gtk2 is silly. But the files in the packages/gtk2 are
important and do not require any gtk2 infrastructure to build.</p>

<p>Hi Folks, just wondering whats happening with both FPC and
Lazarus and all dependent apps being removed from Forky ?</p>
<p>I have been away out of contact and need to catch up.</p>
<p>It seems to me that FPC has been removed because it has a
dependency on gtk2, yes it does, no it does not need to have ! The
debian package, fp-units-gtk2-3.2.2 does list libgtk2.0-dev as a
dependency but in fact that unit can be built on a totally gtk2
free headless system. It contains binding to various libraries
(some of which are gtk2) but is totally self contained, it makes
no use of gtk2.</p>

<p>If that issue can be resolved, then we can start looking at
Lazarus, the problem there is that the prebuilt Lazarus packages
downloadable from SourceForge use gtk2, however, for some time
now, Qt5 or Qt6 would be viable alternatives.</p>
