I am not sure that will work on arm (or whatever cpu you have). 
Pascalscript has some arm support, but not sure it is good enough.


The error is about macros in the source editor.
You can use normal macros, but not macros with Pascalscript.

I myself had reported something similar with VNC, so it's indeed likely to

Yes. I've found Lazarus or any LCL app to be unworkable with VNC :(

Yes, now that you mention it...
I had a similar situation several years ago when I was using TightVNC
on the RPi to access Lazarus. At that time nothing at all happened
when I tried to enter the characters {[]}\|.

So I created a text document with these chars and had it open when I
programmed so I could go there and select-and copy the wanted char to
be pasted into the editor.
If I remember correctly it was ONLY the code editor that ill behaved,
if I entered the characters into any other Lazarus window accepting
strings as parameter it worked OK.

And so it does now as well...
For example the search box in Object Inspector is OK with these
characters composed using the AltGr key.

So now I have connected a monitor to my RPi4 and a spare TV keyboard
with a mousepad to the RPi4 as well. When I use this to run a session
the problem does not appear any longer...

So indeed it is connected with VNC, but it also is connected with
Lazarus' code editor window. It seems like this is the only affected
window on the RPi, all others accept the composition key AltGr as part
of entering a special char.

I cannot use the direct connection, though, because I am heavily
depending on being able to copy stuff across between the two systems
and I also need to have access to my other tools on the Windows
computer. So I have to stick with VNC anyway and work around the
problem.

And back again to Lazarus 2.0.6...




Please look at  issue 0030544 on https://bugs.freepascal.org. If I 
remember correctly, Mattias eventually found the reason and fixed it. 
Don't know why the problerm rearises...

Improvements include a 3x performance boots, up to 4 GB of RAM, USB

With these changes I can see the Pi now as a complete desktop

lading multiple web pages, playing web video, running all the normal 
desktop applications such as Gimp, Audacity, and Lazarus.


I will be ordering one as soon as I can get the new case without 
buying the full kit. I will also be updating my download page to 
include a special version of FPC and Lazarus more suited to the Pi 4.


Cheers,

Hi, all,

with the Pi 4 a new OS version appeared, Raspian Buster. On this I 
selected "Add/Remove Software" and clicked on "IDE for Free Pascal - 
Suite / lazarus -2.0-2.0.0-dfsg-2".


Lazarus 2 was installed and I clicked on "IDE starten". But then this 
error message appeared:


"The package EditorMacroScript (pascalscript macros) has detected a 
problem and was deactivated. The package failed it's selftest with the 
message 'Replace All [Exc: True / Got_ False]'"


How to fix?

Re: [Lazarus] tiOPF is looking for a new project maintainer

[Joe via lazarus]

Am 30.05.2019 um 13:25 schrieb Graeme Geldenhuys via lazarus:

Hello everybody,

I have really enjoyed working with tiOPF for 15+ years and have written
tons of database and non-database applications that used tiOPF. It was
also the project that introduced me to Design Patterns and Test Driven
Development, and I'll forever be grateful for that.

However, due to the decline in Delphi/Object Pascal popularity for paid
work (at least here in the UK), I've moved full time to another
programming language. With that, I feel it is time to hand over the
reins to someone else that still uses Delphi/Object Pascal on a daily
basis. So if you feel up to the challenge and don't want to see a great
project become abandon-ware, please let me know.

I'll keep running the support newsgroup - I have no intention in
stopping that. I'll also continue running the daily/hourly unit tests
for tiOPF as it is fully automated anyway. I'll also still be around to
answer questions, but will be moving away from maintenance and new
development work for tiOPF and tiOPF related utility applications.

So if you have any interest in keeping tiOPF alive, please contact me
here or in private.


ps:
   If I've done it correctly, all replies should go to the fpc-other
   mailing list.

Graeme,

what's the programming language you have moved to?
Good luck and best wishes for this new episode in your career.

The DateTimeToStr function returns somewhat inconsistent formatted

For "DateTimeToStr (now, DefaultFormatSettings)"

-  under Linux Mint Sarah, I got "12-3-19 21:35:50"
-  under Raspbian Stretch, i got "12-3-19 21:35:50"

The Language Switch of the IDE, Tools -> Options ... -> General ->

[Lazarus] Lazarus 2.0 doesn't compile LabJack wrapper

[Joe via lazarus]

Hi,

we control some laboratory equipment with a LabJack U3-HV interface. The 
manufacturer of the interface provided a dll file and a Delphi wrapper 
for the dll file to read and set the ports of the interface. This works 
well with Delphi XE2.


