Build Coedit

Build

Coedit

Coedit is mostly programmed in Object Pascal, using the the Lazarus development platform.

  • Download and setup the latest Lazarus version (>= 1.8.0) and FPC + FPC sources (>= 3.0.4) for your platform.
    • Windows: the three packages are bundled in an installer.
    • Linux: the three packages must be downloaded and setup individually. It's recommended to download the packages from SourceForge and not from the official repository of the distribution because they don't always propose the latest version.
  • cd <user dir where to clone>
  • git clone https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit.git
  • git submodule update --init --recursive, to clone the dependencies used by the background tool.

The Lazarus LCL and the FreePascal FCL may require patches that fix bugs or regressions present in the latest Lazarus release and for which Coedit cannot include workarounds. Any .patch file located in the patches/ folder should be applied. On linux you'll have to set the write permissions to /usr/lib64/fpc and /usr/lib64/lazarus.

You're now ready to build Coedit. This can be done in the IDE or using the lazbuild utility.

  • If you don't plan to develop the project, use lazbuild:

    • open a console.
    • cd to the repository location, sub folder lazproj.
    • type lazbuild -B coedit.lpi and ENTER. note that the path to lazbuild may have to be specified.

  • If you plan to help developing you'd better get started with Lazarus, which is less conveniant:

    • start Lazarus.
    • setup lazproj/cedsgncontrols.lpk with Lazarus package manager (requires to rebuild Lazarus).
    • in the project menu, click open... and select the file Coedit.lpi, which is located in the sub-folder lazproj.
    • in the menu Execute click Create.

After what Coedit should be build. The executable is output to the bin folder.

Dastworx

The background tool used by the IDE is a D program.

  • Download and setup latest DMD version.
  • In the repository, browse to the dastworx folder.
    • Windows: double click build.bat
    • Linux: sh ./build.sh

You can also build it in CE using the project file dastworx.ce.

Third party tools:

Additionally you'll have to build the completion daemon DCD and the D linter Dscanner. See the products documentation for more information.
