Can you also send me the complete configuration you used ?

The setup:

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
Raspbian Jessie (Debian version 8.0)
Lazarus 1.2.4+dfsg2-1 (It is the version available on their repository. Call me lazy :) fpc 2.6.4+dfsg-4+rpi1 (Again, it is the version available on their repository.)

I have update the repository to include the Raspberry Pi example.

Thank you.


I would like to write an article for Blaise Pascal magazine, the editor
will
be very pleased to hear this, he has been asking for it since a long
time :)

Nice :)

The supplied example does not work out of the box because the gtk
based form viewer component isn't working with the raspberry pi. I had
to replace it with a bgrabitmap based one. That adds one more
dependency. Do you have any suggestion for a fpc "native" alternative?

You mean an image component ? What is missing in the ones in fpImage ?

When I was investigating fpImage, in the wiki (ttp://wiki.freepascal.org/fcl-image) came across with this: "fcl-image is written for maximal portability and maintainability and is quite slow. The main storage type is 16-bit RGBA, storing always 64-bit per pixel, and a function is called to get each pixel."

That information is old and outdated. You can perfectly have other storage formats in any buffer you like.

But a dependency on bgrabitmap is not the end of the world.

Michael.
