Anyone have an idea how to do that? I prefer delphi 2006/2007's coding environment and debugger over lazarus's, but i'd like to try porting one of my larger projects to freepascal and see if i can get it to run in linux and then... who knows!!

Anyway, way back when, with bp7 i had managed to use its ide as a frontend for my compilers since it could intercept the output messages and display them in the messages pane. I've tried to do something similar with the Build Tools and Configure Tools menu options in delphi but... well that didnt work out.

So, has anyone done this?

Not that it's such a big bother really, i'll eventually learn to better use lazarus if i have to but since i've got the delphis, i wouldn't mind using them even more!
