Will I need to recompile my Pascal source files for object
compatibility
with Win 10?
Should I install the latest version of Free Pascal, and if so, which
version is that?
Will I have any compatibility problems with my source codes and an
up-to-date compiler?
You don't need to do anything except for installing your FPC version
again.
Of course you're free to upgrade to 3.2.0, but it might involve
changes, so
that might be something for another day.
P.S. - "Lazarus" is a term I'm not familiar with. Is it a completely
new
IDE for Free
Pascal? Is there a document which describes differences with the
old
IDE?
Is the old IDE still available in case I have trouble with Lazarus?
Lazarus is nothing new. It's around 20 years old as well and is a very
stable and comfortable IDE for Free Pascal. You can use it for both GUI
and
console development and especially the code utilities and the debugger
integration are more advanced than the text mode IDE.
If you want I'd suggest you to simply download Lazarus 2.0.10 and to
give
it a try. On Windows it comes with FPC 3.2.0 which will *not* interfere
with a standalone installation of FPC (e.g. Your 2.6.4).
If you have trouble you can ask here or on the forum (
forum.lazarus.freepascal.org for both FPC and Lazarus) or look at the
wiki (
wiki.freepascal.org, also for both projects).
Regards,
Sven
