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.
