That's true. The general problem is not that the IDE is not responsive when compiling/linking but that compiling/linking takes so long.
FPC is a fast compiler and more speed is obviously also nice. The compiling is not the issue to me, it's the unresponsive IDE that gets me. I would like it to be similir to other users experiences. For example, you can print a large document and continue browsing your text or changing some setting in the menus etc... It doesn't block you from continuing. The Lazarus IDE does.
I compile very often - probably once every minute or two. I also practise Test-Drive Development, which makes sure you compile often. I would like to start a full build (which could take a while for large projects) and continue writing fpdoc documentation or start a new unit test (obviously without saving before the compile is complete) etc...
It's called "multi-tasking". Ever heard of it? ;-) Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
