IOW FPC and LCL helpfiles don't have to be in the same directory to link to eachother (plain html simply does ../packagename for all unresolved links) - The code to use the helpfile is filesystem independent.

It is written in the wiki, the default debug directory is \gdb as written here: Step 4 - Optional - This step is optional and if you don't do it, gdb will do this for you, but it might take some 5 minutes to do it. Copy your executable file with File Explorer program in your emulator to the directory \gdb. If there is no gdb directory in the root folder, create it.

[Lazarus] How to create a listbox that can be shifted
In my program (for Windows) I display log information in a TListBox. But that has some severe drawbacks/bugs: 1.) If one of the displayed strings exceeds the right margin there is no horizontal slider to shift the text to the right so the user can see the invisible text. 2.) If the number of rows exceeds the height of the TListBox window there is a vertical slider to move up and down. But for certain widget-sets (recently applied to our workstations at work) this slider is not displayed. Instead, some remnant from previously displayed text appears in the place where the slider should be (if you guess where the slider is, it still works but it looks ugly and is awkward). So I decided to switch to TStringGrid (with one column). This *has* a slider in case the right margin is exceeded. It is also much more flexible as I can add columns easily if needed. But now I still cannot move the (one and only) column to make text on the right visible, even though the slider is there! Is that a bug too? I am stuck again. How can I make long (wide) text visible in a restricted window? -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] Can not run in debug mode for WinCe
Felipe Thans for your answers. I did follow the steps (the D:\lazarus\mingw\bin\gdb.exe was a desperate attempt after nothing worked). The point is that even when I set D:\gdb\gdb.exe as the debugger path in Tools-Options, and set the shared folder in WM6 to d:\gdb, Lazarus copies the wince-stub and app.exe to a *root directory in the DEVICE* gdb', *not in the storage card* like the Lazarus 0.9 I had did. The problem is that WM emulator runs out of *STORAGE* memory, not RAM (which is set to 128). Will this never be reverted to the way lazarus 0.9 worked (i.e. copy to the shared folder)? I tried the work around suggested in this link: Also read the notes on http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21061 for information on additional setup. .

GDB by default assumes that your application will be located at \gdb on the device/emulator. This was never handled by Lazarus in any way. 2. To change the directory you need to follow what is mentioned below Some hints on the wiki page linked by Felipe. You need to add the following --eval-command=set remotedirectory \Storage Card\Program Files\My Program\bin (or whatever your directory is called ON THE DEVICE) to Environment = Options = Debugger = Debugger_Startup_Options (maybe with only one - at the front instead of two) You might also need to restart GDB for this to work.

AFAICS Delphi MatchesMask behaves the same:
MatchesMask('foo', '*.*') = False.
MatchesMask('foo.', '*.*') = True.
(Can someone test with recent Delphi please?)
So for any file searching function on Windows, this needs adjusting in
userland.
