Hello friends,

I'm trying to use Pascal Script in a project, but I found two versions, that is:

1 - https://github.com/remobjects/pascalscript;
2 - https://github.com/graemeg/lazarus/tree/upstream/components/PascalScript
;

So, what version is the best for use with Free Pascal, the original project (link 1, it is compatible with Free Pascal too) or ported project (link 2, available in Lazarus components)?

Thank you very much!

ps. I think that version available on Lazarus components could be distributed with Free Pacal, because it is easily compiled using only FCL. I testd it in a small sample and it worked fine.

Both code should be fairly in sync, but use the graeme version instead, it may contain Lazarus specific fixes.

they are almost the same

the laz version has some of the example or delphi-only files stripped off. And it may be a bit behind sometimes (it was recently updated / there a few commits on the original anyway...)

fixes made to the lazarus version are usually backported.

Nice.

It could be ported to the FPC sources (at least the core units).

After, I can contribute with it, sending some new units (support for SQLdb, FPJSON etc. etc. etc.).

fixes made to the lazarus version are usually backported.

Ported from Lazarus trunk to the original PS repo?

Thank you friend! (y)

I'd rather get some pull requests for the original ones so I can get this integrated in the main repository.

I did sent them a few bug fixes and they took them, so yes.

there will be a few changes (defines / $fatal vs raise) for bigide, those may not be ported back. but then they will not be bugfixes -------------- next part --------------

Very nice.

I think that it could've two packages, a runtime and a designetime, being the first fully independent of LCL. If you prefer I can create such packages.

please report them at https://github.com/remobjects/pascalscript/issues

There are no plans to make big modifications to the lazarus version, since the original is still maintained.

Hm... then maybe it would be interesting to delete PS of Lazarus components, or keeping only a link indicating where to download the package, and renaming the foldes from "PascalScript" to "pascalscript".

What do you think? :/

it is included because it is now part of bigide.

see editor macros.

Very nice.

So, I sent all changes to the official repository ( https://github.com/remobjects/pascalscript), but I don't know if they saw my issues. :/

I saw that Carlo replied to the thread earlier, so he should be aware. -------------- next part --------------

I saw it. I'll look at it as soon as I can.
