Needed the seed compiler 3.0.0 but advice here led me to where that could be fetched (important: It must be the 64 bit seed compiler!). So I followed my notes (actually a script) for installing FPC/Lazarus on RaspberryPi devices and it worked just fine. Had to change the Ubuntu desktop to xfce to get a decent start menu where I could install the start item for Lazarus 1.8.4. Now working fine! Source is the way to go! But I have another issue: My ported application uses Indy10 with the SMTP component and it must use SSL. On Windows I have put two SSL dll:s (libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll) in the executable dir in order to get that going, but on Linux I assume there is another way to get SSL connectivity into an application. Right now my converted application builds and runs up until the point where it shall connect to the mail server with POP3 over SSL when an exception is generated due to not finding SSL.... Unfortunately I have not found if there are some similar dll type files on Linux that I need for SSL... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