But when I try to migrate to Lazarus 2.0, this wrapper is not accepted. 
It appears a error message 'Calling convention doesn't match forward'. 
Delphi XE2 doesn't complain about any convention difficulties in the 
wrapper file. I tried to harmonize the calling convention prescriptions 
in the interface and the implementation part of the wrapper- no success.


Is this a Lazarus or FPC bug, or a (perhaps undocumented) 
incompatibility between Delphi XE2 and Lazarus 2.0? Or do I oversee 
something? We are using Win 10, Version 1809 (64). The wrapper itself  
can be downloaded from

http://transfer.joepgen.com/wrapper.pas

[Lazarus] Can't install LazSerial 0.2 in Lazarus 2.0 under Raspbian

[Joe via lazarus]

Hi,

the package can't be compiled. Reason: The file "lazsynaser.pas" in 
lines 252..262 references undefined constants. They should be defined in 
file 'termios.inc'. In other operating systems and/or Lazarus versions 
they are, but not in Lazarus 2.0 under Raspbian Stretch, Nov 2018 edition.


As a quick and very dirty intermediate fix I replaced the constants in 
these lines with literal expressions. This worked, but of course that's 
no tidy solution.


I could not get the mail address of 'JurassicPork', the author of 
LazSerial. Does someone know this address?

another finding: After this test with locale English-UK  I switched the

Translation: 'Das sieht nicht wie ein "tar"-Archiv aus' -> Doesn't

                     'Datei nicht gefunden -> Filre not found

Now I am preparing another sd card with Raspian Stretch again, but do 
not switch to German and try this setup.sh again.

completes you will have a menu entry in Raspbian under Programming 
titled Lazarus 2.0. Use that shortcut to launch Lazarus. Alternately 
you can navigate to the install location and in the lazarus folder run 
lazarus.sh to start Lazarus 2.0 to with the properly configured 
environment.


You should see the Lazarus splash screen with version 2.0 emboldened 
at the bottom.




Anthony,

on executing this setup.sh I just got the same error messages:. Among them:

tar: Das sieht nicht wie ein "tar"-Archiv aus
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
./setup.sh: Zeile 206: /home/pi/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin/fpcmkcfg: 
Datei nicht gefunden

and much more.

Nevertherless  setup.sh finishes with message "Your Free Pascal 3.0 with 
Lazarus is now installed".


Translation: 'Das sieht nicht wie ein "tar"-Archiv aus' -> Doesn't look 
like a "tar" archive

                     'Datei nicht gefunden -> Filre not found

Now I am preparing another sd card with Raspian Stretch again, but do 
not switch to German and try this setup.sh again.

Anthony,

the two versions are the same, says winmerge.

In the mean time, I reinstalled Raspian again, but this time I did not 
activate Lazarus 1.6.2.
Instead I did 'tar xvf fpc.lazarus.raspberry.tar.gz' and now there are 
the two new directories fpc and lazarus.


What is the next step?

Hi, Anthony,

I installed a fresh Stretch (Nov 2018) on a new SD card and put it in a 
Pi 3B+-. Selected 'German' and 'Germany'. Enabled VNC. Then I installed 
Lazarus 1.6.2 via "Add/Remove software", started Lazarus and got the 
known error message "The package editor macro script has detected a 
problerm and was activated".


Copied your script in /home/pi, made it executable and started it.

I was asked to install libghx-x11-dev and did it. Started the script 
again, accepted /home/pi/Development/FreePascal as default install 
location.


Said 'y' to the shortcuts question. But then I got an error message from 
line 206 of the script, and it finished.


Tried it again to get a screen shot with the error messages. It is 
enclosed.


How to fix?

Thank you --  Joe

Okay Joe, I've create a version of Lazarus 2.0 and it's available here:

https://www.getlazarus.org/setup/?download#raspberry_pi

Please see this mailing list message titled "Raspbian FPC 3.3.1 and 
Lazarus 2.0 Available" for the notes.


