I am again very confused about how Lazarus works. First I created a GUI program to test TCP port forwarding using the Indy10 component TIdMappedPortTCP. Indy 10 is installed in my Lazarus.
I created a class to encapsulate the functionality and this class uses the IdMappedPortTCP file from Indy. All went well and now I am trying to move this over to a non-GUI program, so I created a new "Program" in Lazarus and saved it to the same directory as my earlier GUI test. I also entered the tcpmapper into the program uses clause and proceeded to define a variable of the class in tcpmapper to handle the processing. Lazarus does find tcpmapper, and parses its code. But now it all breaks down! I can for the life of me not get tcpmapper to pass the compiler even though it did when used from the GUI application! It complains about not finding IdMappedPortTCP. I have googled and looked at old list messages but to no avail. The closest I got was someone telling me that Lazarus will handle this fine if only the lpk file is opened once. So I selected File/Open and navigated to the Indy10 installation dir and opened the IndyLaz.lpk file and then closed it. No difference at all! The used unit cannot be found.... So it seems like if one creates a non-GUI application in Lazarus then the packages installed in Lazarus are not available anymore. :( Note: the Indy10 components are all non-GUI in the first place and I usually always create them in code.
