The multilog package requires only a recent fpc. It's also possible to use under Delphi (The Delphi executable sends the messages to a file or to a viewer compiled with Lazarus). The "high 3rd party requirement" is for the complete viewer. A simple viewer requires only Lazarus. It can send messages through one or more channels. Currently its implemented the file and IPC (SimpleIPC) channels. Implementing a new (Console) channel is trivial. See the file channel. It also provides several helper methods to control with fine granularity what messages to send. Some of then can be seen at http://code.google.com/p/luipack/wiki/MultiLog, but must of them are not documented. In the demos some other possibilities are explored. As example, it's possible to restrict to send only the messages that are called below a method/function call stack. Also the ability to attach a message to more than one class, together with the DefaultClasses and ActiveClasses property provides many ways to filter the messages, depending only of the imagination of the programmer. I used a lot to debug event messages (generally recursive) in LCL. Even in fpGui i used to debug the size behavior in Xlib/Win32 ;-). > Even so, I might steal > some ideas from the core code and implement them in tiOPF's logging. > :-) > Fell free to do it.
