Very bad tool,
You mean ToPas?
It's a very powerful tool...
Barely converts anything,
It converts almost everything, once it is configured properly.
Complains files are missing.
Right, your config is inappropriate.
Does weird stuff with F: ?
Seems also to be config related.
At least it's written in Delphi it seems,
Right, and somebody tried to port it to Lazarus, last year.
Doesn't even have a simple convert button.
It needs a manual ? I do not have time to read manuals for something as
simple as converting C to Pascal.
When it's as simple, why then do you need a tool?
In contrast to other *heuristic* converters, ToPas is an *exact*
converter. This means that it requires the C compiler, that allows to
compile the given modules and header files. It's not the compiler
itself, but all its header files and predefined macros must be
available, before a conversion can succeed.
Perhaps with some work it might become a better tool, but right now it's
unusable.
It's usable only with a correct configuration, not really different from
FPC and Lazarus ;-)
