Re: [fpc-pascal] Interface with NASM
I changed it to a very similar program, but one which can be built
with a single instruction:
program driver;
uses asmio;
{$ASMMODE Intel}
procedure tes; assembler; [alias:'tes'];
asm
push ebp
mov ebp,esp
mov EAX,65
push EAX
call printc
leave
ret
end;
begin
tes;
end.
It crashes inside printc apparently when getting the parameter.

[fpc-pascal] Command line or CGI Printing
Hi, I'm looking for a way to send images to a printer without using the Printers unit. I can't use it because it relies on X (on Linux) and I need to print from a CGI or command line application, that must be installed on servers without X installed. Does FPC have a workaround for this? Leonardo M.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Command line or CGI Printing
Nice!, and is it possible to send the bitmap data to lpr through a pipe?. Something like "cat myfile.bmp|lpr". This doesn't work, it just prints garbage, maybe "cat" is handling the file as text. I'm asking this because I don't want to create the file, then print it, then delete it, much better if I just create a TMemoryStream and send it to lpr. Leonardo M.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Command line or CGI Printing
You can't use pipes. lpr relies on the file extension to determine the file type and invoke the proper filter. When using pipes, it assumes postscript AFAIK. In each case creating the file doesn't hurt. LP will create a file anyway. Michael. On Wed, 15 Sep 2010, Leonardo M.

You can print stdout output of a program like that. eg: myprogram | lp > Something like "cat myfile.bmp|lpr". This doesn't work, it just prints > garbage, maybe "cat" is handling the file as text. Yeah, I think cat treats it like text then. So your best bet I think is to do: lp myfile.bmp Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
