FPgui can create a GUI directly using a graphic subsystem without needing an external Widget Set. Right now it can use X11.

Maybe it can be made using OpenGL.

This done it maybe can be made using WebGL and with that it could create a remote GUI on a (Firefox or Chrome) browser (which, IMHO, would be a very desirable feature).

Any thoughts ?

Yes, please discuss fpgui in the fpgui newsgroup:

This has been already done earlier. With quite good results actually. The basics are implemented it's just a matter of resolving the dirty details one by one and getting the behaviour exactly the same as on the other backends.

Sorry but impossible. homeip.net is blocked by our firewall :(

Sounds great. With OpenGL working I suppose WebGL is doable

http://scandraid.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/scandraid/src/branches/fpgui/

I am just interested in the "LCL"-kind of interfacing fpGUI. Unfortunately right now I can't compile such a project with "X11" from the current svn :( (this did work some months ago). So doing additional tests does not make much sense for me in the moment.

Thanks.

Then I suggest that you contact the maintainers of fpgui directly or use the Lazarus-other mailing list for these off topic posts.

When will you have it ready?

While I do know that fpGUI itself is not distributed within the Lazarus svn, Lazarus can provide the fpGUI Widget type selectable in the project options (and as said in the original message I only refer to this "Lazarus-" Type of fpGUI, not the "stand-alone" version. That (and the fact that I esteem fpGUI a very decent (work in progress) part of Lazarus, I did suppose that further viable extensions of same should be discussed here.

The basis for this would be an at least partly decently working "Lazarus-" version of fpGUI for X11. Unfortunately right now I'm not even able to compile it. (I keep trying with each update in either svn.)

Lazarus LCL-fpGUI widgetset discussions are indeed on-topic here. I guess your original message just wasn't that clear. And just to be clear, fpGUI Toolkit discussions (non LCL-xxx related) must indeed be done in the fpGUI newsgroups, or you can email me directly.

I haven't tried to compile LCL-fpGUI in a while. What is the exact error message that you get, then I'll take a quick look.

You can discuss how to use the opengl backend of gtk2, fpgui, etc with the LCL on this list. But it makes no sense to discuss the implementation of the opengl backend for gtk2, fpgui, etc here.

Patch supplied in Mantis report #19603.
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19603

Attached is a screenshot showing a test LCL-fpGUI project running.

PS:
Wow, the whole compiling of LCL has changed a lot in Lazarus Trunk! Even changing the target widgetset in a project is now very different. Took a while to figure it out, but not too bad. Just another thing I'll have to get used too. ;-)

I didn't get that error. I got a compiler error due to class name changes in fpGUI itself. Anyway, your problem looks like there are multiple copies of *.ppu files lying around or something. I would recommend you clear out the lcl/units/i386-linux/fpgui/ directory, and make sure your symlinks to fpGUI are setup correctly. Attached is a listing of my lcl/interfaces/fpgui/ directory. NOTE the two symlinks pointing to the actual fpGUI repository.

To test, I used the latest Lazarus Trunk r31315, and latest fpGUI 'master' branch. Compiled with 64bit FPC 2.4.5 under Ubuntu 11.04.
