Hi,

I've recently made some changes to fpGUI (subversion trunk revision). It now compiles successfully on Linux/x84_64 using FPC 2.2.0. This includes the example applications included with fpGUI (example the UI Designer).

I unfortunately don't own a 64-bit PC and the remote server I have access to doesn't run a GUI, so can't actually execute any of the compiled applications. :-(

Could anybody willing, please give it a try and let me know if there are any issues?

I'm not sure what 64-bit platforms FPC supports though. fpGUI has been tested on 32-bit Linux, Windows and FreeBSD. I would now like to test on those same platforms, but for 64-bit.

I would really appreciate you help and feedback. Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
- Graeme -

Tested and ran menu example without a glitch.
Anything else you want to see tested explicitly ?

Great job, Graeme !!

Hi

I've tested every example existed.

Two issues:

1. It seems that label does not have the color property, at least FPC does not find it.
2. Font select is compiled but I have a sig serv on procedure TMainForm.CreateFontList;

Other then that, thinks works really great

You've made a really great job :)

Ido

This second one works just fine for me ?

Michael.

TfpgLabel as a TextColor and BackgroundColor property. Is that what you were looking for?

2. Font select is compiled but I have a sig serv on procedure TMainForm.CreateFontList;

Could you email the exact error or even a backtrace if possible please.

Thanks for your time and testing it for me Ido.

Thanks Michael. No there wasn't anything specific. I simply wanted it tested on as many platforms and systems possible. One can never be to sure. :)

I seem to recall that I had a similar problem (on a 32 bit platform) just because I didn't have an arial font of any kind installed. I replaced default font names with generic Serif and Sans, and I forgot about the problem.
Maybe it's unrelated, but just in case.

Ah, I think you might be on to something there. I always install the free Microsoft Core Web Fonts - most websites look so much better with them. I'll do some testing in that area. Thanks for the tip.

Well The code states (for example in alignment) lblNone.Color :=
clWhite; So that's a "bug" in the example :)

Ido

:-) I must have missed that one. I changed the Color property to TextColor in the last week. Now it's less ambiguous. I'll fix the example now, thanks.

Could you try what Giuliano suggested. Changing the default font from Arial to Sans.

gfxbase.pas line 63
    FPG_DEFAULT_FONT_DESC = 'Arial-10:antialias=true';

Though looking at your backtrace it seems to get all the way to the XftListFonts() call and fails there... I'll go read up on the parameter options again.

I'll try, although I do have core fonts installed ...

That's why I am thinking it's something else to do with the XftListFonts() call. I'll test tomorrow when I booted back into Linux.

Hello Graeme,

I can give you NX Server access to a 64 Bit CentOS Linux System runnin on Xen
in an Server Housing at least for some weeks maybe longer. You would have to use NX Client (www.nomachine.org) to get to the system.
If interested, I will create you an account - I am curios how a Remote NX Client
would perform used from South Africa here to Austria ... :-)

Contact me per Mail or Skype IM. (Skype Name is SirHelly/Austria Real Name: Helmut Hartl)

greets,

helmut

Guess why I asked about the NX stuff personally how it works ;)

It seems that the Sherlock Holmes in me is no the brightest one of all. :-)

I have another unused XEN Machine by now - Grame could do with the machine what ever he want's
to test his stuff - as long it's not illegal - the machine will get reformated after he is done.
I think the machine will not be used for a few months.

So you both could choose what ever variant makes you happy. ;-)

My personal interest in fpGUI comes, as i need to do a port of our (Delphi) SIP VoiP Client for
WinCE and Linux. And I am currently quite unsure what GUI Components to use ...
(Size,Speed and equal Appearance is what counts for us)

helmut

Hi,

It seems that you was able to solve the issue with the latest update.

Thanks

Ido

Is that open source or propietary? If the former, I'd be interested if it's possible to compile the sip engine under linux, I don't need a gui.

Bye

Hello list!

I have problems compiling an X client. The compiler says:

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.2.0 [2007/08/31] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2007 by Florian Klaempfl
Target OS: Linux for i386
Compiling pas/xdemo.pas
PPU Loading /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/i386-linux/x11/x.ppu Recompiling x, checksum changed for ctypes
Fatal: Can't find unit x used by xdemo
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)

Files x and xlib are available as objects (.ppu, .o) only. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Many thanks,

Anton.

Did you install a newer/different ctypes unit ? The compiler thinks you did.

Try compiling with -vu, so you can see which units are loaded.

Michael.

In fact, I wrote a unit 'ctypes.pas', not aware that this conflicts with a system unit. Thank you!

Anton.
