The anti-abuse line is a question to which you must answer.
You must not enter a new expression, you must enter the result of the writeln 
statement that you see there.
in my case that was abCD

The anti abuse is supposed to be a simple measure against spam bots
subscribing a lot of email addresses automatically.

Silliness aside

Writeln ('String1'+'String2');  merges the strings together and will 
output:  String1String2, it makes more sense if some strings are in 
variables, like Writeln(prefixstring+'string here'+suffixstring);

So given writeln('ab'+'CD'); you would get output of:  abCD

I think you are overcomplicating it,  the answer is always:abCDfor 
everyone... quite literally, just put in:

abCD

it will not accpt anything but abCD  make sure lowercase ab and uppercase CD
it's not a trick question, it's just a way of keeping bots from auto 
registering.If it won't accept abCD then try another browser perhaps.

Ahh, ok,  I see now.
Can we change the field caption to "Security question: What would be the

[fpc-pascal] FPC 3.0.4 on Ubuntu Trusty

[Darius Blaszyk]

As I don't have Trusty installed I thought I would ask here instead.
What is the most convenient way to install FPC 3.0.4 on Ubuntu Trusty?
Is it as simple as downloading and installing the deb/rpm package from
the website or is there a ppa somewhere for me to use? Does FPC 3.0.4
work on Trusty? The default on Trusty seems to be 2.6.4.

Hi,

My system is Ubuntu trusty (Xubuntu actually) and I have installed FPC 
2.6.2, 2.6.4, 3.0.0, 3.0.2, 3.0.4 and trunk, all of then work without 
problems.


About the best way to install it, I highly recommend to compile it from 
sources, it is the best way without any doubt.


Best Regards.

Thanks Victor! However, compiling from sources is not very practical for
me. I need to install the latest FPC for a Travis-CI build. So therefore
I need a binary distribution preferably. I did find this PPA btw:
https://launchpad.net/~ok2cqr/+archive/ubuntu/lazarus, which provides
FPC 3.0.0 for now. Is there an "official" PPA anywhere?

No.

We sometimes have .deb downloads on the website, but not always.

You're better off taking the .tar.gz. It should work on any linux system.

In the years that I still used Linux (Ubuntu) as my primary OS, I ALWAYS 
used the official Free Pascal console installer (never the bundled 
packages for FPC or Lazarus). Then simply used the apt-get package 
manager to install the dependencies:


  sudo apt-get install libX11-dev
  sudo apt-get install libXft-dev

That pulled in everything I needed to get a working development 
environment on Ubuntu. That way I could also install multiple version of 
FPC for testing.


Regards,
  Graeme

[fpc-pascal] Strange issue with TXMLConfig

[Darius Blaszyk]

All of a sudden I get a crash in my app trying to read a path from an
XML file. The crash comes from the function TDOMNamedNodeMap.Find that
crashes on this line: 

C := TDOMNode(FList.List^[I]).CompareName(name);

The strange thing is that a simplified example app does not crash! In
any case I'm 100% sure the path exists and either way even if it didn't
XMLConfig should not crash. The message form the lazarus code inspector
is: Type TDOMNODE has no component named COMPARENAME.The code also never
reaches the CompareName function when I set a breakpoint.

I'm at a loss. Is any one capable to understand what is happening?

Rgds, Darius

My code is:

c := cache.GetValue('filelist/item_1/crc', 0);

The XML is:



  

  


The BT is:
