the main units for the compiler including are 'compiler.pas' and 
'comphook.pas'. But as you already stated, you can best take a look at the 
textmode ide (it's in fpcompil.pas)

But the basics are very simple:

in compiler.pas there is a function 'Compile()' just call it like you start 
from the commandline.

compiler.compile('-Tlinux -Fu~/pp/rtl/linux filename.pas'); { this will 
load ppc386.cfg }


or use an other trick (which is used by the text ide to overcome the 255 
char limit):

compiler.compile('[fp.cfg] -g filename.pas');

this will load fp.cfg instead of ppc386.cfg, and you can still add switches 
to the commandline.



Now the hooking in the ide works with the comphook.pas.

this unit has a global variable, status which holds the latest information 
about the current source postion and errorcount, etc.

and contains some procvars which can be assigned:

do_comment
do_status
do_stop
do_internalerror

these van be assigned by your own routines.

the important ones are 'do_stop' which normally calls halt(1), which you 
ofcourse don't want ;), just an empty procedure will be enough.

do_status is called for every line that has been scanned, you need to add a 
check for, run every .. lines yourselves, this is mainly there for progress 
info

do_comment is the main output routine, which gets a verbosity level and a 
string. the main use is to check if the level matches the current settings, 
and then output it to the screen or more in IDE style, add it to a listbox.


To only get fpcompil.pas with cvs type:

cvs -z3 co ide/text/fpcompil.pas