I made this a precompiled bundle rather than an svn build script 
because it takes MUCH longer to download and build sources on a 
Raspberry Pi, and also I've reduced the storage footprint by at least 
1.5GB, which is a lot given the typical space people have available on 
their Raspbian SD card.


Let me know if you have any questions or problems.



Hi, Anthony,

unfortunately this script fails on a Pi3B+ with  a fresh installed 
Stretch (Version Nov 2018).
I have created a bug report with enclosed screen shot and tried to send 
it to you, but got this answer:


Your mail to 'lazarus' with the subject

Re: [Lazarus] Raspbian FPC 3.3.1 and Lazarus 2.0 Available/Bug
Report

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

Message body is too big: 161273 bytes with a limit of 100 KB

I am going to make the screen shot smaller and to try again.

Do you refer to the content of the cfg file? I created the cfg file 
automagically with "fpcmkcfg -o /etc/fpc-3.0.4.cfg", but have no idea 
about its content and did not change anything in it.


In the meantime, to be sure fpc 3.0.4 is ok, I updated its sources (to 
revision 41293) and did "make build" and "sudo make install". No errors.


But when trying again to make lazarus, still the same error message pops up.
How does it work on your  Raspberry Pi 3B+?

Hi,

on a Pi 3B+ under Stretch I did this:

~ $ mkdir lazarus-2a
sudo chmod a+w lazarus-2a
svn co https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus-2a
cd lazarus-2a
make clean all

I get this error message:
...

home/pi/lazarus-2a/packager/registration/fcllaz.pas(11,3)  Fatal:

What's wrong?
BTW: fpc -iW returns "3.0.4".

on a Pi 3B+ under Stretch I did this:

~ $ mkdir lazarus-2a
sudo chmod a+w lazarus-2a
svn co https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus-2a
cd lazarus-2a
make clean all

I get this error message:
...
Compiling fcllaz
home/pi/lazarus-2a/packager/registration/fcllaz.pas(11,3)  Fatal: 
(10022) Can't find unit db used by fcllaz

Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted

What's wrong?
BTW: fpc -iW returns "3.0.4".

[Lazarus] Lazarus 2 RC3 Bug or my fault?

[Joe via lazarus]

I have a TListBox called LogBox in a test project and write strings with 
LogBox.Items.Add(stringvar) to LogBox. But the lines don't follow each 
other without space. There is space with approximately a half line hight 
between them. In Delphi, the lines in TListBox follow each other without 
this space.  Is this a Lazarus bug or did I miss something?

If for any reason the '.compiled'-file of a test project can't be 
written, during compiling a message window "Fehler beim Schreiben der

Two minor test findings:

Projekt -> Projekt veröffentlichen -> Zielverzeichnis: If the user

When a "Debuggerfehler" happens, the user is told "... Drücken Sie

Hi,

"Lazarus directory" is empty.

If you installed Lazarus the first time on this computer, on start you
should see "Welcome to Lazarus 2.0.0RC3" and the Lazarus directory
should be set to" /usr/share/lazarus".

Are you sure you installed it for the first time?
Close the IDE, remove the ~/.lazarus directory and then start the IDE
again.

Mattias


Hello, Mattias,

maybe (am not sure) in a first attempt  I had installed and deinstalled 
Lazarus 1.6, which  is offered by this distro. Later when I tried to 
install RC3, GDebi told me, there was an package conflict with fpc. I 
did  sudo apt-get purge fpc and then sudo apt-get autoremove. Now RC3 
could be installed.


Following your advice, I removed the ~/.lazarus directory of the default 
user, and the problem was gone.

This problem depends on the user type of the logged on user. If we work

[Lazarus] Lazarus and Lazarus Apps unreliable over Teamviewer

[Joe via Lazarus]

Remote client is Teamviewer 13.2.3629 under Win 10 (64), Remote Server 
is Teamviewer 13.1.1548H under Raspbian Stretch on a Pi 3B+. Both 
machine is set to Keyboard Layot German.


From the windows machine, I start Lazarus 1.8.4 (FPC 3.0.4, SVN-Rev 
58021) on the Pi and open the code editor.
Then I try to type AltGr+.. combination characters like Vertical bar, 
Euro-Sign, At-Sign, Backslash, braces and brackets. Sometimes the typed 
chars appear in the code editor window, sometimes they don't. Often (not 
always) it seems to depend how quick I release the AltGr key.


