Note that not all Lazarus projects are affected by this. The project I am looking at, which prompted me to update Raspbian, was supplied by a person at the fpc list in regard to controlling the hardware on an RPi from Pascal. Apparently there is an improvement in the access possibilities for the GPIO functionality in the latest Raspbian where one can even connect via the network and switch on/off outputs and read inputs. The provider had ported some C code library to FreePascal and claims that it is now very simple to access the GPIO even via the network. Since I am programming the Pi using rather much of the GPIO to control relays and stuff I was interested in testing it out, but first it would not build because of the lack of the support functions in my Raspbian version and after the update it builds but would not start due to the gdb problems. I still can use my old code going directly to memgpio to switch the relays, though, so it is no showstopper. I probably will not spend much more time on this now since I am soon away for a week-long trip. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
