These are definitly not the latest. You could try them it is just the dlls need. It doesn't include all the extra stuff you get from the gtk site. You could try them and see what happens.

Hi all,

Last night I downloaded, and compiled Lazarus, and the GTK libraries from http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/ (which is where www.gtk.org says to get the Win32 libraries from).

When I attempt to run Lazarus I get the error: "The Lazarus.exe file is linked to missing export GTK-1.3.DLL:gtk_paned_set_gutter_size."

Can someone please help me with this error?

Thanks,

Chris

copy this file to c:\pp\source\packages\gtk

then compile using make in the gtk directory the output will be gtk.ow and gtk.ppw copy these units to the units directory and then recompile lazarus. Drop all ppw an ow files from the lazarus , lcl, interfaces/gtk directories and recompile lazarus this should fix the problem.

If you have troubles doing that let me know I can send you compiled ppw and ow files for gtk.

The problem is that there was a missing export in the latest GTK dll's

Hi Clif,

I think I followed your suggestions to the letter, but still was unable to get Lazarus to go around the same problem.

So I was curious, is it possible for me to get older GTK dlls from somewhere?

Thanks,

Chris

This is normal. It's early in the development of the IDE, we are still finalizing the LCL.

Feel free to add to the IDE and send the code (difs or whatever) to the list.

Today, I will look into it and make a lazarus executable with the latest gtk dll's.

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the response, I also have Linux on my system, but was unable to get Lazarus to compile there, I don't recall what the error was though.

Could you tell me what I need to do to get Lazarus to compile under Linux?

Thanks once again,

Michael,

Thanks for the different version of the files.

I recompiled, and now I get:

"The Lazarus.exe file is linked to missing export
GDK-1.3.dll:gdk_cursor_unref.

Any suggestions?

Chris

I have been trying to get the file but it either starts the download and fails or doesn't start at all with a temporary overload statement. What you can do is upload to the lazarus directory on the ftp site yourself. I have renamed the file that is there to gtk-dlls_old.zip

Just upload to

ftp://lazarus.freepascal.org/lazarus/

Be sure to name the file gtk-dlls.zip

Please note that this feature is available to anyone who had something they want to make available to the Lazarus project. Just upload to the directory indicated above and then announce the fact that it is there.

Hi Marc,

Ok, I got Lazarus to run under linux, sorta.

I was unable to make or edit forms, and only the Standard Tab had options that made scense, the second tab had a select list, and the rest were blank.

Is this normal? or did I do something else wrong?

Thanks,

Chris

In a later stage the console might be removed. For now it is used to log our (debug) messages.

If everything works OK you would heve seen more. Howerver there is a poblem in the win32 verion (and not in linux version) which results in a continues update of the toolbar. You've probably seen the huge amout of messages this produces. There is currently worked on but it is hard to track down since most development takes place under Linux.
Watch this list to see when it is fixed.

Marc

Most of it is covered in the Howto:
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/how.php3?language=english#LINUX

Basically:
Get & install CVS
Get & install FPC
Get the latest sources from CVS
Do a make in the rtl, fpc, packages/gtk and finally lazarus dir.

Thats all :-)

Marc

Don't play with older versions of the gtk dll's. We need the latest. Unfortunately the latest missed a ref to gtk_paned_set_gutter_size.

it is declared in packages/gtk/gtk/gtkpaned.pp. Comment out that declaration.

Marc

That's normal! It is the current state of play for the project.

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and now Lazarus lives.

But I was wondering, is it supposed to open a console window when you run Lazarus? I have also installed Gimp and it brings up a console window for a couple seconds and then goes away.

I also noticed that the menu bar doesn't come up until I run my mouse (and click) where the menu options are. Makes me wonder what else I'm not seeing. At this point I have two rows of icons, the first one deals w/ file saving and opening, and new files. The second row deals w/ GUI items such as menu bars, radio buttons ect. Is this all that is supposed to be displayed?

Thanks for the help everyone,

Chris

Today I finished the MakeOptionsString function from the compileroptions.pp unit. This function returns a string of compiler options from the dialog. I also changed the compiler.pp unit to utilize this function. So this should now make the Compiler Options dialog fully functional with compiling.

One thing to note with the Search Paths. They need to be separated with a ; (semi-colon). It will parse them, breaking them at the ; character, and will insert the proper compiler switch before each path (-Fu, -Fi, etc.).

I put the latest dll's in gtk-dlls.zip which can (temporarily) be downloaded from http://huizen.dds.nl/~vrs/gtk-dlls.zip
Micheal, can you put this file on the website?

The modified gtkpaned.pp can at the moment be found at http://huizen.dds.nl/~vrs/gtkpaned.pp
I wrote an email to Peter Vreman, asking if he could update the CVS with this file.
