[fpc-pascal] Resetting the read only attribute

2006-08-01 Thread Arí Ricardo Ody

Is there a way to turn a 'read only' file to 'non-read only'???

Reading the manual I can't conclude how to do this... (I'm talking 
about windows XP files)

Hi.

You could use FileSetAttr('filename', faArchive)
method to set the attributes to archive and remove the
read only flag.

Remember to include SYSUTILS if you have not already
done so.

Thank you Ewald!

IMHO the manual is not clear in this matter(:-\).

I guess that it's mostly because attribute
setting isn't portable across platforms
(SysUtils.FileSetAttr always returns -1 on all
Unix platforms and Dos.SetFAttr is simply ignored
there). DOS-like (which includes Windows and
OS/2) attributes are partly emulated for
functions reading attributes, but their changes
cannot be emulated meaningfully (well, it might
be possible the other way round, i.e. emulating
the more complex/complete solution for writing
and the simpler one for reading, but the
usefulness would be probably questionable.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Compiling FPC for SPARC

2006-08-01 Thread Mark Morgan Lloyd
I'm hoping to be able to sit down tomorrow and read more documentation, but for
the moment here's where I'm at.

*  I can build i386 2.0.2 and appear to get something working out of it using
make cycle or make zipinstall. "Working" in this context is that it will
generate a runnable program from hello.pp and that the fp IDE appears OK.

*  If I run the tests (make full) on i386 2.0.2 I get a UML (User Mode Linux on
2.4.32) kernel crash on testfpuc.pp. I'll try and check this out on a "real"
system presently, I've found UML to be pretty robust but knowing the effort
that's going into FPC on i386 I'd suspect a kernel problem first.

*  On SPARC, I can build the 2.0.0 sources using the 2.0.0 compiler using make
cycle or make zipinstall. All tests complete although I've not gone into the
exact results of each yet.

More tomorrow.

Hello!

I tried to compile the daily snapshot from source and got the following
during compilation:

make.EXE[3]: Entering directory `D:/FreePascal/sources/fpc/compiler'
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), echo Start 12:42:49 now 12:43:09, ...)
failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make.EXE[3]: *** [echotime] Error 2


maybe you have delphi installed in your system?

what there is in your path?
