[lazarus] icons for lpr and lpi
Hi, In issue 1998 ( http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=1998 ) it is suggested to have different icons for different file types in the windows explorer. I think this is a good idea, but I am not a good icon designer. Is there somebody on this list who wants to give it a try?

Mattias,
When you use the VersionInfo for the first time, the main source is
not updated with a $R projectname.res} line. The code as it is now,
updates this using the codetools. However, this happens after all
files have been saved for compilation. This results in that main
source is updated, but the compiler uses the file from disk without
the updated line.
Saving the file can be easily done using TCodeBuffer.SaveToFile.
However this does not reset the modified flag. Result will be that
lazarus asks to save the file, while the file on disk is already up
to date.
I searched trough the codetools, but could not find out how to solve
this problem. What should I use???
The $R should be added, when the project is created or the version info
is enabled (when clicking the ok button of the project options). Not on
build and not on saving project.
BTW,
How do you make sure, that the $R is only used under windows?
If you create a project under windows with version info and compile it
under linux, the same source must compile without changing the source.
With {$IFDEF MSWindows}{$R projectname.res}{$ENDIF} ?
Isn't it better to do:
{$IFDEF LazarusVersionInfo}{$R projectname.res}{$ENDIF}
The IDE can define this whenever it is necessary.
Michael.

[lazarus] Code completion features missing or not ?
Hi,
2 feature requests:
First:
The following has been bugging me since day 1 of Lazarus:
Code completion for methods works from interface - implementation.
However, in Delphi, the following also works:
Given the form declaration:
TForm1 = class(TForm)
private
{ private declarations }
public
{ public declarations }
end;
I can type the following in the implementation section:
Procedure TForm1.DoSomething;
begin
end;
I can place the cursor anywhere in the DoSomething method, and press
Ctrl-Shift-C.
The IDE then places
Procedure DoSomething;
In the form declaration (in the private section).
This does not work in Lazarus. Could this be added ?
In practice in Delphi, I use this method infinitely more often than the
Interface - implementation way; I really miss this.
Second:
if you add the 'Gexperts' to the Delphi IDE (highly recommended) then
'ALT Gr'-Arrow Up
or
'ALT Gr'-Arrow Down
('Alt Gr' is the right Alt key) moves to the previous/next occurrence of
the word/identifier you are standing on.
This is also something which I would like to see in the Lazarus IDE, as
I also use this quite a lot.
Michael.

Next word will find the identifier in string constants and all
kinds of comments too. And it will find another identifier with the same
name.
Next identifier will parse the code (including jumping to a syntax
error). Then find the next identifier with the same declaration. This
works also for some kinds of comments. And it will work with include
files.
If the current file is not a pascal file, the above word search would
be used.

Yes but most of the problems come from the fact that (besides Lazarus and FPC peoples work for free during their free time) Lazarus/FPC is multi-processors and multi-OS's whereas Delphi is only multi-Microsoft. No matter what are the reasons behind the lack of features, it still lacks of features. Most people/users don't really care about this, whether Lazarus/FPC people work on it during free time or busy time. They just want some features to be exist, period. If Lazarus/FPC can't provide those features then simply admit it and be fair. You could ask them to help or contribute to FPC/Lazarus instead of (blindly) defend it with non-logical reasons or proferring other features as excuses. If you said there are problems with Delphi, then Lazarus is full with problems as well. For some people, Lazarus' problems could prevent them of using it and stick with Delphi. None of both is perfect. I use and like both Delphi and Lazarus. So, I'm not the one you should shoot on the foot.

It's intelligent
Normally it is 'Next word', i.e. it works on any word.
But if you are located in MyMethod in
MyObject.MyMethod;
Then it will look for MyMethod, and not MyObject.MyMethod.

That is such a typical Windows (read as non-free software) mentality. Lazarus and FPC don't have 200+ developers working full time on the projects like Microsoft or Borland do. I have only been part of open source projects for 3 odd years now. Something I noticed very quickly, is that open source projects work on a give-and-take system. Giving something back to the project as a small token of appreciation for everything you get (for free) from the project. You also don't have to give huge code samples - any help is always welcome, even if it is just documentation updates. Yes Lazarus is missing some features, but in the last year (since I started using Lazarus) it has greatly improved. The core developers are doing an excellent job at that - not to mention support being given for new developers using Lazarus! I don't know much about the internal workings of Lazarus, but with a bit of coaching, I even managed to fix a few things that bugged me or implemented something I felt missing and that could benefit others. Every bit helps! It's simple really - it you aren't happy with Lazarus/FPC and you are not willing to help, then go spend your $2000 on a copy of Delphi 2006 and stop bitching here.

