Euler problem 11.5

A project created by using Lazarus on one platform can be compiled on any other one which Free Pascal compiler supports. For desktop applications a single source can target macOS, Linux, and Windows, with little or no modification. An example is the Lazarus IDE itself, created from a single code base and available on all major platforms including the Raspberry Pi.

To edit Lazarus code in Emacs:

1. Open Emacs’ initialization file, whose location should be

~/.emacs

2. Add the follwing code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(defmacro compile-with (command-string)

  `(progn

    (save-buffer)

    (unless visual-line-mode
      (visual-line-mode 1))

    (universal-argument)

    (compile ,command-string)))

(defmacro defcomp (fn command-string kbd-string)

  `(progn

     (defun ,fn ()

       (interactive)

       (compile-with ,command-string))

     (global-set-key (kbd ,kbd-string) ',fn)))

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(defcomp g-la-com

    (concat
     "lazbuild "
     (replace-regexp-in-string
      "pas" "lpi" buffer-file-name))

    "C-x C-p")

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(defcomp g-la-run

    (replace-regexp-in-string
     ".pas" "" buffer-file-name)

    "C-x C-[")

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

3. Close Emacs.

4. Use the Lazarus IDE to create a console project named p11.

5. Close Lazarus.

6. Use Emacs to open the file p11.pas.
