However, I now have an lNet tab on my component palette! Question: Is there supposed to be some indication towards the user that something is going on when a package is being compiled or installed? If not then I suggest that it is added to Lazarus. If thers is a message then I certainly saw nothing, so could it be platform dependent (Raspberry Pi2/Raspbian Jessie in my case) or display dependent (tightvnc server on RPi2 and VNC client on Win7 laptop)? I installed FPC 3.0.0 and Lazarus 1.6RC2 from svn sources. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
