Re: [fpc-pascal] Compiling FPC for SPARC
on't bother with Solaris in 2.0.x, it won't work at all. None of the Solaris fixes from 2.1.1 have been merged On a positive note, Sparc/Solaris works fine in 2.1.1 I tried to merge it in the past but aborted it. The Solaris RTL changes had a too much conflicts to qualify for a merge to 2.0.x. The sparc compiler codegenerator in 2.0.x and 2.1.1 are almost identical so there is not much of a difference between 2.0.x and 2.1.1 for the sparc. And therefor it is recommended to use 2.1.1.

[fpc-pascal] Magnifier vs xmag
Hi, I used xmag a lot while coding my new widget set. It's used to make sure I am drawing the widgets correctly. What does the Magnifier tool written in FPC/Lazarus offer compared to xmag. Example: * Anything that Magnifier does that xmag doesn't? * Can Magnifier also show the pixel RGB values, etc. PS: Anybody know or written a tool that can pick a color from anywhere in the desktop? I am using Linux. Gimp has a color picker, but it only works inside a image, and to take a screenshot and then load Gimp just to pick a color is to much work!

What does the Magnifier tool written in FPC/Lazarus offer compared to xmag. Example: * Anything that Magnifier does that xmag doesn't? Unlike most similar programs the magnifier does not open a separate window for the magnification but instead puts a movable magnifying glass on screen. So I would say this makes it easier to use. I allows to dinamically change the magnification factor while magnifying and can be controles with the keyboard. It is cross-platform (currently with binaries to win32, freebsd and linux, but should work on mac os x with Gtk too and on windows CE). It also includes full user-friendly documentation. More features on the website: http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/ * Can Magnifier also show the pixel RGB values, etc. The stable version can do that only on Windows. I just commited a patch that makes it also work on Unixes. It will require at least Lazarus 0.9.16 to work correctly. Go to: sourceforge.net/projects/magnifier/ and click on CVS. There you can find very easy instructions to download the source code from CVS. You can compile it with a simple make, or opening the project on Lazarus IDE. You also need to install it before using, with make install. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

I feel like Mattias doing that. To show the RGB value of the pixel you need to select the Graphical Tools option on the menu of the magnifier on the system tray. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

So I would say this makes it easier to use. Thanks for the info Felipe. Looking at the website, and the above mentioned feature (replicating a real-world magnifying glass). How do you magnify something in the extreme corners of the screen? Doesn't it magnify whatever is behind the centre of the magnifying window? With the xmag tool, it changes the cursor the a TopLeft (corner) cursor, so it is easy to magnify screen corners or screen edges. One last question (I guess I must try it out to answer the rest of my questions). I gather it works like a real-world magnifying glass. Where you move the window, it magnifies the background. Can you lock/freeze the image, and move the window do a different location? PS: It looks pretty cool though and I like the idea that it is cross-platform.

Yes, it magnifies from the centre of the glass, but the glass can be partially outsite the desktop area, so we acctually cover the entire screen. Just try it and this questions should be solved. the xmag tool, it changes the cursor the a TopLeft (corner) cursor, so it is easy to magnify screen corners or screen edges. To magnify a screen edge with the magnifier, just move the mouse to it. Can you lock/freeze the image, and move the window do a different location?

[fpc-pascal] MySQL3, MySQL4, and MySql5 - Micha Might have answer
I heard from Michael Van Canneyt, or Micha, in an email not to long ago, that the MySQL5 FPC unit is available and has been for awhile. My attempts at finding it have been fruitless. Question: Does anyone know where I can find the MySQL5 FPC unit that succeeds MySql4 FPC unit? Thank You Micha for help so far! Thanx all of you in advance (if/when you reply ;) --- Now for some rambling --- BEGIN I just wanted to report that I was able to resurrect my old MySQL 3 wrapper (wraps the FPC MySQL/MySQL3 unit) using the FPC 2.0.2 version - COOL! I was also able to make a new wrapper around the FPC MySQL4 unit using FPC 2.0.2 version - COOL once again! This was just like Micha said! The only real big difference is how you connect.. but the calls are mostly the same. The biggest difference, is that version 3 of mysql required you maintain a pointer per connection - and this pointer was passed to every MySQL call. The version 4 is ALMOST the same except there are now two pointers that seem to matter most: 1 is, forgive my ignorance, but, seems to me... to be a MYSQL CLIENT internal GLOBAL pointer to some internal structure that you initialize with a mysql_init call. The other(s), are (an) individual pointer for each/your connection (you) make, and these connection pointers can be used to get meta data available about these connection(s) by passing them to certain mysql_? functions.
