will you provide support cross compiling to linux or arm?
The DevPascal's sources I have can handle FPC or GNU Pascal compiler, and settings are stored in .ini format.

FreePascal provides i386/linux to arm/linux cross compiling, AFAIK, but is in an early stage... Anyway i'll include an option to support cross-compiler,

I have some questions:
How does it call the compiler ? It just run the executable capturing the output or has freepascal compiled in the IDE ?
And about the debugger? Original Dev-pas had the debugger? How was interfaced?
Well... DevPas just run&capture... And - of course :cry: - the debugger is in text mode only. No IDE integration. Nothing. Nada. Nihil. :lol:
It would be a nice feature to embedding a debugger in DevPas...
