[Lazarus] Lazarus on Raspberry Pi

[John via lazarus]

Hi All,

I haven't been active on this list for a long time, but I have been
still been using FPC/Lazarus - many thanks to all who who have been
making all the improvements.

I recently dipped my toe into Raspberry Pi, and successfully built
FPC (3.0.4) / Laz (2.0.8) using the instructions here:

https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Build_current_FPC_and_Lazarus_for_Raspbian

I have just upgraded my installation using the previously built FPC
(3.0.4) to build FPC 3.2.0 / Laz 2.0.10 (rather than go through the
process of getting the bootstrap compiler again as per the instructions)
I presume this is legitimate - it certainly worked - and if so, would it
be worth my writing this up on the wiki ?  I was all set to do so, but
I noticed a note at the end of the process suggesting one should repeat
the entire process each time.

cheers,
John Sunderland

[Lazarus] GlobalMemoryStatus is Windows only, how to get installed RAM on Linux ?

[Landmesser John via Lazarus]

googled in vain ...

... and "TsmBios" ( -> Win/Linux https://github.com/RRUZ/tsmbios ) won't 
compile :-(



So how to get Information about installed RAM on Linux for example?

Ok, i could grep "hwinfo" or such in a terminal but thats not what i'm 
looking for.


Tipps are welcome

[Lazarus] Howto disable Lazarus IDE using a XFCE dark theme

[Landmesser John via Lazarus]

New Linux Distro Manjaro-XFCE and i use a dark theme.

But that dark theme is bad for Lazarus IDE.

Can i change that as an option for compiling the IDE?

With Debian KDE there was in KDE Settings an option to prevent gtk-Apps 
using color-settings.


Perhaps an option in XFCE-Settings?

I'll keep on googling ...

Tipps are welcome!

Re: [Lazarus] Howto disable Lazarus IDE using a XFCE dark theme

[Landmesser John via Lazarus]

Thanks for your answers!

I reverted XFCE color scheme dark to normal ... no trouble any more :-)

Example:

TStringGrid.AlternateColor := clMoneygreen -> unreadable with a dark 
color scheme -> white font on white background,

The issue here is that the native theming clashes with some built in 
Lazarus settings. E.g. if you look at the link I posted that showcases 
SynEdit color schemes you will notice there is an image asset that 
does not blend in well with dark backgrounds.


These issues are typical, but they mean Lazarus does not currently 
support a native look and feel.


I don't doubt you are relaying the developer's statements accurately, 
but this probably needs to be looked at again.


Integrated theming is a good idea because unless all assets are 
obtained from the windowing toolkit then there is no way to know they 
will mesh well with a given color scheme. The theming support could be 
very minimal, and might amount to a few sets of bitmap assets and a 
review of existing UI code to ensure there are no hardcoded settings.



OP, if you could supply screenshots it would be appreciated.

Respectfully,

True. Feel free to improve the heuristic.


I think a newline should break searching for existing parameters in this case.

Maybe better: "when the closing bracket is missing, a newline should
break".


When a user wants to insert template parameters, he typically has no
existing parameters at that point.
If he has existing parameters, then he uses Ctrl-Space and
Ctrl-Shift-Space to modify / verify them.

You can't use Ctrl-Space to add v2.

Hey guys. I wrote this web tool a while ago which emulates a desktop 
application in a few ways and wanted some feedback.


http://storage.codebot.org

login: tester
password: funkytown

The tool is a private cloud file server application. People will be 
able to get the source and configure it on their web server so that 
they can backup/share/transfer files to themselves or among friend. 
The admin account can manage users, their rights, and storage limits.


What I've tried to do with this app is emulate a desktop application a 
bit, which might be similar to a desktop app written with Lazarus.


Features:

You can drag and drop files or click to browse for uploads. Large 
uploads can be resumed if you close the page before the upload 
completes. Uploads can be paused and resumed.


The selection in file list can be navigated with up down and page up 
down arrow keys. Shift multi selects both with the mouse and keyboard. 
Control can toggle select on individual items.


Some files including video and audio can be viewed. It has code for 
http stream allowing seeking to positions in large video files without 
the need to download. Multi select can be used to create play lists. 
If you select a group of songs, then open the song and play it will 
continue playing the next song when the current song is done.


Enter selects items/ Function keys F2 renames inline, F3 search 
filters, F4 gives the option to turn sharing on/off (works with 
multiselect). File columns can be sorted.


The front end code was written using my own typescript library.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Everyone!

