How is it; when I have installed Lazarus+FPC, is it possible to run that installation like I did not have Lazarus?
I ask this strange question because I like to introduce my little son to the very concept of programing. I believe that is best done without a lot of fancy things, but just
Program x;
Begin
End.
from which to increase the complexity.
The FPC installation is in the folder fpc. You can use any editor you want, to create a pascal file, and then call the compiler (fpc.exe). Not sure what args you need to pass, but there is online docs (google).
There also is fp.exe in the fpc folder (an old style like IDE, but IMHO it really only is any good for nostalgic reasons).
In the end I recommend to still use the Lazarus IDE.
Project > New > "Program"
This gives you an empty command line program (you can get rid of the pre-defined use).
Then you still get the comfort of the IDE, you dont need to worry how to call the compile, and you start at zero.
