Hi,

attached Delphi unit containes TFindFile and a register procedure.

I can add findfile1 to the uses clause of a project and then i can TFileFind.Create ...use it ... no probs.

But if i put findfile1.pas to a new or existing package i can compile the package but i cannot install it to lazarus IDE. Error -> findfile1.pas not found, what ever i do with the package settings!

Any idea what i'm missing?

Is the 'Use unit' enabled in the package editor for this unit? Can you compile the package?

Error -> findfile1.pas not found, what ever i do with the package settings! Any idea what i'm missing?

Mattias

"use unit" and "register unit" is checked in package settings and i can compile the package!

I have a german language Lazarus IDE so i don't know the english captions of these checkboxes

And then you click 'Install'. And what happens?

Mattias

i get this german error message:

Kann die Datei "findfile1.pas" nicht finden.
Falls sie zum Projekt geh?rt, pr?fen Sie den Suchpfad in der Startseite von Projekt->Compilereinstellungen ... unter Andere Unit-Dateien. Wenn die Datei zu einem Package geh?rt, m?ssen dessen Einstellungen gepr?ft werden. Falls die Datei zu Lazarus geh?rt, mu? sichergestellt sein, da? die IDE sauber kompiliert ist. Geh?rt die Datei zu FPC mu? die fpc.cfg ?berpr?ft werden. Bei Unklarheiten hilft der Button Test unter Projekt -> Compilereinstellungen ... -> Test

In Package settings, other units:
$(PkgOutDir);findfile

findfile is the directory if findfile1.pas

The dependent packages/projects only need the $(PkgOutDir). Change the compiler paths of the package instead.

findfile is the directory if findfile1.pas

Mattias

New in Package settings, other units:
$(PkgOutDir)

but no success, same error message

I'll try to write a clean new lazarus unit findfile1 an try again.

p.s.
The button Test in package settings gives the following hint: ANMERKUNG: using config file /etc/fpc.cfg

That's my first package in lazarus so i have to think about last WARNUNG

But even if i insert findfile1 to an existing, working package ( not from me! ) i get this error message, strange !

Uh, its saturday and i have to get something to eat for next week :-))

Do we have another object TFileFind in a standard lazarus IDE ?

Set the 'Package Options / Usage' to default values:
Package Options / Usage / Unit := $(PkgOutDir)
Package Options / Usage / all other := leave empty

Add the 'findfile' directory to
Compiler options / Paths / Other Unit Files

Remove the 'findfile' directory from any other search path you have altered.

When you add an unit to the package the IDE normally asks if it should do this for you.

The aboves are only warnings. If you don't use these units you can ignore them.
BTW, I recommend to use 2.4.4 with Lazarus svn trunk.

Yes.
Maybe this helps:
A normal package has some sources and creates ppu/o files that are put into the output directory. The project is compiled separately and only needs the ppu files.

But even if i insert findfile1 to an existing, working package ( not from me! ) i get this error message, strange !

Use Run / Clean up build files.

You can find out with Search / Find in Files or View / Codebrowser.

i found one problem in my unit findfile1.pas:

inserted the compiler directive

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

and now the package can be compiled to lazarus, and TFilefind appears in my component palette.

But there is the next problem.
If i add FileUtil to the uses clause of findfile1 -> error -> FileUtil not found.

But for me it's ok to have the working TFindFile in my component palette !

What for? It searches multiple file filters at once: *.xls;*.csv

Do you know a fpc function that can do that?

thanks for your help !!

John

I have a EnumDirs unit that does just that (it also allows for exclude filters).
