Thank you Florian for your bug report. Right now should launch or at least to display a better error in a Message Box. Is fixed and uploaded the fix.

If you take that memory is not freed at once (excluding if you program using IDisposable) because of GC, in a well crafted benchmark, always will make a .NET application to use more than a Lazarus one. So what's your point? Main memory is more expensive than hard disk space. So, do it by yourself. Anyway, the scope of the today preview was to show how it will be about and you are very welcome to feedback any oppinions. I guess most people agree that this has nothing to do with lazarus: it's neither an addon nor compatible, so you might advertise somewhere else. are kept in RAM, only for one reason, is faster a Show than to create a dialog from scratch. Of course, else .Net applications would suck even more. ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Hi Henry, Please for Pasic Ide regarding question to not ask in Lazarus Forum I will answer privately, but as shorthand: run it with $ mono Pasic.exe and should run.

Re: [Lazarus] Pasic Ide - previously named Lightsarus
This thread is absolutely out of topic here. It doesn't even run with the Free Pascal compiler, but instead uses an incompatible Pascal dialect, and has nothing to do with Lazarus. To get publicity for your producs I would suggest: * buying some internet Ads. * Posting this in the RemObjects forum or mailling list, supposing they have one * Maybe the fpc-other mailling list? The mailling list is not as easy to be moderated as the forum, so I propose that noone answer to this thread anymore, effectively closing it. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Even with smartlink, strip, the Lazarus IDE have 8 MB, without stripping and That 8Mb executable contains a LOT of components and classes. RTL, FCL, LCL and IDE. 8Mb suddenly doesn't seem that large to me! Considering we can buy 1 Terabyte hard drives now, size is not that much of a issues. Size might be more of an issue for mobile devices, but then even those devices (I own one) can have SD cards a 1+ Gig space. with default settings, Lazarus executable have 80 M. That's perfectly fine, considering it's got a lot of debugging information included. A hello world application in .NET/mono is around 3-4k. Oh sure, but don't forget it requires a 120+Mb runtime environment. So that makes that hello world application a 123Mb executable. :-( Lazarus still beast it by far!! ;-) Lazarus IDE issues: - LCL: LCL wants to be (and is) a multiplatform way to mimic Delphi VCL over a lot of runtimes. Win32, Cocoa, Qt, Gtk1, Gtk2, etc. All of them seem credible, yet they have issues and different behavior. You may take in account making an enterprise ready code that you should test twice the LCL code before you submit over one platform (for instance Linux and GTK2). I have this issue with LCL as well. Make no mistake, the Lazarus team did a great job so far, but they are battling a moving target. I tackled this issue from a different perspective and implemented my own custom drawn toolkit (fpGUI) which doesn't relay on any large libraries and don't have to be a Delphi VCL clone. This works perfectly for me and our company, but isn't the goal of the Lazarus LCL. The choice is yours: Help fix the LCL issues, or switch to a different GUI toolkit.ps: I still use the Lazarus IDE though - I think that is great!! - Lazarus IDE interface mimics Delphi 7. Yes, Delphi 7 is a nice release, I am fully agree with it, yet Lazarus stride to achieve to be a smaller cousin of an older product. A common mistake. The goal of Lazarus is NOT to clone the Delphi IDE!!! It only wants to clone the VCL - that's it! outdated, you have to make a combination between FreePascal/Lazarus wiki, Delphi VCL help and Google to solve your problems, which most of persons are not ready (without some experience) Documentation patches are always welcome! Remember, FPC and Lazarus are open-source projects. Created by developers in their spare time. It has not corporate sponsors and nobody gets paid for the efforts.

Do not make assumptions as to what your users are using. We only recently discontinued support for Win95 and force some of our users to upgrade to Win98 or newer. Most of our customers still use Win98 - their philosophy is simple: If it ain't broken, why fix it! For them, there is no incentive it upgrading the OS, which also means they need to upgrade their hardware. Money they can spend elsewhere.
