The basic idea is to backup of your Delphi project and then start the converter on a copy. It changes some files and might stop with an error. You fix the error and start it again.

(including support for installing components) This is crucial for everything really. If you mean that the package sources are installed read only: yes 2. I think lazarus should get separated into lazarus-lcl-widgetset packages, lazarus-ide and lazarus-tools (lazbuild and friends) with a dummy all-package like lazarus and a dummy lcl package which will simply default to per-distro widgetset (eg: qt on KDE distroes in the future, gtk2 on gnome). So if use installs lazarus they get dependency lazarus-lcl which in turn installs lazarus-lcl-whatever. Possible. 3. With lazarus-tools, users can easily create lazarus/fpc-made packages for whatever they made. They will simply specify the dependency for lazarus-lcl-specific for binary packages and lazarus-lcl for -src packages and use lazarus-tools (lazbuild) to automate building. 3rd party components should be of-course packagable as well. Maybe improve fppackage instead? I'm not asking for someone to do it, but for input, and if it's viewed as feasible by you guys. I'm currently about to release a LaTeX IDE I made with Lazarus and am quite.. blocked in regards to proper packaging and auto-building of the thing. So.. what do you think?

So, I guess the patch tries to fix an ANSI codepage accented chars problem, right? The fix is probably useless on other codepages including UTF-8, right? Not as such. The problem is two fold. 1. If we ignore encoding (eg: just work in ansi space), then the old style was simply plain wrong. It only allowed alpha (not num) chars, and worked on the principle of what's not alpha, isn't a word. True. But at least it is reliable. For what codepages do the patch work and for what codepages does it not work? Maybe the set/check should be configurable. The IDE will eventually only pass UTF-8 to synedit. Then we need an UTF-8 word boundary test. 2. If we also consider UTF-8 encoded content, then getting words by boundaries (eg: not-allowed chars) and not by allowed-chars means that as long as given boundaries and whitespaces are 127 (which the default ones are), UTF-8 words will be parsed right, even if they contain special multibyte chars. I'm not sure if #2 applies also to some other encoding. UTF-8 uses #128..#255. #0..#127 is plain ASCII like most other 8-bit codepages.

We know that:

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
{} \;
All of the solutions provided here are not that ideal when USING (and
not developing) Lazarus.
In many cases I want to debug MY code - and not the LCL-Code. But
sometimes, I've to search inside the LCL as well. So I would
appreciate to switch to either debug the LCL or link an LCL without
debug-symbols.
That is about 'conditional compiler options'.
Many people want a release/debug mode.
You want to fine control release/debug flag for every package or at
least a set of packages (LCL+FCL+RTL). Please make a proposal on

Some notes:

The lcl directory has no LCLwidgetset flag, because it contains only
platform independent code. The Widgetsets should set a variable or the
LCL should ask the widgetset, but it should not contain any widgetset
dependent code.
You moved the test for {%encoding } in front of the test for BOM,
which means the {%encoding} could override the BOM. But this will only
work with lazarus. All other text editors and tools, including the
compiler, will use UTF-8 as encoding. That's why the
BOM should override the {%encoding} and therefore be tested first.
k:=pos('{'+'%encoding ',s);
This will find the string even in strings and comments.
I think the new feature should be enclosed in IFDEF EnableSrcEncoding
until it is well tested.

The 'configure build lazarus' option dialog was improved and now starts with a much simpler dialog. But instead of less there are more people asking on how to compile the IDE. I wonder why. Can you give some hints, why you didn't found out how to compile the IDE with the IDE, or/and why you found out first how to compile the IDE on command line? Where did you found help?

The problem is, that at the moment the win32 interface moves the childs instead of moving the client area. This operation is not atomic, that means, each child move creates messages. It is nearly impossible to make this operation atomic platform independently. That's why instead all widgetsets should instead move the 'client area'. This means the childs should be put on an internal widget - the 'client area widget'. Scrolling means then to simply move the client area widget. So, it is needed that TWin32WSScrollingWinControl creates an internal widget and put its childs on this widget. That's all. The winapi part is not hard. The hardest part is to understand the win32 interface and fix all places, where this might be relevant. AFAIK the other widgetsets already use an internal client area widget.

That's why I specified that the problem is fpc 2.0.4 specific.
Unless the LCLIntf implementation is broken, adding the uses

Mattias said that 2.0.4 must be still supported, because 2.2.0

Since fix is very easy I will not persist too much. Applied in

Maybe it is better to wrap it in {$IFDEF VER2_0}...{$ENDIF}, so we

I want to copy, pixel by pixel, the image from one TImage over to the second TImage. Yes I know I could just assign the bitmap from one to the other, but this is an exercise in Scanline manipulation. The problem I have is that once copied the second TImage contains a blue light bulb instead of a yellow one. The code I'm using is..

