[fpc-pascal] fpcmake questions
I have two questions regarding FPCMake. 1. Whe I do an FPCMake I get the following error; Processing Makefile.fpcError: Target "win32", package "rtl" not found What is causing this error, what does it mean? 2. I'm using the LCL in my application and I need to enter it as a unitdir for the compiler. The problem is however that if anyone else wants to use the makefile he needs to modify this path and run FPCmake again. Is there a way to get around this? Can I use a config file with these paths for example? Or is it possible to use a environment variable?

Re: [fpc-pascal] fpcmake questions
Hi Darius, I had the same issue ... Is my emails on the 9th July in FPC-Devel mailing list. Titled "fpcmake keeps failing". I had the FPCDIR set wrong... It must point to the fpc source directory and not the fpc root directory.. export FPC=/opt/fpc-2.1.1/bin/ppc386 export FPCDIR=/opt/fpc-2.1.1/src Regards, Graeme.

[fpc-pascal] X Windows and FPC
Hi, I found this 121 page document on the Internet, but I don't understand Russian (or whatever it is written in). I seems to cover a lot about X Windows programming in FPC. Anybody know if there is an English translation floating around somewhere? I have the document in PDF format called xwinfpc.pdf (unfortunately I never saved the original download link).

Re: [fpc-pascal] X Windows and FPC
Thanks Marc... My current source of documentation has been the Man pages for XLib on some internet website. Other than that, Google is my friend! Maybe installing the complete X11 Dev man pages locally is a good idea. Regards, Graeme.

Also note step 8 it is very treacherous. The 10th step can nowdays (all versions after medium july) be done by passing -XLAc=c,dl and -XLAgtk=gmodule,gtk or so. Same for step 12. Note that in the 10th step I do three things, IIRC - The -FL sets the place where the loader on the target should look for the dnyamic linker. - The -Xr causes it to also search /usr/lib for anything it needs. - The -Fl points to the directory where I stored the copies of the libs. Note that I sometimes renamed the copied libs a bit to match the names it searches. Also note this remark: Making mistakes with renaming is not that bad, there will be chances to fix it. Make sure all crt* and a file "libc.so" are available, otherwise generating link.res will go wrong. (Yes, Peter, that was my fault :-) In case you added parameter by parameter, clean, and try to build again with all relevant parameters. The compiler on Linux makes some decisions based on the existance of some of these files. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Get one of them (from the CVS of X[.org|free86] ?) and see for yourself. They normally get installed with the X11 dev packages. No? Graeme, you can also use SDL as a portable windowing system. The upside is you get a lot of flexibility with the passing of events (eg: you can pass it down the widget tree) . The downside is sometimes the apps look imprisoned inside the SDL window especially in the presence of a floating tool bar. Pixel though looks great on three major platforms :) Cheers, Krishna -- First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. - Mahatma Gandhi ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Re: [fpc-pascal] X Windows and FPC
What are your thoughts on msegui, also a gui library on top of xlib and gdi ? To be honest, I haven't really looked at it much... maybe I should look at it again. The bit I did see, it looked to alien (different) compared to the native looks on different platforms. It does support themeing, so that might be able to sort that problem. The other thing is that I really like Lazarus. I feel very at home with it, as I come from a Delphi background. As I mentioned earlier, I have a long term goal of incorporating my widget set into Lazarus. The way msegui was designed (not based on VCL at all - which is not a bad thing in itself) it will be a nightmare to try and integrate into Lazarus. One thing I can say - I take my hat off for Martin and what he has accomplished all on his own.

Downloaded and tried the win32 version. On a 1280x1024 screen, the widgets look very small and the widget colors looks very dull in comparison with other controls on XP. Martin, how difficult it is to change the looks? Personally, I like the BeOS look.
