Hi,

Trying to send emails and load web pages from Lazarus/FPC programs.

Since the latest Indy cannot be compiled and used in Lazarus/Freepascal at the moment (it seems at least so), I have tried to start using lNet.

However, it seems it does not compile either.
The lNet SVN gives:
.
.
.
Compiling ...\lNet_svn\lib\lcommon.pp
lcommon.pp(319,4) Warning: User defined: check these ambiguous errors lcommon.pp(121,12) Error: Forward declaration not solved "GetHostName6(const AnsiString):AnsiString;"
lcommon.pp(122,12) Error: Forward declaration not solved "GetHostIP6(const AnsiString):AnsiString;"
lcommon.pp(498) Fatal: There were 2 errors compiling module, stopping Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: ...\pp\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)

Tried to just unzip the lnet-0.6.2.zip file of lNet and run a make there too, got the following:

.

.
Compiling ...\lNet\lib\lspawnfcgi.pp
lwebserver.pp(645,53) Error: absolute can only be associated with a var or const

lwebserver.pp(1119,4) Warning: User defined: TODO

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Did you try with fpc 2.2.4?

Vincent

No, just with the latest FPC/Lazarus SVN

Then you probably need the get back to 2.2.4 for the released lnet and to svn version of fpc from before the latest changes in the sockets unit.

Will check this. IPv6 was added to lnet recently, and it works with 2.2.5 (on linux at least). The functions mentioned are from the NetDB unit...

I got this reported with fpc 2.3.1 before too. If you use stable fpc, you need stable lnet. If you use trunk fpc, trunk lnet should work (but those IPv6 changes might have broken something there).

I've added some hacks to make it work with 2.5.1, you can find it here: http://menora.cnoc.nl/extern/fpc/lnet_251.tgz

What did you change? Btw. the forward declaration bug in windows was fixed in lNet trunk, so windows users can use it with fpc fixes branch at least... (didn't try fpc trunk).

NOTE: IPv6 will only work for unix atm.

lNet latest SVN revision 2316 gives

with the latest FPC svn rev 13686

Fixed, thanks for reporting.

Replaced the

'var lServerSocker: TLHTTPServerSocket absolute FSocket;'

constructs with:

'var lServerSocker: TLHTTPServerSocket;
begin
  lServerSocket:=TLHTTPServerSocket(FSocket);'

I don't know for sure that it is ok in all cases, but it works for me.

btw: attached is a patch for lNet. Some browsers (Opera) provide two parameters for the connection-tcp header, namely 'keep-alive' and 'TE'. (According to the specs this is valid)

This patch fixes the recognition of the 'keep-alive' parameter in this case.

Thanks for the patch, Micha will look into it. As for the absolute, I'll update lNet in fppkg when 0.6.3 goes out (hopefuly soon).
