Welcome to the new Friends-of-FPC!

Here you can find all kinds of information about the FreePascal Compiler. We have many tutorials and howtos as well as a selection of tools to help you with your programming. We also have some example codes for you. And if you want to contribute some information/ sources/ tools yourself you can do so.
Also we have finally relaunched the FoFPC forum. It's your chance for some Q&A about everything FreePascal.

Basics: Getting started with FreePascal.

Getting started with FPC (German Version)

The goal of this tutorial is to show complete newbies how to get started with FPC. From installing the compiler to configuring an external editor that will be used as an IDE. The article is aimed at Windows programmers or at least programmers that code on the windows platform. (English, German)

How to write an editor

This will explain one way to write an texteditor that will compile on most platforms (as long as it has the units crt and dos (dos might be replaced with something more appropriate for the platform that is intended as target, but then all file-operations will change slightly)). (English)

Pointers and Linked Lists

Pointers are powerful, they are flexible, but the price you pay for that is difficulty to master and harder-to-catch bugs. This tutorial shows you how to handle them. (English)
