Hi, having not made any visual components since Delphi2 I have to ask:
1. When I want to install a visual component to lazarus, does it need to have a package file (.lpk) or is the classic way of installing from the components source file(s) still available? 2. When I make a package file for an ancient Delphi component to port to lazarus and it compiles and installs but doesnt show up in the IDE although it is found in the package list, what has gone wrong there? The long story for question 2: I made a package for the component, converted the dfm to lfm, fixed some code and commented things for later until it compiles okay. A resource file is included directly without converting to .lrs because I read in the wiki this is possible and I don't know how to extract what is in the .res-file. Then I klicked "install" at the package management window. When asked if I want lazarus to be built now I clicked yes and compilation ran through until lazarus ended. When trying to start the freshly compiled ide his error happens: $ lazarus Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 78 in file /usr/src7/src/lib/libthr/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 2) Abbruch(core dumped) Aftwerwards I did a "gmake bigide" in lazarus source dir to get a working thingy again, which worked and ran fine. With one exception: the new package does not show up, it's state is still set to "install on next start", but nothing happens when started over. All that occured with: Lazarus svn 25285 and 25631 fpc 2.4.0 FreeBSD 7.2 -- Marc Santhoff <[email protected]> -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