I am using Lazarus 1.8 on Linux Mint.  I would like to use the 
Windows.Beep( Freq, Duration) function, or (if not available) 
SysUtils.Beep subprograms.


Simplest problem.  SysUtils.Beep compiles and links but is silent.

Slightly more difficult (according to StackOverflow)

I should be able to insert (manually) Windows in the uses clause, then 
call the windows.beep( f, d) function, but fcp can't find Windows even 
though there are several windows.pp files in the fpcscr directories.


Failing that, the article says:

|functionBeep(dwFreq,dwDuration:DWORD):BOOL;stdcall;external'kernel32.dll';|

should work, but it causes a linker error after compilation.  I don't 
have lernel32.dll on my Linux system.


A long time ago, I used the Windows.Beep (on windows) to produce Morse 
Code error messages while debugging visual components.  I would like 
to do that now if possible, but on Linux.


Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don Ziesig

Hi Ondrej,

compiled with

Issue is fixed if you open ZConnection.Properties once, so must be

TZConnection is not a part of Lazarus/LCL. So you should first 
investigate if the problem is in ZEOS.


If you don't think the bug is in ZEOS, the bug will be in FPC because 
component streaming is part of FPC. In this case, download trunk FPC 
(over SVN), build Lazarus with it and test  - if the bug still 
persists, create a simple test case program without any dependencies 
and create a bug report for FPC project in mantis.

Fixed in r57871, if you mean "some component icons are not showing" 
and not "no components icons are showing". If you mean the latter, I

In a StringGrid without(!) defined columns you never see that up and

It's ok if you define at least one column, but i think that shouldn't 
be this way.


Attached patch comments out

My first patch :-)

[Lazarus] Windows and german Umlauts: why do i have to PWideChar(UTF8Decode(String)) and not UTF8ToAnsi(String)

[Landmesser John via Lazarus]

I know how to deal with german Umlauts but I would like to understand.

Think of a  *.csv file that contains strings like "Grünberg" and that 
has to be opened in Excel ( Office 2003 ).


It works if i use PWideChar(UTF8Decode(String)). Got this tipp here in 
the mailinglist!


But  UTF8ToAnsi(String) fails.

Why is UTF8ToAnsi(String) not enough?

LHelp tells me about  UTF8ToAnsi():
"Utf8ToAnsi converts an utf8-encode unicode string to an ansistring. It 
converts the string to a widestring and then converts the widestring to 
an ansistring."


That is NOT  the same as  PWideChar(UTF8Decode(String))?

Tipps are welcome.

Thank you!!

Obviously, because one produces an 8-bit string and the other a 16-bit
string. How do you compare the result?


I compare the results by open the *.csv file in Excel 2003 and see no 
correct "Grünberg"
Note: my Editor "TextPad" shows  "PC UTF8" as file encoding if i use 
UTF8ToAnsi.



What compiler version?


Sorry,  forgot  that:

Lazarus 1.7 latest trunk FPC 3.0.0 i386-win32-win32/win64

Windows XP


Are you using LazUTF8?


Where to look for that?
"Alle Dateien haben bereits die richtige Kodierung" -> UTF8


  What is your DefaultSystemCodePage?

Mattias


in Systemsettings language its: "Automatisch ( oder Englisch)"


So the answer seems to be:
"one produces an 8-bit string and the other a 16-bit "

[Landmesser John via Lazarus]

Thanks guys for your effort ... i stay with 
PWideChar(UTF8Decode(String)) that works for me :-))


At the moment there is no need to know the details of character encoding 
history in computer science.

[Lazarus] When will the lazarus archive been gzip'd again?

[Landmesser John via Lazarus]

Hi,

the gzip'd archive stops at May 2016. When will the Lazarus archives 
afterwards be gzip'd ?


I use the very useful "Lazarus Mailinglist Reader" and that needs these 
gzip'd archives.


Isn't that done automatic? Does the gzip'd stops due to an error?

[Lazarus] IDE and gtk2 themes for Windows XP

[Landmesser John via Lazarus]

Hi,

does Lazarus use gtk2 widgets on Windows XP?

Are there gtk2 themes available for Windows XP?

Lazarus IDE look:



I think that looks ugly?!

Googled a bit, found this:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GTK2_Interface#Themes

.. looks better, but howto use it for the Lazarus IDE itself?

Info:
Lazarus 1.7 svn FPC 3.0.0 i386-win32-win32/win64

Also searched the Lazarus Mailing List archive, never discussed?

Compile options Lazarus:



Tipps are welcome :-)
