Sydney, March 18 2011 - Create Externals for LiveCode using the Free Pascal Compiler
RunRevPlanet today launches the RunRevPlanet Pascal SDK. This new tool allows the development of External Libraries for LiveCode without requiring C and C++ skills. Instead the RunRevPlanet Pascal SDK uses the Free Pascal Compiler. Features are:
* Create externals without knowing C or C++
* Uses the Free Pascal Compiler
* Full support of Version 3 of the Externals API
* Supports Linux, Mac OS X, Windows
* Dual API with null-terminated or Pascal AnsiStrings
* Lightweight, does not require XCode or Visual C++
* No complex project or configuration files
* Allows LiveCode to access to a wealth of Pascal code
* Fully documented
You can download it from: http://www.runrevplanet.com/free-downloads.html

Paul,
Your welcome. I enjoy coding in Pascal almost as much as LiveCode. So mixing the two can only make something even better.
Scott.

Re: Pascal SDK for creating Externals
Thanks for this Scott!
I recently installed both FPC and Lazarus (Win/LInux/Mac) just for the pure fun of playing with Pascal again...
... it's been years since I messed with it and even then I wasn't ever very good using it, so I seriously doubt that I can add anything useful in the way of an LiveCode external. At least with your SDK available, I might have a shot at doing something worthwhile instead of just playing.
Good stuff!
