I find that very interesting. The Eclipse group has redesigned the web site

most visitors directly to the major Java or Rich Client IDE.

Hello,
Please also move this Eclipse discussion to fpc-other (unless it's

Then choose whatever you wnat to download, and choose the mirror, and
the download starts.
lazarus.freepascal.org on the other way seldom works lately and when
it does it's so slow it can't be used.

Hello
Like ti weigh in on this thread in the discussion regarding increasing the
GUI-ness of FP.
Has anyone looked into writing an Eclipse plug-in for FP (as an was done for
Python and Ruby)?
Given the huge base of Eclipse users this might be a way to reach the goal
with both a better developer

I just checked out fpwm and updated it and fpgui locally so it can compile.
It does almost nothing atm but can reparent and close windows :) not alot. I
was thinking I might write a widget for resizing and moving windows.

How could Linus Torvalds write the core
of Linux in rather short time, single-handed, if it is such a huge task
just to port it?
Because he didn't really write it from scratch, instead he just improves
what's already there (Unix source code, maybe?) and poing! Linux comes up.

Absolutely. Most of Unix is plain C, which translates well to Pascal.
C++ is harder, of course.

Question is:
Which linux distro ? ;)
Maybe even some BSD version so that closed-source os-es could be done as
well.
Though I onced tried FreeBSD... I couldn't even figure out the gui or how to
start an app..
So maybe linux more

The work is imensely smaller, althougth still large, and a window
