It isn't a problem for me, because my app needs to run just on Windows and
Linux. =)

Re: [fpc-pascal] Basic Windows tutorial

2015-10-23 Thread Ryan Joseph 
Ok, I did some reading and found out there is an anchoring plugin you can 
install that makes it one window, which is great.

Some questions:

I started a project using the “simple application” template which made a 
console window I don’t really want. Is there a way to remove that window? I 
don’t see any code which is creating it.

Can I route STDOUT (does that exist on Windows?) from writeln to the message 
window in Lazarus? That’s pretty typical for development and I can’t see where 
it’s going right now.

Do I need to do anything in Lazarus to package application resources (like 
images, data files) or do I just include them in the same directory as the 
executable? That’s just a general Windows question I guess but Lazarus seems to 
have a guy for this.

Thanks.

Currently you need to do this for each platform separately.

You don't need to use Lazarus as RAD. After all you can use it for example
for console applications as well (like the compiler) which definitely
aren't RAD. For your purposes you'd just need to start with the correct
project template and the IDE would still assist you with its powerful
codetools.
