Rename the source file to .lpr, choose "open project" in the menu, and when the IDE asks if you want to create a project, say yes and choose "simple project".

The review {$mode fpc/delphi/objfpc} directives to force the source in the correct mode. The default mode of fpc is {$mode fpc} but Lazarus new source is usually {$mode objfpc}

If you don't use the IDE, you don't need a project.

Just execute the compiler on your main module and set search and includepath parameters (-Fi and -Fu).

In fact, after creating the lazarus project, I write code on the vscode. I don't want to have to open the IDE to create the project and then turn it off and open the vscode, very time consuming.

You can use the Lazarus IDE, it is good for developing GUI projects. Lazarus IDE can also be used for developing console applications.

You can also use Free Pascal IDE, which is text-based IDE. As far as I know the Free Pascal IDE is bundled on the default Free Pascal installation, you just need to type FP [enter] (in your command prompt).

Both Lazarus and Free Pascal IDE are great IDE. Is there any reason why you avoid them but use 'pure' command prompt only?

Apparently TS uses Visual Studio Code as editor.
Maybe there are extions for fpc for that, I don't know.
Why you would be OK to use vscode for programming pascal, but refuse to use either FP or Lazarus IDE is beyond me though.

http://omnipascal.com/ is one example, Bart.
I personally do not like it and abandoned it.

You need to setup the compiler as Marco indicated, but I had varying success with it.
Using it with Lazarus created projects is cumbersome. It is imo only suited for Freepascal sec.

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.
