Hi,
Using FreePascal, I'm trying to compile an open source project written
originally in Delphi 6.
Some units require Winprocs, for accessing
functions such as GetPrivateProfileString. I didn't find it amongst
FreePascal's installed units. I searched it in Google and got a WinProcs
unit from the following adress, but FPC gives lots of errors while
trying to compile it:
http://inf.unisul.br/~osmarjr/download/delphi/units/winprocs.zip
Where can I get either WinProcs or something equivalent for FreePascal ?
The function GetPrivateProfileString is in the fpc Windows32 API
Library. A quick look to Winprocs shows that also other functions
defined there should be in the windows unit.
A "uses windows" clause in place of "uses Winprocs" should solve your
problem (hopefully :-) )
A hint. Even if you're not using GUI, you may take advantage of Lazarus
to help you in may ways. Lazarus IDE has:
a powerful "Find in files" tool, which makes it possible to quickly
locate the units you need (it was a matter of seconds to locate the
function you required)
a powerful editor: you just pass the cursor over a string and a pop-up
will tell you where the variable/function/object is defined. Right click
and you may "find declaration": it'll open the file for you positioned
at the definition. Right click again and "jump to procedure", etc etc.
You may use Lazarus IDE to set your project options, your compiler
options, to create clean packages which include all the relevant
information
