Dear sirs,
thank you for the free pascal compiler, I am a student at
www.fernuni-hagen.de.
When starting free pascal compiler, there is a preselected *.pas
that
appears its programcode. As I tried to delete the preselected file,
there
was an error like 'cannot load, file is missing'.
How is it possible both to delete the automatical entry of code
and to
select a different, maybe a self-template code?
Do you mean you started the command-line compiler ("fpc") or the
text mode
IDE ("fp")?
I guess that the e-mail subject combined with the description
suggests the
latter (i.e. it is indeed the FP IDE, not the compiler). If this
assumption is correct, the issue may be related to desktop (of the
IDE)
saved from some previous session. From this point of view, the
possible
answers might be:
1) If you remove file fp.dsk stored either in the directory, from
which fp
is started, or in the user home directory (the exact location
depends on
the used operating system / platform), or possibly in some system-wide
shared location (again depending on the operating system /
platform), the
IDE should not try to load any particular file any longer.
2) Regarding the setup of something else you _want_ to open at start,
there are several options. First, you may simply start the IDE with a
command line parameter specifying the file to open. This may be
specified
e.g. in the shortcut / launch object / whatever it is called on your
host
platform, or you may use this option together with association of the
respective file type with the IDE and then opening the file
automatically
in the IDE. Second, you might open the needed file on your (IDE)
desktop,
have the desktop saved and disable the option for automatically
saving the
desktop state when exiting the program. That way the IDE always starts
with the same windows open, etc. Third, you might simply start the IDE
without anything open by default and open files or create them based
on
the existing or newly created template (File -> New from template).
In order to switch from assumptions to facts, we should preferably
know /
understand:
1) Which host platform is this (MS Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, etc.)?
2) Is the question related to a new installation, or an existing
installation provided and maintained by someone else (e.g. in the
University lab)?
