But the problem is (as I've repeatedly stated on this list) is that if
one doesn't use lazarus for their IDE, then building anything other than
basic command line programs is nearly impossible.? I've asked (multiple
times) on this list for samples of doing various things with FPC that
lazarus does with ease, (such as GUI, and networking), without using
lazarus, and each and every time, the silence has been deafening.
I've never once received any information on doing these kinds of things
without Lazarus.? Sure, there's a (very) few examples of using tcp/ip
networking with the default FPC install, but those examples are about as
simplistic as it's possible to get, which actually shows next to nothing
about such capabilities.? aAnd, I've *never* seen any samples of how to
build a GUI app just by using the command line compiler.? I've done
searches on google, and asked on this list, and everything I can turn up
shows nothing as relates to building an FPC app with a GUI w/o using
some IDE or other.(mostly lazarus), so if you could kindly point me to
such resources, I'd love to see them
Typically when I ask such questions on this list, I get either no
response at all, or I get snarky ones that contribute nothing to the
discussion.? (mostly from yourself).
It is quite singular, but there is Ultrastar Deluxe (https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/USDX), a cross-platform Karaoke game, which is based on fpc using OpenGL, SDL and quite a number of other libraries instead of lazarus. However, it is quite involved and as such rather highlights the ease of using lazarus.
All the best - Michael.
