Linux IDE for pascal

[serengeor]

I need a Pascal IDE, which would come with compiler that would be similar to this one ( only for windows ).
We are using this IDE at school so I would like to have something similar to it.
Tried Lazarus IDE, but it seems kind of strange with all those windows everywhere.
Edit: well maybe Lazarus is not so bad, but it uses some other keywords.

Code: Select all

unit Unit1; 

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

interface

uses
  Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs; 

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
  private
    { private declarations }
  public
    { public declarations }
  end; 

var
  Form1: TForm1; 

implementation

initialization
  {$I unit1.lrs}

end.
                

I think 'Unit' is like we use at school 'program',
but what is 'Interface' keyword for?
and what does these mean?

Code: Select all

implementation

initialization

I've got also Pascal in school. I used TurboPascal (dos version) on DosBox (dos emulator, works under GNU/Linux).
I don't know that there is any other IDE than Lazarus for GNU/Linux.

Btw, under GNU/Linux there is good free compiler: http://www.freepascal.org/.


edit:
Those keywords looks like Delphi keywords.

I guess I'll use virtual box and try to run the same IDE we use in school.

Back in the days that i was doomed, i used Geany. You can get it from the repositories, and i think it also comes with free pascal compiler, or it will download it automatically as a dependence, i guess.

EDIR: or wait, am i thinking of C now?

entity thanks I'll look into geany as it seams to support pascal syntax
Do you know how to set up fpc with geany?
Edit: used a template file and it worked, how would I actually run it as double clicking doesn't work.

Are you looking for something only for coloring code, or more stuff like autocompletion etc?

If only syntax coloring, you can use vim
There is screen from my vim:

[serengeor]

Heh, no I actually don't need auto completion or fancy coloring, but I prefer GUI instead of console

And I got geany working so I guess I'll stick to it as it works ok.

Guess I still haven't got used to linux

Thanks.
