Re: [fpc-devel] Free Pascal 2.6.0 released!

2012-01-01 Thread Jeff Duntemann
Bravo! My only question is: Are there any particular issues with respect to using 2.6.0 with Lazarus? I didn't see that mentioned in the changes doc. Thanks to everybody who worked on it! (And happy new year, all!) --73-- --Jeff Duntemann Colorado Springs, Colorado On 1/1/2012 8:43 AM

Re: [fpc-devel] bounty: FPC based debugger

2011-09-13 Thread Jeff Duntemann
I agree with Joost. I've always liked the Insight GUI for gdb, and as best I know that's written in Tcl/Tk, of all things. So a FreePascal front end for gdb isn't a bad idea, and would be a great deal easier than writing a complete low-level debugger from scratch. --73-- --Jeff Duntemann

and intimidatingly complex. I'd rather see some effort put into an easy-to-install beginner's programming environment than in pulling features out of the compiler. I know this isn't the forum for that discussion, but I did want to make the suggestion. --73-- --Jeff Duntemann Colorado Springs

This is very blue-sky, but it would be an interesting enhancement to Lazarus to target ARM or Atmel AVR CPUs in the manner of the Processing language/IDE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processing_%28programming_language%29 It's how you create software for the Arduino boards that are so popular

[fpc-devel] New download location for the ebook--sorry for the messup!

2008-02-20 Thread Jeff Duntemann
Well, I have no idea why the downloads went so badly, but it doesn't matter where the file comes from, really. Try this URL instead; it's my own FTP site: http://www.copperwood.com/pub/FreePascalSquareOneVol1.pdf I'm going to delete this copy in a couple of days because it isn't anywhere

As a pertinent aside here, I learned most of what I know about X from Niall Mansfield's book The Joy of X (Addison Wesley, 1993). Great overview, lots of good technical figures. Not an implementation guide, by any means, but it made the X system quite clear to me, even though I don't use it
