I wanted to know if anyone reported a bug that has to do with include files and the helper component that consistently crashes the IDE. I had dealt with this bug for the past few weeks. It wasn't until I ran ./startlazarus from command prompt that showed me that a unit referencing an include unit could not be found. I solved the problem by adding the path of the include file to the IDE paths in project options/paths but I wonder if a certain user segment is experiencing this issue.
This was a trivial error that was easily solved once I knew what the problem was. The fact remains that the IDE should have displayed a dialog box telling me the path needed to be added to that path option so the IDE can function properly. I had to deal with this problem for a week and it was always crashing my Lazarus. Man... I kept doing svn updates for FPC and Lazarus and I think I'm a bit frustrated at the fact that the problem was so simple to solve, and the crash was totally avoidable. I'm thinking that if possible, we should re-think the logic of paths. It's ok to have a seperate option but for bare minimums, behind the scenes, perhaps we could use an aggregate or at least a dialog box saying project unit "whatever.pas" includes "include.inc" and cannot be located. Please set a path reference in the IDE path options for this project. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
