[SOLVED] FreePascal IDE on MS Windows 10...
« on: March 25, 2020, 11:24:32 pm »
Purely for nostalgic reasons...

Can anyone inform me as to whether the FP distro that comes with Lazarus might also contain Free Pascal's DOS-like IDE?

I've seen images of it on Google searches and it makes me a bit reminiscent of the old days using Q-Basic, MASM, Turbo C/C++, etc.

I can download and install FP to get it if necessary. I was just wondering if Lazarus already came with it.

The Lazarus installation package for Linux downloaded SourceForge always provides FP - the classic text-based non-GUI DOS-like editor.

Except the installer for Windows, AFAIK all other platforms are shipped with it.

For macOS it isn't, but it can be installed.

Maybe this is going to change in the FPC 3.2 era because the textmode IDE now can use an external debugger, making it less of a pain to build. (or at least build with a debugger inside, many 3rd party builds don't)

Wow, it is there too. Start it with -
fp <enter>

Spent many hours in front of the original.  Only down side of the FPC one is the color scheme, quite unusable on my machine. Cannot see how to change the colors sadly ...

The source of Free Pascal IDE is in fpc source (not Lazarus source), here:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. /fpc_src/packages/ide/fp.pas

https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Source/3.0.4/

Where can I find instructions for compiling the IDE app?

- list of required files?
- main project file?
- etc.

I get numerous errors when I try to compile.

1) get fpc sources
2) get gnu binutils and a fpc compiler binary as bootstrap compiler
3) open a command box
4) go to the folder of fpc sources ("CD c:\fpcsrc" for example)
5) call the make utility from the binutils folder (c:\binutils\make install)

normaly the FP ide package is built during process and the FP.EXE program is created that is the text FreeVision IDE

-----
Alternatively use fpcupdeluxe tool ... it automates and simplify the above tasks in one click

Thank you for you assistance.

However, I'm still getting errors. I'm just going to close this topic because the IDE is really just for nostalgic purposes and is no longer worth the headache of sorting it out.

LOL Sorry about that.

I meant it was nostalgic only for my purposes.

I installed Free Pascal in addition to Lazarus. I added the fp bin folder to my system path, restarted, and it compiled okay. It's working now. I guess the fp compiler that came with Lazarus didn't want to do it.

Okee dokee. I ran it and it installed Lazarus and Free Pascal on my system. I copied the original installations to a new folder name, though.

Do these new installations have advanced features? Or, just corrected configurations?
