Title: Find&Replace Dialog is mispositioned after first use

Entered by: Mattias Gaertner

The first time the find&replace dialog is shown, it is positioned in the correct place, i.e. it tries to not hide the cursor. On any further use, it is centered on the screen.

Title: make fails on windres

Entered by: iplayfast

Updated using cvs, make fails on windres. (delete *.rc and then make to see what I mean).

Wintypes,procs etc is D1. Afaik in D2+ they are only legacy. One shouldn't use them anymore.

Title: downloads - crash binary, crash source

Entered by: Jim

Hi,

Don\'t know if this is a bug so much as a lack of
setup data.
Downloaded binaries and source (Win32). Ran
binary from lazarus directory on D-drive. DOS
window resulted in multiple GTK errors and then the program froze, with all panels drawn.
Compiled source with fpc 106 and had to manually
build the lazarus.res file, fpc could not locate the images directory for lazarus. The resultant exec-
utable was 7.3mb. Crashed when run with DOS box
showing all Windows procedures names\' as they
were run.
One small grey panel showed which when closed,
was replaced by a larger grayed panel with two
tabs at the top l;abelled something like \'hm1\'
and \'hm2\'.
If I place the binaries download in the fpc
directory, will it run correctly?

The current Win32 binary available uses GTK+ as the widget set. This binary is now several weeks old. Many new features have been added since this was built.

The usual stable GTK libraries available for Win32 are missing some features that are currently being used in Lazarus. These new functions are available in some of the newer very alpha Win32 versions of GTK. However the FCL does not support these newer libraries. I made a special version of the FCL using these new libraries to be able to build Lazarus with the newer GTK. The GTK libraries supplied with the Win32 binary available are required. If you have a mix of GTK libraries or it is point to the wrong libraries there is a possibility of strange behavior.

If you attempt to build Lazarus with source for Win32-GTK you will continue to have problems because the 1.0.6 version of FPC still supports the old GTK libraries.

Since GTK-Win32 is really, really, unstable is why more of a major effort is being applied to writing the Win32 API widget interface for the LCL. This way Lazarus can be compiled and built to use the Native Windows API.

The problem is that at this time this effort is being handle by just one individual.

If you would like to see a stable Win32 version of Lazarus Keith would welcome any and all help in finishing up the interface. He has done a bang up job and has the majority of the LCL components working using Win32 but there is still more to go to get the IDE in a stable condition.

As soon as the Win32 interface becomes more stable we will be able to create nightly builds of the Lazarus IDE but until now it mean that you have to get the source out of CVS and build it yourself. Hopefully that will change in the very near future.

Hi!
WOW, Okay!

Hi,
Could it be possible to use Jedi Jwa*.pas Win32API (LGPL) files to support the interface and be compatible with Delphi units? Like WinTypes, etc... James

Hi all!

I had the same thing happen to me.

Read my previous post on Compilation Errors.

I did get it to compile (except for lazarus.rc) all the way, by "make clean all".

But when I try to install from source "make install" I get this;
