Hi Michael, I tried to install a package using the package manager (Brook framework). > The package manager tells me the compile failed. > How can I see what the actual error is ? > The Message Window is not obscured by OPM, usually I check the error messages there. Ideally you shouldn't see any error messages :), however there are too many Lazarus/FPC version/widgetsets. I cannot check each package on every single platform. This should be the package maintainers job. In Lazarus trunk there is a small improvement though, if a package is not tested against a specific widgetset/Laz/FPC version, OPM will warn you, that the package compile might fail.
Or must I open the package manually, compile manually to see the error ? > If so, why isn't there a 'open this package' entry in the list of packages > ? > This is a good idea, I can add an "open this package" entry. have no easy way of locating the package. > In the options, I found where the OLPM downloads the packages, > but to get there on a mac involves an insane amount of clicking, > provided I managed to remember the location where the package is supposed > to > be... > Please click the "Local Repo" button(see attachment) , it will open a file manager window with the folder where the packages are installed. regards, Balázs.