Hi! I have installed kubuntu 6.06 with all GTK Packages(I Guess), but I have the following extrange problem: If I run the $make clean all in the console, or if I run the make lazarus option without installing any packages, the lazarus ide its compiled and linked without problems But if I try to install any package, for example, imagesforlazarus.lpk, when the compiler is trying to link the ide, I have this error: ld can't find -lgds Why?

[lazarus] Patch - slackware package build script
Hiya,
The attached patch adds a script for building a valid and fully compliant
slackware package from a lazarus source tree.
It was HEAVILLY plagiarised from the rpm building script and parts of
the .spec file as well, but with all the adaptations needed to successfully
build a proper slackware package for lazarus.
I have tested the script and the resulting packages.
NOTES:
1) Because of how slackware packages work - it is probably impossible to
create a version that does NOT require root privileges
2) This is the first version - no doubt i can be improved with time
3) The script APPEARS to create some broken symlinks - do not be concerned,
this is a standard trick for slackware packages, which forces the installpkg
command to create them correctly later on.
Ciao

Re: [lazarus] Patch - slackware package build script
But you don't need to be root to create the package, do you? Actually you do. Slackware packages require that you set all the files as root-owned before creating the tarball - and THAT cannot be done by a normal user (permissions are specified at build-time, not install time). It would be possible to bypass this with fakeroot -but of couse that would add a new, stupid, dependency. Do you have similar scripts for fpc? Not yet no, but I will :) A.J. -- 80% Of a hardware engineer's job is application of the uncertainty principle. 80% of a software engineer's job is pretending this isn't so. A.J.

Annoying when you are adding and removing methods in the class
definition. You have just removed some and want to complete the new
ones.
...poof, there are the removed ones again (and you won't notice since
the editor jumps to the implementation section, so you can go up again,
remove etc...)

I think completion when you're in the implementation section is OK in

Re: [lazarus] The spirit lost of Borland
Bisma Jayadi a écrit : Yes but most of the problems come from the fact that (besides Lazarus and FPC peoples work for free during their free time) Lazarus/FPC is multi-processors and multi-OS's whereas Delphi is only multi-Microsoft. No matter what are the reasons behind the lack of features, it still lacks of features. Most people/users don't really care about this, whether Lazarus/FPC people work on it during free time or busy time. They just want some features to be exist, period. I really wonder which features are in Delphi that I would like to see in Laz/FPC. On the contrary, I know which useful features are in Laz/FPC and not in Delphi: all the asm stuff including the .s files. Just for that, considering the kind of applications I write, Laz/FPC is incomparably better. If Lazarus/FPC can't provide those features then simply admit it and be fair. You could ask them to help or contribute to FPC/Lazarus instead of (blindly) defend it with non-logical reasons or proferring other features as excuses. If you said there are problems with Delphi, then Lazarus is full with problems as well. For some people, Lazarus' problems could prevent them of using it and stick with Delphi. None of both is perfect. I use and like both Delphi and Lazarus. So, I'm not the one you should shoot on the foot. I'm just comparing and hope we could learn something from it. But Delphi and Laz/FPC are not comparable. On one hand, you have Delphi-Micro$oft-or-die and, on the other hand, the almost-all-OS's Laz/FPC. How do you write a Linux program with the fantastic Delphi IDE? You cannot. End of the comparison. Period. And I was not attacking you personally. You wrote the Delphi IDE is better than Lazarus one, I answered you the IDE is one thing but what is behind is still more important.

Now this I really miss in Lazarus!! When I created the Procedure
List add-on (also from GExperts), I tried the Identifier
Jumping, but my knowledge of CodeTools was to limited to get it
working. This will be a awesome feature in Lazarus.
Next word or next identifier?
It's intelligent
Normally it is 'Next word', i.e. it works on any word.
But if you are located in MyMethod in
MyObject.MyMethod;
Then it will look for MyMethod, and not MyObject.MyMethod.
Ok. So GEXpert has a simple word search and not an identifier search.
And this is wanted.
Then the new functions will be called 'Find next word', 'Find previous
word'. Ok?

