[fpc-pascal] Problems with broken (or unclear) download urls for fpc-solaris
Hello, I wanted to download the latest freepascal for Sparc Solaris . Issue 1: Opened the http://www.freepascal.org/download.var, clicked on the "SPARC Solaris" link. It opened the page for selecting the mirror. Clicked on Sourceforge , which lead to : http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/ The problem here is that this page doesn't seem to contain any Solaris stuff . Issue 2: I went back to the mirror selection, and clicked on ftp.freepascal.org . This link is ok , but it contains the 2.4.2 sparc solaris FPC . This is not consistent with the main download page (http://www.freepascal.org/download.var) , which implies that 2.6.0 is available for the entire list of platforms and operating systems (which includes the SPARC solaris ... ). Perhaps it's worth taking a look at the download page , so that it presents in a clearer way which FPC version is available for each platform ? For example create a separate section for the less-supported platforms.The way it is now, it implies that 2.6 is available for all the platforms - which is unfortunately false. I currently have ssh access to some Sparc Solaris servers. Does it involve a lot of work to create the solaris builds ?

[fpc-pascal] Extended SVN class available
Working on fpcup, Ludo Brands and I extended the fppkg SvnCommand unit. Functionality: - detects svn clients automatically (even a few well-known if not in path on Windows); client path can be specified by user, too. - checkout, update commands; default HEAD, but you can specify a desired revision - lets you perform a checkoutorupdate command: updates a directory if possible, otherwise checks out (with HEAD/desired revision) - detects when you're trying to update an existing SVN repo with the wrong remote URL - detects when you're using an SVN client version that's too old to work with the remote server - get diffs for any local changes (including subdirectories) - revert command - command to get commit log - command to get local revision The code can be found in fpcup (e.g. https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/fpcup/src; you can also checkout with hg or download an archive with all files) in svnclient.pas and I hope it can be useful for others as well. It uses an extended TProcess unit, but used to be based on regular TProcess and should be adaptable quite quickly, if necessary. Comments, improvement ideas of course very welcome as well.

[fpc-pascal] Database questions re 21579: [Patch] Dbtestframework compilationf fixes for Win64
Hi list, I've submitted a patch (21579) to allow win64 dbtestframework compilation. It does that by disabling support for some databases. Oracle, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server and Sybase connectors are not built on Win64: see packages\fcl-db\src\sqldb\postgres\fpmake.pp Speculated with Lacak2 in mantis issue. I suspected they're disabled because of lack of driver/client support. Searched through FPC and FPC dev lists on Oracle 64 and found nothing.. If lack of driver/client support was the reason, the current situation may have changed: PostgreSQL 9 has support for Windows x64, e.g. http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgbindownload Oracle instant client for Windows x64 (the download size makes it... not so instant though) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html FreeTDS can, at least in theory, be compiled for Windows 64 bit systems. This covers MS SQL Server and Sybase. I'll leave the patch as is, unless driver support was the issue, in which case it might make sense to re-enable these connectors...

However you might find you have to work in a progression: 2.4.2 (possibly via 2.4.4) to 2.6.0 to 2.7.1.

If you have problems use the compiler's -vt switch, since this will give you a blow-by-blow account of what's being looked for: gmake NOGDB=1 OPT='-O- -gl -vt' all Note that there are some things that I haven't tested. For example, on various Linux targets I've got a (Lazarus) app that uses PostgreSQL's listen/notify with a lot of pointer checks etc...

[fpc-pascal] SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable
Hi,
I think SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable has a problem.
I tried to use GetEnvironmentVariable on WinXP and Win7. Sometimes
works on WinXP, others not. But never worked on Win7.
I asked some friends to test on Linux and did not work too.
My FPC is 2.6.1 rev 20648 on WinXP.
The test:
1- Create a Environment Variable (eg: FOO).
2- Try this:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
ShowMessage(SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable('FOO'));
end;

Just tested.
Works fine on linux, provided the environment variable is defined BEFORE
the program is started, and in the terminal that starts the program.
(perfectly normal on linux)
So if you run the program under the IDE, the environment variable must
be defined in the session that starts the IDE, BEFORE the ide is started.
Cannot comment on Windows, but I would be very surprised if it does not
work, since many of our programs rely on it.
There again, be careful WHEN you define the environment variable.
Before or after starting the application.
Michael.

I know that I have to define the environment variable before or after
starting the application or IDE.
As I said, works in WinXP... but I had a little problem with a client
using Win7 so, I talked about this on lazarus-br list and asked to
somebody do the test on Win7 and they said the test did not work so, I
wrote here.