Yes. MyBitmap.LoadFromIntfImage( IntfImage ) does no conversion. You created an image with the format ImgFormatDescription.Init_BPP32_B8G8R8_BIO_TTB which is probably not the format of your platform.

Current state: It is allowed for IDE packages to access the IDE source directories (designer, debugger, ide, packager). Is anyone using this feature? I would like to get of this. Then a package can be installed without recompiling the IDE, but simply by linking. At the moment the IDE compiles itself, compiles the packages and then links itself.

Currently, there are some components that don't meet your 'standard' criteria. For example: IPro, SynEdit, and TDBF.

First, one that's ported by us (Lazarus developers and friends), more over if the original author doesn't support the porting effort. IPro, SynEdit, TDBF, VTV, and LazReport are on this type. Second, one that's ported by the original author, both officially or unofficially. ZeosLib and Indy are on this type. First type, IMO, allows to (or should) be included as default component if it's considered very useful. Second type, IMO, must never be included as default component, unless it turns out become the first type (for example if the author stops the development). Please distinguish: - base packages: needed by the IDE to run, these can not be uninstalled. These should be kept to a minimum. ipro will probably be never one of them. The RTTI controls could become part of it, because they are mostly a smart way of using the IDEIntf units and could even save code. - bigide packages: packages maintained by lazarus developers and added to the binary distribution packages of lazarus. For example: printers4lazarus. Keep in mind that not every package maintained by laz devels is automatically added to bigide. LazReport can be added to bigide, when it is stable enough. - third parties, distributions: Of course people can create their own lazarus binaries with a lot more packages. There are already some for educations, for game development and for experimental purposes. - the coming fppackage system: Eventually everyone can upload their packages to the fppackage repositories.

And why lazarus insists on making clean and making in /usr/share/lazarus even though I'm not root and don't have write access, but that can come later... Probably because /usr/share/lazarus is set in the environment options as lazarus directory and you told the IDE to rebuild the LCL.

A dialog should do what is is supposed to do, so no additional under the hood actions. That means *not* alter the clipboard without user action. period. no discussion. Q2: Why do you go into the About dialog? A: To admire you name in the Contributors list. :-) 99% of the time it is to see what version (and revision) of the IDE you have. And when do you normally use that information? Probably quoting it in the mailing list of Mantis bug reports. It's really handy having that information copied to the clipboard. Yes I agree on that (and I agreed the first time too). It is only *how* it is done. Thats why I proposed to add a popup. I removed the easter egg.

Did you test with the current 0.9.25? Yes. I saw no changed behavior since r 12699 until your modified it in r 13219. However, as I have an app which shows the problem, I can try to trace what happens with FBaseBounds, and provide more information. I've made my test, checking just FBaseBounds.Top, because it's the one relevant in my app. What happens is the following: The two widgets created with the form, which are top aligned, have the same value for Top and for FBaseBounds.Top (i.e. 1 for the first and 43 for the second). Can you send me the test example? All the other widgets are created run-time, and initially set bottom aligned, have the correct value for the Top property (corresponding to their position) and 0 in FbaseBound.Top. So when one of them is set top aligned, if FBaseBounds.Top is used, 0 is 1 and the widget goes above the first one, instead of below. If the top property is used instead, the widget goes in the right place. I didn't investigate further, but it seems to me that if a widget has a top property of 350 and FBaseBound.top = 0 and if FBaseBound.top must be used to know where the widget is, there must be a bug somewhere. Yes. Mattias _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

But setting alTop to one of them, instead of being stacked below the two already there, it goes on top of them. I tried to trace back in revision, and I found that the last that works properly is r 12699. The offending code is in wincontrol.inc, procedure TWinControl.CreateControlList Sorry a typo. It's TWinControl.CreateControlAlignList, function InsertBefore where the implementation of r 12699 provides the correct alignement, while the implementation of r 12700 does not. Just replacing the expressions in case AAlign with the previous ones the behavior becomes correct again. I don't submit a patch, because I'm unsure of other implications. Both solutions have their pros and cons. To use the current order (e.g. comparing Left instead of FBaseBounds.Left) is less stable, but more Delphi compatible. I changed it. Please test.

My proposal: Alt+G: Goto Line... Ctrl+G: Procedure List Ctrl+Shift+G: Insert GUID Any thoughts? Alt+G: Procedure List Ctrl+G: Goto Line... Ctrl+Shift+G: Insert GUID Mattias _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
Re: [lazarus] Include paths options inheritance details question

Yes, but I know only a few artificial cases where this makes sense. See package editor / Options / Usage. Normally inheriting sources is a bad idea. May i don't prescription project's include path if it already prescribed to required package ? Have differences of prescription include directory to required module and to project directly, in sense that, in what sources (only that package's sources or project's sources too) i may use such directory as included from which? Can you give an example? Mattias _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
