Don't know about that.

hi,

I know achim (he's sitting next to me).

I've just tried the same. Suse 7.0 - RPM is not able to install the rpms. Using alien on an debian machine I've found out this: the fpc-1.0.5-src-rpm contains just and only a *.tar.gz.

That's one of this points where I ask myself... :-)

I'ld suggest putting .tar.gz of 1.0.5 binary and source on http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php3?&language=english

nice. what about a hint on the web page?

I've just discovered that the fpc binary on the web page doesn't contain the units (classes, control, forms). they are in the source - uncompiled.

what about adding a tutorial on the lazarus page showing the "Hundred steps to make lazarus running"... ?

Title: rpm\'s incompatible w. Suse RPM

Entered by: Achim Schmitt

I can\'t unpack the rpms on my Suse 7.0 System:

indian:/tmp/download/fpc # rpm -qlp fpc-1.0.5-laz.20010401.src.rpm only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM query of fpc-1.0.5-laz.20010401.src.rpm failed
indian:/tmp/download/fpc #

please put a .tar.gz of fpc1.0.5-src in the web page. as

Has anyone else these problems and can tell me exactly how to reproduce the errors?

hi again. I've just lost some nerves.

lazarus tried to compile every unit (controls, forms, button...), so I had to copy all these .pp's into my test directory. (ok, I could have chmod'ed the lazarus source dir, but this is linux).

after a whole bunch of trouble Project/Build completed without error. but when doing Project/Run I see this wonderful "$%&$%&$%&"-DialogBox.

when starting "project1" by hand it says:
LM_SCREENINIT called --> should go to GTKObject.Init TODO: check this
forms.pp - finalization section

that's all.
Ugly.

hi,

there's another annoying bug: I can create a project, and save it. but when restarting lazarus it fails in automagically reading the last project active. The appearing dialog says:

Unable to convert text form data of file "..../unit1.lfm". (Identifier expected in line 2)

There are two buttons in the dialog: OK and Cancel. Whatever button I click lazarus shuts down.

When trying to create a new project, lazarus dies. His famous last words are: Gdk-ERROR **: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) serial 8382 error_code 9 request_code 14 minor_code 0

Title: Opening an old project

Entered by: Vasily

When you load an old project (no matter, App or not) the source (main unit) will not be loaded, but
second unit will be. Nothing good will be in Show Units/Forms, and even compiling project.
