Well you can get the version of FPC that contains an IDE. You just need
to download a snapshot. The only problem is that it uses a clone of
Turbo Vision which has some problems so the source can't be distributed.
This means you can't build the IDE yourself. (If I understand it
correctly).

As mentioned you can also try using RHIDE. If you are working on a Win32
machine you can use the fpide to work with Free Pascal. It doesn't
currently integrate a debugger but that isn't that big a deal. You can
still run the debugger separately.

As you mentioned you can use DDD for debugging. It does all the step
through stuff you are looking for. You can get Linux and I believe
Windows version of DDD.

As to using notepad as an editor. Well I use the editor found in MC (not
GMC). It has all of the syntax highlighting I need. I then compile from
the command line and when I need to trace code I use the debugger.
Granted it will be nice when we can have it all in one package but that
is what we are working towards.   :-)
