Trying KDevelop for the first time. I have the free pascal libraries installed, I have KDevelop 3.9.95 installed, I can select java, c+, C#, and so on, but I do not have an option for any pascal.

I learned pascal in college, that is why I would like to use it (I know people dont like it, so please refrain from opinions), just looking for help.

I tried lazarus, and yes it is nice, reminds me of Delphi, but I take issues with it not finding library paths when they are in the IDE.

Would really like to use KDevelop, so if anyone can let me know how to let KDevelop give me options to use the pascal language, that would be great. I have searched through the menus, and cannot find anything that says something like "Insall additional language...". Something to that effect would be great.

Thanks in advance, Tony

Pascal is not widely used in Linux. The only IDE is lazarus. Pascal is quite dead now, it's not really used anymore. You should learn C++ or Python (Java if you are really desperate, but even if some like to code in Java, very few like to use Java app). KDevelop4 currently (fully) support two languages, C++ and PHP. KDevelop4 is mosly a rewrite of KDevelop3, so all have to be done again, everything is brand new or unwriten (for the best and the worst).

See, this is why I made the statement about how people feel about pascal. I do not believe that it is a dead language, I know that there are companies that still produce IDE's for it. I remember when "fortran" & "Cobalt" we're "dead", yet they are still around. So, I appreciate your response, but I dont feel that you read the question entirely, if you had, you would not have responded the way you did, if at all.

If, according to Elv13, there are no good Pascal dev tools in Linux, then how else to respond?

But, ELV13 did not say that there are no good development tools for pascal, he said pascal is dead, use something else. Again, I did not want opinions about how people feel about pascal, if I did, I would have titled the thread appropriately.

I think this is quite clear. I am a software developer, I work with a multitude of languages on Linux, some are on the rise, some are dieing and some have a non-existent active developer and application ecosystem, pascal is one of them. The only support you will get from the core KatePart team (I am one of them) is syntax highlighting and dictionary based auto completion. KDevelop support pluggable languages, but no one, as far I as know, is working on a Pascal plug-in.
