IRC channels
You can try to meet the core Free Pascal developers using IRC channel #fpc on server irc.freenode.net. Most of the core developers are Europeans, so choosing a decent European hour may improve your chances to contact them ;-).Free Pascal related projects that contain an IDE or development tools:
- The FPIDE team has a GUI editor for FPC under Windows (Windows 95 and higher). The current version of FPC comes with this IDE.
- The FPE editor is an alternative to FPIDE on the Windows platforms, which is also highly recommended.
- Dev-pascal is a free Windows IDE programmed in Delphi which uses Free Pascal as the underlying compiler. It supports everything a IDE should do, debugging included.
- Lazarus is a project that aims to develop a Delphi clone using the Free Pascal Compiler. This projects includes a rapid development IDE based on its own class library the LCL which adaptes to GTK+ on Linux and Win32.
- MOS (Master Operating System) is a GUI toolkit like Visual Pascal for making grafical programs that will compile with BP7 and Free Pascal; it comes with a visual development tool for resource editing and should run under DOS and Windows.
- OpenSibyl is a project that aims to deliver Delphi-like RAD tool primarily for OS/2 using Free Pascal Compiler. The complete set of OS/2 features should be made available, not just the most portable common set - this is what makes it different from Lazarus.
Other Free Pascal related sites:
- Pascal Game Development is a website dedicated to develop computer games in the Pascal language.
- Freepascal support page by Carl Eric Codère. contains some experimental versions of Freepascal, pre-built cross-compilers for Win32 platforms, as well as general information on FPC.
- Pasdoc by Marco Schmidt, Johannes Berg and Carl Eric Codère is a tool for documenting your source code that generates HTML and LaTeX documentation directly from the sources.
- Here you can find a nice pascal tutorial. It covers basic pascal, but does not treat Object Oriented Programming.
- More links to Pascal tutorials.
- Spanish pascal is an attempt to translate the Pascal language to Spanish. It is based on the 1.0.4 freepascal source code. Later it will be translated in other languages. This is still in a development stage.
- Free Pascal meets SDL contains lots of information how to develop Simple Direct Media Layer applications using Free Pascal
Other Pascal Pages:
- Graphics Vision, a clone of Turbo Vision that works in graphics mode; a port for FPC is being developed.
- Pascal Central, where you can find a lot of info on Pascal programming on the Mac, but also quite a few general Pascal links.
- Mac Pascal Compiler page: project to port FPC to the MacOS/PowerPC platform.
- EFLIB is a free class library for pascal.
- The pascal Yacc and Lex home page for information on the yacc and lex prgrams for pascal.
Programming information:
- DJGPP is the central information source for GNU C for MS-DOS and programming with Go32v2. It provides lots of Unix alike utils plus some more that are DOS specific. Further it provides documentation on most of the Unix tools plus further information on AT&T assembler coding.
