[fpc-pascal] Documentation site: incorrect manual name
On http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ I find FCL (Free Class Library) reference manual. however the doc itself (and the 2.6 PDF) specifies Free Component Library Could this be changed on the site? Does this need to be changed in Lazarus default online help settings as well?

Re: [fpc-pascal] Error: Duplicate identifier "FarPointer"
Same problem here but much funnier FPC message: Makefile:2704: *** The only supported starting compiler version is 2.7.1. You are trying to build with 2.6.2. If you are absolutely sure that the current compiler is built from the exact same version/revision, you can try to use OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 to override . Stop. So I had to use OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 to build my 2.7.1 with 2.6.2. IMHO that's not as intended. But it may be a problem of the create_fpc_deb script provided by Lazarus so from my side there is no need for any actions. Just wanted to share that funny message.

It is indeed a bug in Lazarus' build scripts (also for the rpms). For some reason they first replace a bunch of version numbers in the Makefile.

[fpc-pascal] Examples of tiOPF logging in the wild
Are there some examples of using tiOPF logging besides those in the demos? I want to use tiLogToGUI, but I am not happy with the amount of screen space it takes. Is there some way it can be adapted or themed to be tidier or smaller? The code gives the impression that it can be embedded or extended in another form or is that a misconception on my part? -- Frank Church === http://devblog.brahmancreations.com ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I think it's the documentation source that needs to be updated, FCL always means Free Component Library. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/Documentation-site-incorrect-manual-name-tp5714811p5714827.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I saw then: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/fcl/process/tprocess.options.html poNoConsole = Do not allow access to the console window for the process (Win32 only) So the "correct" is do not use poNoConsole! I saw after: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/fcl/process/tprocess.showwindow.html TProcess.ShowWindow = Determines how the process main window is shown (Windows only) I do not understood why the interface of TProcess have a property that only works on Windows... but works.

Yes, but your message could be interpreted as suggesting that this person, who was clearly calling Makefiles in subdirectories directly rather than using the top-level Makefile, should have first compiled the new compiler directly, and then compile the new RTL using this new compiler. Given the amazingly creative ways in which people manage to keep trying to compile FPC in unsupported ways, I did not want anyone to get the idea that this would be a good approach.