The same unreliable input behaviour I see with Lazarus generated 
executables containing SynEdit components, when I try to type into them.


Similar problem: See thread "Lazarus still not usable with VNC under 
Raspbian" and issue 0030544 in the lazarus bugtracker.

Unfortunately, this report is still unassigned and it seems nobody of 
the developers cares about it. So, the 70+ million Raspberry Pi users 
all over the world cant' develop Lazarus programs when controlling their 
Pis over the VNC Server built into Raspbian.


The contributor of the VNC Server built into Raspian Stretch is RealVNC. 
I asked them for help concerning this problem. Yesterday I got this from 
Linda, RealVNC Product Support:


"We did manage to reproduce this from Windows with a German keyboard 
layout. We can confirm that it only affects this particular application. 
Lazarus does appear to discard key events with the same timestamp, which 
I think is not correct behaviour, which they would need to fix to make 
this work. There's not really much we can do to fix this, since we don't 
explicitly generate the timestamps on the events - the X server is doing 
this. Given that the X server is ok with sending the key events to the 
Lazarus application with the same timestamp, I think it should be 
handling this ...

Please log a bug with the Lazarus developer."

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Prepare a SD card with Raspbian Stretch, current version, and boot a Pi 
with it. Enable VNC and install Lazarus (current version under Raspian
 is Lazarus 1.6.2). Now, from a Windows 10 computer, using VNCViewer 
6.0.3. x64 from RealVNC, connect to the Pi, open Lazarus, click in the 
code Editor Window and depress AltGr + {. The charcter is not shown.


Please, could one of the developers have a look at this?

Regards --  Joe

It says it can't find the compiler binary. Hopefully Bo will be able 
to give you some direct help, but the classical way of fixing it would 
be by something like


make clean all PP=ppcXXX


.
Went to /home/pi/dev/fpc/3.02 and did make clean all PP=ppcarm.
Got "An unhandled exception occurred at $000678A0".
Maybe the ARMv6 CPU got some ARMv7 code?

Hi again!
I have now returned home and been able to check the script.
I used a brand new Jessie PIXEL image and did this before starting the
script:
- Created dir /home/pi/bin where the fpc binary will reside
- Logged off and back on again to put this dir into the PATH

Turns out that the fpc sourceinstall command on line #150 fails
because there is no current path to the seed compiler ppcarm
So I have added option FPC= on that line and with that
done the script runs OK to the end and Lazarus is available on the
main Jessie menu below "Programming".

The corrected script is found here:
http://blog.boberglund.com/install_lazfpc_local_pi.sh

Regarding configuration, these lines need to be handled by editing the
versions mainly (lines #32 and #43-46):

LAZDESK=/home/pi/.local/share/applications/lazarus_1.6.2.desktop
FPCTAG=release_3_0_0
FPCVER=3.0.0
LAZTAG=lazarus_1_6_2

LAZDESK=/home/pi/.local/share/applications/lazarus_1.8.RC1.desktop

Looks like you may have the unit "windows" in your uses clause.

Either move the Windows unit in front of the SysUtils unit, or use
SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable

Help / About Lazarus / Right mouse click on logo / Copy version info to

"GetEnvironmentVariable('computername')" doesn't work.
When compiling, it returns "Error: Wrong number of Parameters specified
for call to GetEnvironmentVariable".

The SysUtils GetEnvironmentVariable expects one string. So, maybe you
have somewhere another GetEnvironmentVariable?
Use Find Declaration to find out.

Mattias


Mattias,

Find Declaration shows two entries in file osutilsh.inc, lines 25 and 26:
Function GetEnvironmentVariable(Const EnvVar : AnsiString) : AnsiString;
Function GetEnvironmentVariable(Const EnvVar : UnicodeString) : 
UnicodeString;


But Code Completion offers three functions named GetEnvironmentVariable:
The Ansistring function and the Unicode String function above plus
"GetEnvironmentVariable(lpName: LPCSTR; lpBuffer: LPSTR; nSize: DWORD): 
DWORD".


Seems, Lazarus tries to use only the latter.

No, I don't have another GetEnvironmentVariable.

You can reproduce this easily:
Put a TButton Button1 on a form.
In the OnClick Event for this button write "Button1.Caption := 
GetEnvironmentVariable ('computername');"
