+Lazarus is a Rapid Application Development Tool for FreePascal.
+It comes with the LCL - Lazarus component library, which contains platform
+independent visual components like buttons, windows, checkbox, treeview and
+many, many more. The LCL is platform independent, so you can write an
+application once and then compile for various platforms without changing code.
+
+Note: To build lazarus with qt4 interface (LCL) you need to install qt4pas
+and define the variable LCL: LCL=qt ./lazarus.SlackBuild
+
+Note: This won't build on non-i386 platforms.
+
+This requires fpc [Free pascal].
