I actually have a commercial license of this software and it is very very nice software and I remember some queries concerning n-tier development with Lazarus a short while ago so I thought I'd drop a line about it. I haven't had a chance to really use my commercial license because I'm doing a lot of development in lazarus of late and and given up on it since I plan to do more and more lazarus work over delphi as time goes on. I have looked at the website, and it looks nice indeed. Porting such complex software is not going to be easy, and will take a lot of time. I will not be able to help out myself, but can give advice as to how this could be done.

Is the roadmap for it updated? http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Roadmap#Status_of_features_on_each_widgetset Is any development still being done for GTK1, or will that widgetset be phased out before the v1 release? Gtk 1 is still officially the official linux interface for 1.0. If you go to the bug tracker and set gtk2 in the tags, there are some 50 bugs. There are complaints that gtk2 is too slow, specially in distributed systems. Maybe a good fpgui widgetset could alliviate some of the problems, and be used together with gtk2 to substitute gtk1. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

[Lazarus] Lazarus IDE (GTK2) - flicker and slow redraws
Hi, I'm not ranting, simply trying to find out if it's a local issue (system or software). Though, none of my other GTK2 applications have this problem, only Lazarus. I got a svn update of Lazarus today and compiled with GTK2. I normally use GTK1. They IDE looks fine and pretty (anti-aliased fonts etc), but usably sucks. * Flicking through the menus causes a lot of flicker! * Typing in the IDE editor window, cause the current typed text to flicker and it looks like the text cursor jumps back and forward one character as I type. * Compiling projects and looking at the Message window. Some serious flicker as the compiler output updates the window. Some positives: * The dialogs look better. * Anti-aliased text makes a major difference. * Text seems to fit the dialog better, much less text clipping than under GTK1. Is there some debug code enabled for the GTK2 interface, that could explain the slow redrawing speed? It looks like double-buffering is totally disabled in LCL-GTK2.

Hi to all,
all we know how many new users do not uses lazarus because it create too BIG
compiled files.
We know that:
1)...the additional options are needed to can debug the project;
2)...just do a simple strip --strip-all filename reduce drastically the
final size (an empty project go from 12.5Mb to 1.2 Mb).
I think to have found a really simple solution to can continue to debug our
project with a really little size increasing.
Just remove all the debug-info from all the LCL object files to reduce the
final compiled file from 12.5Mb to ONLY 2Mb (on Windows).
We'll can continue to debug our projects but we'll CANNOT debug the LCL
code.
To obtain this little miracle just use the following command (from the
shell):
For Windows:
FOR /R Your_Lazarus_Folder %v IN (*.o) DO strip --strip-debug %~fv
For Linux:
sudo find /your_lazarus_folder -name *.o -exec strip --strip-debug {} \;
What do you think about? ;)

Re: [Lazarus] Porting Large Application from Windows to Linux
I think the distro already did this and to debug the current issue
(IDE freezes or abruptly exits), I think I need to rebuild lazarus
from source and use the executables before the debugging
info is stripped.
