fpGUI now has a fully working fpmake.pp file with unit dependencies. I could successfully do a 'fpmake archive' , unpack in temp folder, 'fpmake build' & 'fpmake install' without problems. fpmake install did try and install to /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.4.3/units/..../fpgui which it didn't have write access, so i use -B parameter to redirect it to /opt/fpc-addons/ which worked fine. I was just about to comment that it would be nice if we could see what version of the package we have installed, then I saw the fpunit.conf file which gives all the details, including a nice checksum. :-) Cool. One small thing I did notice is the fpmake was not so happy with fpGUI's version numbering. I let fpmake.pp read the version number constant from the fpGUI src directory include file. fpGUI version format is: '0.7.166.g010ab'; 0.7 is the major an minor number (the last release). 166 is the number of commits since 0.7 release g010ab is the commit id (short version of SHA1 identifying specific revision) Normally a script file automatically generates the version number for me, when I build fpGUI. fpmake trimmed that version number down to 0.7.0.0 What version number formats does fpmake support. eg: some projects use a date (v0.7-2010-09-03), others use r<subversion_commit> (v0.7.r43234) etc.. So maybe fpmake should be more flexible with the last two areas of the version number? Just a thought. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
