Hi, I want to install and try Indy cause i heard of some windows mobile cross compilation success with Lazarus.

But, the lazarus package is not able to install in the ide, and one of the developers that some days ago came on Lazarus IRC channel said i have to compile it as stand alone package and after that put it into Lazarus.

However, my compiling skills are so low, and i need some support.

I use windows.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. for me is indifferent wich indy version to use.

p.p.s. Some installation-semplicity-improvement would be appreciated... Lazarus packages are so comfortable...

Sorry... that was for the Indy's mailing list.

However if someone of you can help me to install that package i still need some help.

Sorry again.

Is there a mailing list? I am only aware of the newsgroup.

"Not able to install" is somewhat meaningless. Please describe what you do, and what error you get.

Please be aware: indy comes in one archive, containing two parts:
1. the fpc subfolder
- this contains the indy-core (aka. indy-rtl ? ): all the classes and stuff you need to compile indy-programs with fpc. This one does not need lazarus. This one has to be compiled and installed first.
2. the lazarus subfolder
- this contains the design-time components: all the things you need to create lazarus gui-apps using the lazarus component palette and form designer. AFAIK, these are not needed for compiling your projects (gui or console). Only for the RAD design process.

so here are the steps to do:
(this is on linux, but should be similar on win)

1. download the package from www.indyproject.org/Sockets/fpc/index.html
2. unpack it and change into indy/fpc/
3. run "make all"
4. run "make install"
5. run "make sourceinstall INSTALL_FPCSUBDIR=fpc/packages/extra"

Now you can compile indy-progs with fpc.

6. rebuild lazarus (not sure, if this is necessary, I do it because I allways recompile everything ;-) )
7. start lazarus
8. open the indy/lazarus/indylaz.lpk
9. compile and install it (this rebuilds the ide again)
10. now you should find a lot of indy components on your component palette.
11. have fun

Points 1 to 3 went good, i get this error at point 4: C:\indy\fpc>d:\ALVISE\Delphi-Lazarus\IDE\lazarus\fpc\2.1.1\bin\i386-win32\make.e xe install

How do I set "rtl" (and other) paths?

p.s. yes there's a mailing list too

try setting the envvar "FPCDIR" to point to fpc sources. In linux, I do a "export FPCDIR=/usr/local/share/src/fpc-2.1.1/fpc/" Hree this is only need when building a indy-rpm ..

p.s. yes there's a mailing list too

where ?

I tryed to set some environment variables under my computer -> system -> advanced -> environment variables
But make.exe seems to ignore them, is there any command to add them manually during compile?

I'm stuck here...

well, if you do it that way, you might need to close and re-open the console afterwards ..

But make.exe seems to ignore them, is there any command to add them manually during compile? I'm stuck here...

try "make install FPCDIR=/full/path/to/fpc-source/"

thanks

SET FPCDIR=c:\lazarus\fpc\2.1.1\source

Thanks, it worked (the point 4)

Now i'm stuck at point 5, i get that errors (before giving the make sourceinstall command i did a "C:\indy\fpc>set

here, only a relative path is needed:
"make sourceinstall INSTALL_FPCSUBDIR=fpc/packages/extra"

maybe it is necessary, that FPCDIR is still set (like in the step before)

I had errors trying to compile lazarus too (errors that i never had before, i always compiled it easily):
