I sorted out the gtk1 dependencies some while ago but in this case I'm specifically interested in gtk2, which is why I'm hesitant to simply splurge Debian's lazarus package onto the system. In part this goes back to the menu problem I mentioned a few days ago, the fact that this doesn't occur on gtk2 is a big incentive to migrate to it where possible. i see. i personally just tend to build a package and wait for ld to spit out something like '-lsomelib not found', then i go and install libsomelib-dev and try and build again. it doesn't really take long, since you don't have to make clean every time, so it will just link. and lazarus doesn't depend on many packages anyway. good luck henry ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

In lazarus you use packages to specify paths. You hardly write paths yourself in the edit/combo boxes of the IDE. the package in question (fpgui) doesn't play well when i cross compile. it compiles the whole package every time i switch compiler (i386 to arm), which is annoying. doing it this way it will find the compiled fpgui units for whichever arch, and just compile my project. this works well, so no problems there. You can see the search paths via source editor / popup menu / file settings / unit info. The 'unit path' is given to the compiler, the 'source path' is an addition for the IDE. Both are normally defined by the compiler options. i've had a look at this unit info and all the paths are there and correct. as i've said, it does find some of the units i ctrl-click on. but it seems random and i _think_ it only finds source in the same directory as the file i'm clicking on. henry ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Some distribuitions offer a sub-bundle of mono, and skips parts like Windows.Forms from it. You should install them separately if you will get a System.Windows.Forms exception To compile it you should download RemObjects Oxygene, then go to where you found the project named: Pasic.oxygene in the source-code and write in the command line: mono path to Oxygene.exe compiler Pasic.oxygene It should generate in bin/Release/Pasic.exe compatible executable. thanks, i'll try. henry ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] writeln to stdout in windows?
2008/7/29 Seth Grover [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
hm. if i compile with -WC, then it opens up a separate console window
(even though I also have windows gui application, -WG, checked) and
the writeln goes to that console window.
that's not what i want, though... if i run from the command line, i
want to see the messages written to the console. if i just run the
executable from the windows gui, i don't want to see a console, but i
don't want the writeln's to raise an exception.
you can find out whether you program is run from the console by using
the GetStdHandle function. it returns 0 if it's a gui app.
see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683231(VS.85).aspx
it's tricky to do, but you can detect and attach to the console an app
is run from, but you can't use writeln. look at this code (not tested
on fpc):
program guiconsole;
uses
Forms, Windows, SysUtils,
main in 'main.pas' {Form1};
{$R *.res}
const
ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS = DWORD(-1);
function AttachConsole(dwProcessId: DWORD): BOOL; stdcall; external
kernel32 name 'AttachConsole';
var
h: THandle;
dum: Cardinal;
msg1: String = 'You''re running this from a command window!';
begin
h := GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
if h = 0
then begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
Application.Run;
end
else if h INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE
then begin
AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS);
h := GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
if (h = 0) or (h = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
then MessageBox(0, PChar(Format('GetStdHandle error!
%d', [h])), 'Error', MB_OK);
sleep(1000);
if not WriteConsole(h, pchar(msg1), length(msg1), dum, nil)
then MessageBox(0, PChar(Format('WriteConsole error!
%d', [h])), 'Error', MB_OK);
{AllocConsole();
Writeln('You''re running this from a command window!'); }
end
else MessageBox(0, PChar(Format('GetStdHandle error! %d',
[h])), 'Error', MB_OK);
end.
using writeconsole is a pain, though. i don't know if there's any way
of making fpc use the attached console as stdout. i'll let you
experiment...
