[Lazarus] Adding static .o files

Hello, I want to link sqlite3.o statically with my Lazarus program. Is the additional option -k/foldername/sqlite3.o correct? Because I get ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386 How can I get fpc to show the detailed ld errors, i.e. which symbols are missing? Thanks. Tobias --

Re: [Lazarus] Avoid automatic recompile of needed packages

What packages? Is it Lazarus trunk built yourself from SVN? It recompiles the LCL whenever I switch the processor type. It is not necessary. I want to compile the LCL manually and never automatic. Is it possible to turn automatic off or not? Cheers, Tobias --

[Lazarus] Recompiling just the LCL, not the IDE

Hello, the latest Build Lazarus GUI is very pretty, but how do I recompile just the LCL? I need to do it in order to create a cross-compiled PowerPC LCL on Mac. I don't need Lazarus, just the LCL. Apart from that, it is a pleasure to work with the latest Lazarus and FPC snapshots! Cheers,

[Lazarus] FPC and Lazarus on ARM

Hello, I now have a netbook computer with an ARM processor running Ubuntu. Ideally I would like to install FPC and Lazarus on it and do native ARM development. I wonder if it might be possible. Can I cross-compile FPC to get a native FPC running on ARM? Or at least can I cross-compile my app?

[Lazarus] Catch ObjC Exception in TTrayIcon?

Re: [Lazarus] GDB crash when I try to debug

Hello, I found out the most incredible thing. When I add this stripped-down unit to my program, GDB will crash loading it. When I remove the line in the initialization section, it works. When I rename the unit, it works also. So I can easily work around the problem, but maybe a more generic
