Use FPC from command line is easy if you're not using the LCL (the Lazarus Component Library).
If you're using the LCL they explained in the other answers, but if you just use the RTL then the easiest way is just calling FPC from the same directory you have the sources: ~$ fpc theprogram That will compile the program at "theprogram.pas" with default configuration (the fpc.cfg file). There are a lot of options you can see just with: ~$ fpc -h | more In most cases I create directories "src/", "obj/" and "bin/" and then I use a bash script like this: #!/bin/sh # Debug (GDB). OPTIONS='-O1 -gw3 -gl -vwn -Ci -Cr -Ct -CR -Co -Sa -gh' # Release. # OPTIONS='-O3 -CX -XX -Xs -vw' FLAGS="$OPTIONS -Sh -Si -l" DIALECT='-MObjFPC' UNITS='-Fusrc' OUTPUT='-FUobj -FEbin' FILE='src/programfile.pas' FULL="$FLAGS $DIALECT $UNITS $OUTPUT $FILE" fpc $FULL I hope this helps. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
