Looking for a D syntax highlighter for Lazarus SynEdit

Hello, you probably know the multi-pltaform IDE "Lazarus". It has a great code editor component called SynEdit. If an advanced D user writes a D parser/tokenizer in Object Pascal and a SynEdit highlighter for D, then Lazarus could be used to write an awesome IDE for D... Currently I use Xamarin under windows and Geany under linux but I think something better could be made in Laz...Neither Geany nor MonoDevelop are "really" dedicated to D...(same remark about code:block)...

Interesting! I really like Lazarus. // Samuel

You can use Xamarin (Monodevelop) under linux too

And it's impossible to compile version 3 because the MonoDev repo misses some files in the unit test folder...But it seems that the version 4.0 will be available soon under linux.

At least a tokenizer should not be a problem. A parser gets a bit more complex. Did you start such a project aleady? I'd be interested in seeing whats going on. > > Currently I use Xamarin under windows and Geany under linux but I think something better could be made in Laz...Neither Geany nor MonoDevelop are "really" dedicated to D...(same remark about code:block)... hmmm, i mostly use vi or kate, but my D projects are not so large yet that a full-featured IDE would be required.

I have ArchLinux and everything works perfect. (mono-2.10, monodevelop-4, and latest mono-d plugin). BTW. It is possible to build mono-3, there are no missing files anymore. PKGBUILD for arch should help you: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mo/mono-beta/PKGBUILD

No not yet. I briefly studied how it's possible to write the
highlighter, I think it 's quite straightforward for someone who
masters D (not my case, I'm learning), furthemore there is
already a C++ example and the Delphi example shows how to make a
"highlighter with folding".
About the tokenizer it would be used for the completion or an
error insight system...but it's not the first thing to do (IMO).
I also think that the IDE could be partially be written in D, as
FPC can link obj files (not quite sure if they use the same
format ELF ? OMF ? COFF ?).
I'll put a link to the project in the future, in case there would
be one...

Ugh, I've had this problem too. It's strange, normally fedora is pretty good at staying up to date.

MonoDevelop + MonoD = the best what you can get, on both Linux and Windows. -- Dejan Lekic dejan.lekic (a) gmail.com http://dejan.lekic.org
