Well, I found a bug in Lazarus 1.9 that I thought went away with
Lazarus 1.2.
It is not a bug in the code, just a very obscure and not well documented
checkbox that only appears when the particular file is selected in the
Package dialog. The option is "Register unit" and it must be checked so
the IDE knows what to do with it.
I am in the process of refactoring the code from libraries I created
in Delphi back in the early 1990's (I learned a lot since then :-D).
I created a package, and copied a previously working component's .pas
file into its directory, then added it to the package itself. The
Package compiles with no errors.
When I clicked on Use | Install, I got the error message:
/The package arsmagicagui does not have any "Register" procedure,
which typically means, it does not provide any IDE addon. Installing
it will probably only increase the size of the IDE and may even make
it unstable./
Within the component code I have:
procedure Register;
implementation
uses
LazLogger,
Math;
procedure Register;
begin
RegisterComponents('Ars Magica',[TAMFormPanel]);
end;
Within the package code I have:
uses
AMFormPanel, LazarusPackageIntf;
implementation
procedure Register;
begin
AMFormPanel.Register;// I added this. It did not change the error.
end;
initialization
RegisterPackage('arsmagicagui', @Register);
end.
Years ago, I remember getting this error while I was first
experimenting with Lazarus, but it went away (not sure why) and I have
been able to create many components in the intervening time.
What did I do wrong? :-[
Thanks,
Don Ziesig
