Hi.

I have downloaded (using cvs) the last version of lazarus for windows. I have downloaded "Free Pascal Compiler version 1.0.10 [2003/06/27] for i386" and the result of the "make command" has been OK.

But when I try to compile the initial "Project1" I get next "Messages":

syswin32.pp(5,1) Hint: Conditional I386 was set at startup in last
compilation of syswin32.pp
project1.lpr(6,13) Fatal: Can't find unit INTERFACES

And I do not get to compile... I have looked for information in list archive but it is offline at this moment, in google neither.

In "Compiler Options for Project: Project1" I have all field in blank except:
"Other Sources: (.pp/.pas
files)==$(LazarusDir)\lcl\;$(LazarusDir)\lcl\interfaces\$(LCLWidgetType)\"

Could someone help me?

Thanks.

Yes. Probably this is here the case.

The lpi file shows no required packages for this project. If you add the LCL and your package to the dependencies in the project inspector, you can omit the biggest part of the search paths.

and to the packages include directory as well. However I'm not sure if the file broke _after_ the version attached or not... you tell me. The only other version I have is the one that I've already added compiler settings to the project manually.

The "Other Sources" is only for the IDE, and is not given to the compiler. The compiler options dialog has a button "Show Options". This shows the command line parameters for the compiler. What does it show?

Wow! Where'd that come from?!?

Seriously, never noticed that option - that kind of clears up my questions about how all these paths should get set.

Thanks!

Hi. Of course, The problem has been solved with your solution, I check the LCL widget and I set it to win32.

I added a "default" LCL widget type. It;s win32 under win32 and gtk else.

So, we don't need the FAQ.

Mattias

This wasn't the problem for me - last night after a CVS update, I had the same problem. My problem was caused by my project having no paths set in the specific project options, and it wasn't pulling the default settings from the IDE.

I had to add:
$(LazarusDir)/lcl/units/;$(LazarusDir)/packager/units/;$(LazarusDir)/lcl/units/$(LCLWidgetType)/ to the "Other Unit Files"

and $(LazarusDir)/lcl/ to the "Other Sources" in the "Run + Compiler Options" after loading the project. I also had to manually give it paths in there for each of the custom packages my project uses.

I was assuming this was related to the package bug that was recently found. Wasn't something said about compiler settings for things saved during that short buggy period might have been lost?

The project of course is CheckBook Tracker. Attached is the lpi from before I added the extra paths (I had just released version 1.0 and tarred up the sources for safekeeping, this is from that.) Keep in mind this project compiled just fine a few days ago. After CVS update it suddenly wouldn't until I added all the Lazarus source paths into the project compiler options. I also had to add the paths to all of the packages I use, and to the packages include directory as well. However I'm not sure if the file broke _after_ the version attached or not... you tell me. The only other version I have is the one that I've already added compiler settings to the project manually.

Thanks,

Hi,

Check if the LCL Widget type is set to win32 in the first tab of the compiler options.

Mattias,
could this be added to the FAQ.

Some question from me:
- Why don't I have to set the path to the compiled LCL units in the compiler options dialog? Is it because the LCL is installed as package?
- What is the purpose of the other sources paths?

Vincent Snijders

I

have downloaded "Free Pascal Compiler version 1.0.10 [2003/06/27] for i386" and the result of the "make command" has been OK. But when I try to compile the initial "Project1" I get next

"Messages":

files)==$(LazarusDir)\lcl\;$(LazarusDir)\lcl\interfaces\$(LCLWidgetType) \"

Could someone help me? Thanks.

Yes, but what is the right answer?

Some question from me: - Why don't I have to set the path to the compiled LCL units in the compiler options dialog? Is it because the LCL is installed as package?

Yes. See Compiler options -> Inherited. The LCL package adds the neccessary paths.

- What is the purpose of the other sources paths?

It's an addition to "Other unit files". "other sources paths" is not given to the compiler.
Giving the compiler the path to sources and the compiled units can result in recompilation. That's why you often only exclude the path to the sources (.pp,.pas). But for find declaration you need the source path. Since we got packages, most source/unit paths are handled automatically. You can see them in the "inherited" tab of the compiler options.

Mattias

Either your project didn't use the LCL package, or you found a bug. On bug: Can you give more details about the project, or even send the lpi file to me?

Mattias

Hi.

Of course, The problem has been solved with your solution, I check the LCL widget and I set it to win32.

Thanks.

P.D.: My email server has been fallen two days... I am sorry
