    what IDE for FPC

    [url=http://www.bloodshed.net/devpascal.html]Dev-Pascal from Bloodlust Software has an IDE for Windows. But if you prefer the Delphi look and feel, You may want Lazarus instead.

    Both are quite functional, but Lazarus is the one out of the two that is currently actively being developed.

    Lazarus has a lot more user friendliness features than Dev-Pascal. I first got DevPascal up and running and was very frustrated by the lack of key-shortcuts etc. Once I installed Lararus I was happy

    Both those seem to be formatted text editors as opposed to IDEs. I had a look at both and have downloaded them. Neither mentions the option of being able to compile. I'll have a look at both and let you know.

    what IDE for FPC

    I was wondering, any of you ever thought about doing it's own IDE ?
    I think about it some times, maybe it would not be that hard using some code from fpc (ie scanner and parser, for completition and such tools) and some advanced widget such as synedit.. Maybe studing a bit gdb to make a nice integrated debugger

    what IDE for FPC

    Dev-Pas seems discontinued. The Dev-Pas module is not present on sourceforge CVS repository anymore... I'm trying in my spare time to work on sources in order to include some features (like key shortcuts and better code completion) and reworking on user interface (first of all by removing marsCap component... I hate rainbow captions!). Maybe it could be nice to replace SynEdit with Scintilla (I like code folding, of course!)...

    It's a lot of work, I know, so if someone is intrested to give me some help...

    what IDE for FPC

    What I think is strongly needed. Is for someone to take FPC and look over some Visual components(FPC version of VCL...?) and design something that is completely cross-platform. Reason being is that Delphi & Kylix as great as they are, onlt covers 2 of the many, many other platforms that FPC covers.

    :!: Also, Kylix has problems compiling, nevermind running, on the 2.6.x Kernel of Linux. :!:

    To support all of the FPC platforms it should be written using only FPC compatable components and in Free Pascal it's self. I may soon find myself in the possition where I am going to be using FPC exclusively. So I will be quite interested in a all platforms(esp. Debian/Linux) IDE for Free Pascal.

    Legolas: If you create a site or web page for the project. I'll keep tabs on it's progress. Screenshots would be of benifit aswell.

    :!: BAD ENGLISH COMING :!:

    I had an idea to build a IDE. I'm thinking to use SynEdit @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/synedit/, its used by Dev c++ and Dev Pascal. But I haven't time to look for this now. But, my vacations are coming e I can to try any thing. If you want to begin the project. I can help after. Oks!