I think this behaviour lends itself to configuration:
Method code completion:
(*) Only add current method to class declaration

( ) Always add all missing declarations
Maybe better:
When cursor is in an undeclared method implementation:
(*) Add current method to class declaration
( ) Add all undeclared methods to class declaration.
( ) Give an error
It should never add methods cross over for the above reason. It happens
very seldom that you need both and in this rare case you can do:
Ctrl+Shift+C, Ctrl+Shift+Up, Ctrl+Shift+C
But that is if you want it really fancy... I'd already be happy if
the first one is implemented...
And I'm looking forward to the new fpdoc features. :)

Most people/users don't really care about this, whether Lazarus/FPC people work on it during free time or busy time. They just want some features to be exist, period. I really wonder which features are in Delphi that I would like to see in Laz/FPC. On the contrary, I know which useful features are in Laz/FPC and not in Delphi: all the asm stuff including the .s files. Just for that, considering the kind of applications I write, Laz/FPC is incomparably better. The only feature Delphi has that i miss under FPC/Laz is C++ linking. I must do a c glue and the an oo-pas glue from c glue for c++ original code, and a lot of times, it's too much work. If Lazarus/FPC can't provide those features then simply admit it and be fair. You could ask them to help or contribute to FPC/Lazarus instead of (blindly) defend it with non-logical reasons or proferring other . shoot on the foot. I'm just comparing and hope we could learn something from it. But Delphi and Laz/FPC are not comparable. On one hand, you have Delphi-Micro$oft-or-die and, on the other hand, the almost-all-OS's Laz/FPC. How do you write a Linux program with the fantastic Delphi IDE? You cannot. End of the comparison. Period. Yes, Delphi and Laz/FPC are comparable, and Laz/FPC wins. Perhaps Laz/FPC don't have 24/7 hundreds of programmers, but, and that's for me a good point, has no bad design decissions based on time to market or market share. And I was not attacking you personally. You wrote the Delphi IDE is better than Lazarus one, I answered you the IDE is one thing but what is behind is still more important. Where is the problem? mm Well IDE is Integrated Development Editor, no? Delphi has the best E (Editor) on windows, but not the best D (Development). FPC is better (for me) than borland pascal compiler. As the E doesn't work under other systems, the E is better (for me) in Lazarus. ** This document represent my ideas. They are original from me.

Re: [lazarus] Patch - slackware package build script
A.J. Venter wrote: But you don't need to be root to create the package, do you? Actually you do. Slackware packages require that you set all the files as root-owned before creating the tarball - and THAT cannot be done by a normal user (permissions are specified at build-time, not install time). It would be possible to bypass this with fakeroot -but of couse that would add a new, stupid, dependency. Do you have similar scripts for fpc? Not yet no, but I will :) A.J. Since slackware packages are just tar.gz files can't you just do:INSTALL_PREFIX=~/my/install/path/usr make install and then mkdir ~/my/install/path/install copy slack-desc to this folder and then tar and gzip it? Ok. before I sent this email I gave what I said a testrun. here's what I did: mkdir /tmp/slackware wget lazarus-source.tar.gz // not the real filename I know... tar -zxf ./lazarus-source.tar.gz I changed the Makefile.fpc in lazarus/ to use the INSTALL_PREFIX (a patch has been submitted for this) and used fpcmake to rebuild the Makefile mkdir /tmp/slackware/usr mkdir /tmp/slackware/install // slack-desc goes in here echo (ln -sf /usr/share/lazarus/lazarus /usr/bin/lazarus) /tmp/slackware/install/doinst.sh chmod +x /tmp/slackware/install/doinst.sh cd ./lazarus make INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/slackware/usr/ make install cd ../ (/tmp/slackware) tar -cf lazarus-version-arch.tar gzip ./lazarus-version-arch.tar mv ./lazarus-version-arch.tar.gz mv ./lazarus-version-arck.tgz that's it :) Works ok.

Re: Regression in .lfm saving
Ok, where is the code that fixed this problem? I'll check for myself in svn for any changes. This is corrupting my files as it was before. I need a patch on this. Regards. 2006/9/14, Alexandre Leclerc [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, There was a successful patch when saving WideStrings in .lfm files by adding '' for empty properties, but using the latest 9874 revision the editor is not adding the '' anymore and this is corrupting the loading of the .lfm files as before. (Previous working version I was using is 9773; so this must be somewhere between.)
