Hi,
I have just installed Lazarus 0.9.18 beta / FPC 2.0.4 on Mandriva
2007.0 edition. I have also compiled FPC. There are some good news and
sad news:
GOOD NEWS: It works! You need the following links:
/usr/lib/libgdk.so -> libgdk-1.2.so.9.1
/usr/lib/libgtk.so -> libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so -> libgdk_pixbuf.so.2.0.0
Those files are available in the packages. Just the "find file name" in
the "Mandriva control center" / "install packages". Then add the
symbolic links in /usr/lib/
Also untar the file "fpc-src-2.0.3.source.gz"
in /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.0.4
SAD NEWS: I get the inferior look-and-feel for the GUI. The problem was
known in SUSE and other distributions. There were many messages about
this a while ago and I think that it is due to the old GTK-1 version not
being much supported by the distributions any more. I do not think that
there is any solution for that problem except to switch to GTK-2 when it
is ready!
I thought that some might have been interrested to know about all this.
Sincerely
Alain
