More testing shows it does work with single char strings and does not with real strings. I still do not understand this, does someone know, why "StrComp" behaves this way?

[fpc-pascal] Tips on building OLEServer calls
Hello there, I'm trying to use FPC to compile and build an application that includes an COM type library. This type library was generated through Borland Delphi 7. When doing this through FPC it asks for OleServer, which then uses the TDispId class. Do you know if FPC can use OleServer, or does it have its own implementation of accessing COM or is there a way of generating a type library though FPC. Or what way would you recommend to do this? Thanks Mark ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Thanks for the quick response. I did read somewhere Jedi and FPC could do this together. Do you know anything about this?

Re: [fpc-pascal] string comparison with strcomp
Do you use that one with fpc? The source looks rather Delphi/Kylix'ish. Nope, but I guess you can find there the solution for it. Just get the GNUGetText.pas and look for changes made in version 1.2. Since this version GNUGetText supports UTF8 strings in strids. On the other hand I missed the possibility to "compile" a .po file in my application instead of loading a ready-made .mo file. So I started my own implementation (based on GNUGetText.pas, gettext.pp and the original implementation of GNU GetText). It will support the following features: - strids don't have to be "pure english" anymore - compile under delphi/fpc (win32 target strongly tested) - plural forms If you're interested I can give you some draft implementations that I've made.

Unfortunately not, it's been years since I looked at Jedi. AFAIK they're not very FPC minded.

Do I understand correctly that your implementation goal is to handle the creation of .mo files programmatically? This sounds interesting, but I'm under pressure of my deadline and the decision if I have to swap the base language or find an acceptable quick way of using german language as basis. Anything that can help me in reaching this goal is very much appreciated and will give me more time for other tasks. ;) Gruß, Marc ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
