Hi,
I know this isn't strictly a GPC question, but I thought someone here might be able to help with this:
I recently installed the following version of Dev Pascal from gnu-pascal.de, under Windows XP:-
Dev+GNU Pascal 1.94.2 + GPC 20040516 + Mingw runtimes + GCC support files (9.8mb: Win32 GUI self-extracting installer; 29 May 2004)
The problem I am getting is that I am not able to click on compilation error message in the Compiler window at the bottom to take me to the corresponding line in the source. Also, sometimes, error message produced by the compiler are not even reproduced in the Compiler window.
I suspect that this is because the IDE is not correctly parsing the compiler output and so does not actually know the location of the error.
e.g. here is a Compiler window output with errors:
Line/ ... | Unit | Message | f | Project2.pas:3: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once | f | Project2.pas:3: for each routine it appears in.) | f | Project2.pas:3: undeclared identifier `y' (first use in this routine) | f | Project2.pas:5: syntax error before `:'
As you can see, the line number of the error is clearly visible in the Message column, but not in the Line column! (This was for compiling a console application, btw).
Of course, this isn't much of a problem to a seasoned programmer, however, I would like to use this IDE for a college course teaching Pascal to complete beginners and so it would be extremely useful if this feature worked properly.
Any advice (including alternative IDEs for standard non-extended Pascal) most appreciated.
cheers, ian
