Hi there all you nice Lazarus people.

Question one.
If i am not mistaken the only way to add components onto the lazarus pallet is to add it to the source tree and then rebuild lazarus. will there ever be an option to install components without rebuilding Lazaras (Like Kylix do)?

Question two.
What can anybody suggest as a good designing tool. Something that can be used to develop diagrams, documents and everything to do a proper design document for a system.

Thank you.

This is due to FPC. I understand the FPC 1.1 tree is beginning to support the features to do this. However, we've made things very easy for adding components. Mattias' package management system is awesomely easy to use, and will automatically rebuild Lazarus for you. All you do is open a package file and click "Install". When it's done, just close and re-open Lazarus for it to be available.

There's also a hack I wrote that allows you to install single components without having to hand-edit the Lazarus source - it's also accessible from the components menu. Personally I recommend the package system though. ;-)

So basically, no, you must rebuild Lazarus, but it's so simple to do now, it really doesn't matter.

Hy all,

i just subscribed to the mailing list yesterday.

I posted 3 bugs and fixes to the bug list some days ago.

* First Question:

Is it better to post bugs here than in the buglist?

* Second Question:

What is the best way to post fixes/enhancements ?

Regards,

Claude

You can put it wherever you like. Just make sure, that it can be compiled (i.e. output directory is writable).

The buglist is preferred. There is less chance that a bug is messed. If everything works OK (Michael help !!) the bugs are also posted to this list.

If they are small, posting here is ok, otherwise ask

Marc
