By IDE do you mean lazarus, or the freepascal IDE which is different (like turbopascal). There is an FPC mailing list too.... if you just end up using FPC as a command line program, fpc mailing list is definitely where the questions sho > I found everything for starting the IDE but not for > starting the compiler directly (I will be using my own editor for source > files). To use FPC there is no need to install lazarus, you can just install fpc and run fpc from the command line. Lazarus is geared toward delphi style development, whereas FPC compiler from freepascal.org is more like a gnu c compiler at the command line, or, if you prefer, more like turbo pascal if you prefer to use a bright blue (keeps you up at night) console mode ide. There is no requirement to use the console mode ide, nore is there any requirement to use Lazarus delphi like IDE. freeepascal.org has downloads and a separate mailing list just for fpc. THis is the lazarus delphi like IDE mailing list -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
