Another Newbie Question – In the Text Editor Realm (Runtime Errors)
Joanna:
@mrpink I'm sorry pascal programming is so scary, would you like me to hold your hand? :D
@440bx does fpc come with an editor that allows debugging? I've only. used lazarus ide.

You can debug in Free Pascal IDE.

dseligo answered the question, which I am glad he did (thank you) because I don't remember much about the Free Pascal text mode IDE (I never use it.)

Is it possible to develop gui programs using fpc without Lazarus or it is strictly for console programs?

It most certainly is.
None of my programs, GUI or otherwise, use any of the Lazarus components. Many of my programs compile with FPC and Delphi v2 (yes, that's right, version 2.) All I need is an editor and FPC. That said, IMO, a debugger is as important a tool as a good compiler and a good editor and, now Lazarus offers a really good debugger (FpDebug). I use Lazarus as a front end to FPC and as a debugger and, very minor editing (I do all the real editing in a separate editor.)
