Hope is an open source Object Pascal development environment based on DWScript.
In order to compiler, debug and build HOPE, a recent Delphi version is required. While the code is generally written in a rather portable way, at least XE2 is required so far. In the future it should also compile under FPC.
To build the project first clone the repository with
git clone git://github.com/Walibeiro/Hope.git
All required submodules will be downloaded as well (this may take a while)
After that you should be able to open and build the project file Source\Hope.dproj
Feel free to fork this repository and alter what ever you want. However, in order to get pull requests accepted, the changes must comply to a few rules:
- The code should not use the latest edge language feature
- The code must be clean and commented
- The code must be formated according to the Object Pascal Style Guide (see http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/10280)
- The code should be written with portability in mind (Lazarus / Linux, OSX)
So far no prebuilt binaries are available. However, as soon as the project will reach an alpha state, prebuilt binaries will be made available.
This project is licensed under GPL. It is mainly because I think development tools should be open to everyone.
