[fpc-pascal] Free Pascal compiler/linker/debugger as a plug-in/replacement for Delphi compiler/linker/debugger

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

Delphi's compiler/linker is probably malfunctioning for uint64 types.

It would be nice if free pascal compiler/linker/debugger can be used as a
replacement.

So that I can still use the Delphi IDE.

To do that probably requires replacing some DLL.

Maybe like:

DCC.DLL or something like that.

Hack it, reverse engineer it.

Then use it as a gateway to FPC :):):)

Bye,
Skybuck ;)

look at the crossfpc project. It does exactly that. Simon Kissel is the head
of that project.

What about Lazarus?

I don't like lazarus so much :)

I like Delphi 2007 IDE much better :)

What if FPC is re-built as a addon for Delphi 2007, and later on you
like Delphi 2009 more? ;)

I think he is looking for problems, not solutions.

It's active. The CrossFPC project is awfully silent (and IMHO never made
technilogical sense)

The move from the old D7 and prior IDE to the BDS/Galileo one broke the
whole CrossXXX movement last time I looked.
