The app is being developed to be totally and completely API independent. Since the exact same compiler is available on all of the above platforms it means you don't need to do any recoding to produce identical products for different platforms. Unlike Java which strives to be a write-once run anywhere, Lazarus and Free Pascal strive to write once compile anywhere. Lazarus 64 bit is the part of the missing puzzle that will allow you to develop Delphi like programs in all of the above platforms. ![]() Free Pascal is designed to be able to understand and compile Delphi syntax, which is OOP. Free Pascal is a GPL'ed compiler that runs on Linux, Win32, OS/2, 68K, and more. It includes LCL which is more or less compatible with Delphi's VCL. Kodok.buncit, I'm almost not familiar with Lazarus package system.Lazarus is a Delphi compatible cross-platform IDE for Free Pascal. I didn't test but the Pascal plugin should work with it too.įPC for JVM support is in plans but main goal of the plugin is modern IDE for Pascal code. Of course it offers fully-featured Android form designer. The new official Android IDE from Google is also based on IDEA (previously it was based on Eclipse): I can live with it.Īnyway, it's hard to understand how IDE can improve productivity without using it for some time. For me it is about 150MB for Pascal plugin project which includes IDEA community edition code (huge amount of code!). The actual amount of memory consumed by IDEA is displayed at the right bottom. The one in Lazarus is good enough in think.Ĭoncerning memory consumption - JVM takes memory from OS on start and than manages it by itself. There is no plans to add any kind of form designers. The main goal is to create a modern IDE for creating, analyzing and refactoring Pascal code using many man-years already invested in IDEA. "stick with Lazarus" is not an option because the plugin is not intended to replace Lazarus. To run an application a Run configuration of type "FPC executable" should be created first (once):Īny feedback, suggestions questions are highly appreciated! ![]() To compile a file just select "Compile." from a context menu (appears on right-click) On "Sources" tab a library path can be specified. This is the file which be compiled and runned: Choose in menu File->Project Structureįor a module, a main file should be specified. Click "New" to the right of "Project SDK"Ĥ. Select "Pascal Module" to create a moduleģ. This can be done at a project creation time:Ģ. To use a Free Pascal compiler a so called SDK should be added to IDE. The plugin adds a new module type - Pascal module. ![]() An IDEA module corresponding to a project in Lazarus or Delphi. Please note that external build option should be turned off here: Right click on the plugin and choose "Download and Install" Choose in menu File->Settings, than PluginsĤ. identifier declaration, references and usages search and highlightġ.full Object Pascal language (Delphi mode) parser.navigation between method or routine declaration and implementation.undeclared identifiers usage highlight with quick fix. ![]() The plugin requires Community Edition of IDEA 12.хх (and probably 13.xx) which is available for free download here: Many languages are supported via plugins but Pascal. P圜harm, RubyMine, WebStorm, PHPStorm and others are based on the platform. There is a brilliant IDE for Java - Intellij IDEA.Īctually it's a platform which can be used to develop IDE for any language.
