Thanks again to Reinier and Sven
I just bought Getting Started with Lazarus IDE.
I actually tried to get started with FPC back In January. I felt that
the language was too tied to Lazarus and that I didn't want to use an
IDE so I gave up.
I will report back when I am a little further along this time. It is
possible that the language is not being presented exactly as is intended
or that there is too much room for people to misinterpret how the
programming environment works.

Hi Everyone
I really like the pascal code I have looked at and I am very excited
about FPC. I hope this email won't upset anyone, it is a bit negative.
I don't really like IDEs. I used gvim and I suppose it could almost be
called an IDE as well but I mean I would rather use the shellr then
clicking on a build button.
IDEs are less about "build buttons", but about the additional features
they provide:
- integrated debugging
- error location highlighting
- code completion
- code refactoring tools
I am trying to learn what Lazarus is all about but I am still clueless.
There are screen shots of it being used to develop GTK and QT
applications but I have also read that GTK 2 is new and buggy and then
there is this line:
It seems that this wasn't updated for quite some time...GTK2 is no
problem today and is the standard GUI interface for Lazarus on Linux
"The FPC Qt4 Binding is not meant to create Qt applications in FPC. But
it should allow the Lazarus LCL developers to create a Qt Widget set for
Lazarus"
I would say scratch that sentence. The first part can be more or less
considered nonsense...
Can I build GTK 2 (or 3) and QT applications in this?
GTK 3 is not yet supported, but GTK 2 and QT are.
Could anyone point
me to resources on how to build GUI applications without Lazarus?
You could take a look at the packages/gtk2/examples directory of a FPC
source distribution.
Regards,
Sven
