I repeat - I use freepascal under linux. I am writing an IDE using GTK. It works pretty well. But Lazarus and GDB are different beasts. I am writing the debugger interface, so I can say I know gdb too -> written with C in mind, it simply lacks many things, and those that are in place are often buggy. For gdb, ansistrings are a recent conquest... but now we should stop to talk about this on this list - contact me on my private email "doriano.blengino-chiocciola-fastwebnet.it", if you want. > > But OK, as soon I have a free few hours, I will try to compile it and I will > inform you. It would be great, thanks. Ciao, Doriano
