ÜberPDF SDK Example for Lazarus

My environment

• Ubuntu 17.10 64 bits
• Lazarus 1.9.0
• FPC 3.1.1
• UberBuild under folder uber
• Necessary PDF files for examples under folder PDF_files

Examples

I've split all the examples into their own units.

Hello World

This example will produce the PDF file hello-world.pdf.

Add JPEG

This example will produce the PDF file add-jpeg.pdf.

It needs the image file at uber/3rdpartylibs/_testfiles/testfiles/jpg/uberdude-uberairshare-stage-board-01.jpg.

Split Document

This example will produce the PDF file split-document.pdf.

It needs the PDF file at PDF_files/NASA_Solar_Dynamics_Observatory_PressKit.pdf.

Stamped Document

This example will produce the PDF file stamped-document.pdf.

It needs these PDF files at PDF_files/DocumentToStamp.pdf and PDF_files/PlatypusStamp.pdf.

Project Build Modes

The only Build Mode I'm currently using and testing is the lintel64.

I would apreciate some help in testing lintel32* build mode.

I'm attempting to make this as complete as possible under my current test environment in terms of the dynamic libraries paths in all relevant places.

DONE: I have Lazarus configured with cross-compiling for win32 and win64 but I didn't test the ÜberBuild™ with any Windows versions.

DONE: I have 2 Raspberry Pi's and will, sometime in the future, have a gander at compiling this on them. I will add the apropriate Build Options once I do get around it.

Build Script

The build script, build.sh, builds the various binaries.

At the moment it knows the following build modes:

1. lintel64 (Linux, Intel, 64 bits)
2. lintel64-static (Linux, Intel, 64 bits, static linking)
3. lintel32 (Linux, Intel, 32 bits)
4. lintel32-static (Linux, Intel, 32 bits, static linking)
5. linarm32 (Linux, ARM, 32 bits)
6. linarm32-static (Linux, ARM, 32 bits, static linking)
   • Still trying to get this one working.
7. -h, --help (Prints the help message)
8. -v, --version (Prints the script version)

lintel64

This is the Linux x68_64 (64 bits) build mode with dynamic linking.

This is my main playground, alongside the static linking below.

Both are Linux 64 bits, just the type of linking differs.

lintel64-static

This is the Linux x68_64 (64 bits) build mode with static linking.

This and lintel64 have been tested on my environment and work accordingly.

lintel32

This is the Linux i386 (32 bits) build mode with dynamic linking.

lintel32-static

This is the Linux i386 (32 bits) build mode with static linking.

linarm32

This is the Linux ARM (32 bits) build mode with dynamic linking.

linarm32-static

This is the Linux ARM (32 bits) build mode with static linking.

wintel64

This is the Windows 64 bits build mode with dynamic linking.

wintel64-static

This is the Windows 64 bits build mode with static linking.

wintel32

This is the Windows 32 bits build mode with dynamic linking.

wintel32-static

This is the Windows 32 bits build mode with static linking.

Future Build Modes

linarm64

This is the Linux ARM (64 bits) build mode with dynamic linking.

linarm64-static

This is the Linux ARM (64 bits) build mode with static linking.
