What would be the procedure be for someone who has installed FPC from the binary distribution and downloaded the corresponding FPC sources to a directory, which has been configured in lazarus? I have not yet learned these tools (lazarus, fpc) fully because I am still avaluating them, so I have installed the FPC 2.4.2 release binary package and used svn to get the fixed lazarus. Therefore I have learned how to rebuild lazarus, but not FPC. Must one really rebuild the *compiler* to make a simple source change in a peripheral component work in a single lazarus project? My evaluation involves the following: - Possibility to transfer code from Delphi 7 - GUI application compatibility (simple graphics and listview handling) - Handling of serial ports - Database functionality - Cross-compilation for the embedded ARM platform - etc I am currently stuck in the database evaluation because the SQLdb component does not allow returning records from an EXEC call into an MSSQL Server database engine. This is what this is all about fixing. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
