Hi

Nop. This appears in a popup windows, like an exception.

Or see <lazarusdir>/components/custom/README.

Thanks

here is an easy installation guide for single user under linux with cvs:

- download and install fpc 1.0.7 rpm from the lazarus site
- Create a directory (e.g. /home/name/freepascal) and cd to it.
- download the fpc sources:

export
cvs login

password is 'cvs' without the ''

cvs -z3 co -r FIXES_1_0_0 fpc

- download the lazarus sources:

cvs -z3 co lazarus

- compile lazarus:

cd lazarus
make

- start lazarus

./lazarus

- Set Environment -> Environment Options -> Files -> FPC Source directory to /home/name/freepascal/fpc

version 1.0.7 (soon 1.0.8) will not compile it. version 1.1 (the main development branch) may compile it.

Hi!!

I'm new in lazarus, but I know Delphi and Kylix, I like to contribute with you in this project that I see is really cool.

But I have a little problem, I download the cvs source, then I compile and works fine, I can add as many as I whant the components to the form, but when I double click to make an event or method, the Lazarus give me an error with the folowing text:

The component editor of class "TDEFAULTCOMPONENTEDITOR" has created the error "Unable to find method. Plz fix errors in source"

What can I do, I don't know what can I do to solve the problem...

And othe thing, in Kylix and Delphi I have VCL components:

1.- Can I compile and use this components with Lazarus. 2.- Can I make new components to Lazarus
3.- How can I do that.

Like I told you, I want to participate with you in this project.

Bruno Chavez

Maybe you added the lcl directory to your 'Other unit files'. Open the Compiler options, clear the search paths and use the '...' buttons to the right of the search paths to add the templates.

Are you trying to compile a Delphi application? The lazarus IDE setups all these things automatically, if you create a new application.

I installed the FPC via RPM the 1.0.6 version.

1.0.7 and its sources are required for lazarus. see lazarus or fpc website for download.

Mattias

Hi!!!

Ok, I see...

Version of the FPC???

I have FPC 1.0.7 and lazarus 0.8.5a

Thanks
Bruno Chavez

Hi!!

I recompiled the lazarus, and reinstall the FPC 1.0.6 with the sources... then return to the same problem...

All works fine, I can add component's to the form, but when I want to create an event (Double click) it tell me that "don't found the SysUtils unit'... I don't know what happen, because all the units are in the same dir, and the environment is by default...

Thanks
Bruno Chavez

I'm sorry. There was a bug for new, unsaved applications. I fixed that. It should work now.

that's so extrange because compile ok...

If you create a new project, the compilation will be done in the temporary directory, till you save the project.

Mattias

The database stuff is in the FCL, which is part of the FPC compiler.

Are there any component already working with lazarus??? Do you know if the Indy for kylix components work in lazarus???

It _may_ compile with version 1.1, because it needs threads, and version 1.0 does not support threads. You will also need Libc from the kylix sources.

Michael.

The TDefaultComponentEditor error occurred here already. I'm not sure of the answer but you can check the archives.

Your other questions:

>1.- Can I compile and use this components with Lazarus.

Yes in most cases if they are straight VCL without windows API calls, there is a good chance they will compile.

>2.- Can I make new components to Lazarus - Sure. Feel free. >3.- How can I do that. - Same as you do in Delphi. Then when you want

top add them to your Lazarus you need to add them to the idecomp.pp file. Look at the source of this file for other examples on how to add the components to the IDE's component bar.

Hope this helps
Shane

Yes. And the type of error is shown in the message window. I have changed the message, so it should be more clear.

Mattias

Hi!!!

Sorry, I'm trying to adapt with the lazarus, I'm reading all the source code to understand it...

I saw in the idecomp.pp a section to the Database and interbase....

Are there any component already working with lazarus???

Do you know if the Indy for kylix components work in lazarus???

Thanks
Bruno Chavez

This is the output in the terminal, I hope this can help

The only thing I do is... Insert a button... compile and run, close, give double click to the button...

Thanks

Yep, you'r right, If put a button, and save all, the and give the double click to the button, it works fine...

Do you have some VCL (Sorry I don't know what's the name in lazarus) for comunication?? like Ping, HTTP, etc??? and for databases????

Thanks for your help...

Bruno Chavez

It can't find the file buttons.pp.
Check
Run->Compiler Options->Search Paths->Other Sources for
$(LazarusDir)/lcl;$(LazarusDir)/lcl/interfaces/$(LCLWidgetType)

The FPC source path can be set via:
Environment -> General Options -> Files -> FPC source path

Mattias

Yep, you'r right, and I see the FAQ, and tell me that install and compile again the Lazarus, but I already do that, and still with the same error, and in the message window tell me that the button unit doesn't found

Do you know why????

Thanks
Bruno Chavez

Hi!!

I have now a bigger problem, because in the IDE of lazarus are correctly configured the paths (I think so), but now it doesn't find the interface unit, I don't know if the problem is for the FPC or the Lazarus..

I installed the FPC via RPM the 1.0.6 version.

Thanks...
Bruno

Hi again... sorry!!!

I made exactly what you told me...

I create a new form, and insert a simple button, compile ok, and run ok...

I double click the button to create an event...:

Don't find the button unit

that's so extrange because compile ok...

Thanks
Bruno Chavez

The TDefaultComponentEditor error occurred here already. I'm not sure of the answer but you can check the archives.

The source error is shown in the messages window.
If this is something like 'unit not found' check the FAQ.

Or see <lazarusdir>/components/custom/README.
