[fpc-pascal]Linker error under FreeBSD

2003-07-09 Thread Karim Forsthofer
Hello 

I tried to compile a program with fpc (for FreeBSD). 
The objectfile was build, but the linker put an error msg on the screen. 
linking
/usr/bin/ld cannot find -ldl 
ehh ? 
I looked in the /usr/bin dir, the gnu linker is there. What`s the problem ?

Re: [fpc-pascal]TRegistry unit not functional on win32?

 Aloha,

 I'm trying to use the TRegistry object of fpc 1.0.6 for Win32 on Win2k
 to check for the presence of a particular key,
 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys' and value
 name '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:ahost.ourdomain.com'.

 I've studied the Registry unit's source from \source\fcl\inc\registry.pp
 and the Borland Delphi 2.0 VCL help file but can't get anything but lies
 from my code.

 A simple test program and runtime output below illustrates the problem.
 No matter what I enter, the program indicates that the key exists and that
 it has no subkeys and no values.  Since the keys are supposed to be relative
 to the base or root key, I know that there is no nada key but that there
 is a Software key with many subkeys and values.

 Is this unit supposed to be functional?  Any idea how I can perform this
 simple existence test if Registry isn't functional?

The official 1.0.6 release didn't contain a functional registry unit.
However, the latest sources do contain a version that works on Windows
and on Linux. You can always download the latest sources and compile the
unit yourself.

Michael.

RE: [fpc-pascal]Need packages.zip , link is down.

2003-07-09 Thread Lee, John
You can get the whole of the current v10 or v11 source from
ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v11/source or /v10/source in fpc.zip, or
you can get packages.zip from these directories too... 

The ftp site has been down for a few days but seems ok at the moment. hth

Hello 

I need the packages.zip from the fpc page. But the download link is not up
since a long time.
Is there an other link, or can anybody send it to me ? That would be great.
By the way, a lot of download links (mirrors) are down on the fpc page. I
only found my FreeBSD fpc Version avaliable on the japan pub.

Is the unit verified to work on Win NT?? (i.e. NT4 - XP) because the 9x
registry is different to the NT one. Could be a security issue.

I develop on NT, so it definitely works on NT :-)

[fpc-pascal]New to the list/question

2003-07-09 Thread Kevin Monceaux
Pascal enthusiasts,

I'm new to the list and just wanted to introduce myself.  I got my first
tast of Pascal in college on a VAX 11/750 under the VMS operating system.
Nowdays Linux is my preferred platform.  I was thrilled to discover Free
Pascal.  It's like becoming reacquanted with an old friend.  I have one
question.  Are there any modules available to easily create text based
user interfaces?  I know now days everyone prefers GUI interfaces.  For
quick data entry one can't beat a good old text based user interface.



Thanks,

Kevin

[fpc-pascal]FORTRAN-like read

2003-07-09 Thread Alan Mead
I want to provide a formatted read like FORTRAN's.  I have found a
public-domain implementation but it concatenats the input data as
bytes, making assumptions about the endian-ness and size of various
types.  The alternatives I've devised are (1) returning a sequence of
strings or (2) a linked list of records.  

Is there a way, possibly an OOP way, of representing a sequence of
values of arbitrary type?  

Thanks!

Alan,

I'm looking for something with some form of form management capabilities.
Something that would let one define a form, add some widgets to the
form, then call a function to handle user input, navigating between
widgets, and the like.

 All your programs will, by default, be console applications that use
 write/writeln and read/readln.  There is also a few flavors of the
 CRT unit containing more advanced console-based primitives like
 ReadKey() and Window().

I would suggest using nCurses, there is a pascal unit available for this
