[Lazarus] Memory Loss (Mine)

Hello to all, Although I have been reading this mailing list for years, I have not been doing much else in this area. Started with standard Pascal on an elderly mainframe about 30 years ago. Was introduced to Borland's Turbo version, then wrote databases for a range of

Just a comment - with the requirement to produce a User Manual in HTML and PDF for a new Linux OS, we settled on Lyx as the primary editor. Gordon Tauranga N.Z. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org

Re: [Lazarus] Beyond Compare finally moved to LCL

I am fully in agreement with Graeme. Have given up working with Lazarus (I'm now only a hobby programmer) because of the constant changes and inconsistencies. In old age, I prefer stability. Gordon. On 06/27/2015 07:59 PM, Graeme Geldenhuys wrote: I know it doesn't work like that in open

Re: [Lazarus] Date value 0

I once worked in the international section of the New Zealand Meteorological Servce, which used Greenwich Time (UTC). So, each day started at noon, 12 hours behind local time. Plenty of scope for confusion there. Fortunately this was several decades before computers appeared. Gordon. On

[Lazarus] Can't find file?

Greetings, Just returning to Lazarus after 6 months or so on other projects. Am running Laz 1.2.4 on Linux MX-14, which is a development on AntiX , - based on Debian stable. MX-14 has presented only one real problem so far, no hassles with Form design, code is behaving and

Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus MX-14

Thank you Péter, that is the thing that has me puzzled. I believed that I had not previously installed Lazarus on this HDD partition, for use with a new installation of MX14-2. Will delete it all and reformat as there must be something remaining on the disk. On 07/09/2014 07:27 PM, Péter Gábor

[Lazarus] Lazarus MX-14

Hi to all, I am currently testing Lazarus 1.2.2 on MX-14, a light version of Linux developed from Antix. We have 1.2.2 in the MX testing repository and will probably update to 1.2.4 when moving it to the main repo. So far, the tests look good. I see a few references to Laz 1.3

Thanks Michael, Will go ahead with 1.2.4 On 25/06/14 12:16, Michael Van Ham wrote: At some point 1.3 will be considered stable and released as 1.4. There is no fixed date for this. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list

Re: [Lazarus] File Access Problems in Linux

Mattias, This is the version packaged in the repository for the Kubuntu version I am using. A straight download and install. Yes it is old, repository packages tend to be behind the times. I will install a newer version later today, but doubt if it will make any difference in this case.

[Lazarus] File Access Problems in Linux

Several days ago I posted a request about filing conventions, a request that had no response. I am asking this again, as I am having file access problems. Am attempting to use Lazarus on Linux, specifically Kubuntu 12.04. Having set a separate folder for this, my first Lazarus project, all

[Lazarus] File Conventions

Is there any convention or preferred system for the saving of Lazarus project work files in Linux? I am quite happy about developing my own filing rules and setting the Lazarus Environment appropriately, but if there already an established convention, then I will use it. Thanks, Gordon. --

Re: [Lazarus] New member with compiler query

I believe that we can close this thread. Have been working with Lazarus over the past few days and find that much of my memories from Turbo Pascal and Delphi are still very relevant. The Topaz database modules have been abandoned, certainly they had some shortcuts, such as a built in Label

Re: [Lazarus] New member with compiler query

Reiner, The Topaz database modules were all based on the dbf system with three separate files, a linked list .dbf containing Titles and Headings that effectively controlled the saved data, .dbt containing the data items themselves, and .mdx a multiple indexing system. I originally wrote a

Re: [Lazarus] New member with compiler query

It was a Linux permissions issue, and has been fixed. I found that a Free Pascal executable file would not be executable if being read from USB memory stick. Puppy Linux is automatically in the Root option and so ignores the lack of a permission. Gordon. Earlier to day I wrote : My

My thanks for the advice from several members. It is going to take a while for me to become familiar with fP and Lazarus, so willconcentrate on getting programs working properly for Linux and MS, then will think about Macs. This should allow me time to find the best Mac solution. Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. Have just joined the list. Background, worked with Pascal on an old IBM mainframe, input by punched cards. The used Turbo Pascal from Version 2, Delphi up to Vsn 3 with Topaz modules for small freestanding databases. Then I moved to Linux and database work ceased.
