Freepascal for Morphos + newbie questions

    Posts: 11 from 2014/9/18
    Just installed MorphOS and i'm ready to start porting over my code.

    But I need freepascal and also a few tidbits:

    Please, where can I download

    1. Docking app (like OS X)
    2. FreePascal / Lazarus
    3. Openoffice

    Also, GUI header files for FPC is also very welcome!

    Also, can I change the skin for MorphOS? The windows look terrible.

    Hope someone can help a newbie

    2. Freepascal is onAminet

    3. OpenOffice is not available.

    You can find newer freepascal here:

    http://charlie.amigaspirit.hu/software/fpc/morphos/

    I do not think it has all features needed to compile Lazarus.

    Welcome to Morphzone and MorphOS.

    If you don't mind me asking, how did you discover MorphOS? Did you have any experience with the Commodore Amiga?

    1. Docking app (like OS X)




    1) Just install the utilities you may want using

    2) Create new dock

    3) Add utility to dock by moving its icon on dock space

    4) Enjoy your personal dock

    To locate utilities that could be of some interest for you, check here:

    Thanks!
    Maybe he should simply upload his port to Aminet?

    These are experimental builds for now. The release versions will be official with the FreePascal 3.0 release. See:

    My previous question is in reference to creating buttons, windows etc. Does FPC handle all of that, just like in the example code on the site?

    Depends on whats your plan,

    You can use Standard MUI functions/objects to create GUIs, perfectly usable already, the Header Data and library functions for MUI are included.

    If you want to use Lazarus/LCL Window like programming someone has to port the LCL-Wrapper to MorphOS/MUI. This is tough work, I tell you.
    I'm doing this at the moment for AROS http://blog.alb42.de and most of this would also work on MorphOS, there is just a tiny thing in the MorphOS - Freepascal missing, the Resource support. If this is added (most likely by Charlie), I would like to try the LCL also for MorphOS.

    @ALB42:

    I dont know anything about MUI developing.. FPC code looks simpler to manage, write.. I was hoping for a all-in-one solution that could do GUI app building instead of relying on different software packages to create an app. Sounds like you'd head in the right direction if the resource support was added.

    I have zero clue about resources, but I enabled resources support in the compiler for MorphOS (and classic Amiga), so today's nightly build should include them (or the next one). In theory it should be at the same level as AROS now. If something is still missing, report and I'll try to fix it.

    @ALB42:

    I will speak for myself and what I want...

    I dont know who Charlie is...but IMO... If there was 1 language that has "everything" I need to build an app, be it CLI based but *also* GUI (without f'in around and learning MUI stuff), I would be for it. Can FreePascal be that? Is it powerful enough to access SQLite databases, has the ability for some graphics stuff (charts or what have you)..something someone can go to *one* location to do all development..1 tool.

    If so, is all we need the resource support, then the LCL? If yes...tell me..what will it take to make this happen? PM is ok.

    So all we need now is the LCL wrapper?

    LOL ... thanks! :-)

    I guess you could be fine with Hollywood. Can do all you want. Programs can use MUI GUI (basic MUI GUI is really simple to do, but more advanced GUIs require a bit more effort of course) , be console only, use a broad set of graphic primitives, has an sqlite extension and so forth.
