Hi,

try this:

New Package with new component derived from TComponent, select an *.png as icon and compile

I get this error message:

component1.pas(8,22) Fatal: Can't find unit LResources used by Component1

My lazarus
Lazarus 0.9.31 r31679M FPC 2.4.4 i386-linux-gtk 2

Same error for lazarus win XP !

Fixed in svn trunk.

fix is ok if you do it the way i explained above BUT:

remove component1.pas from the compiled example package above and add component1.pas again to that package!
I get the error message again: "component1.pas(8,22) Fatal: Can't find unit LResources used by Component1"

And now we are at the root of my real problem - perhaps you remember that thread - add the delphi unit findfile1.pas to a new package with uses

   Classes, SysUtils, , Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs;

I allways get "Can't find unit LResources used by findfile1"

i can add my findfile1.pas to a package if i reduce the uses clause to uses

   Classes, SysUtils ;

But thats no solution, i want a component icon and therefor i need "LResources"

Adding a unit to a package does not (yet) validate the uses section(s) of the unit.

Have you tried right clicking on the message?

There should be two menu entries:
- Remove unit from uses section
- Search unit

The second searches in all open packages and allows to add a dependency.

Hi Mattias,

all troubles are gone since i realized after ages that i have a corrupted component icon.lrs.

Some experiences i made:
Lazarus IDE is frozen for this compiler directive: {$I findfile1_icon.lrs}
in the actual opened unit and lazarus tells in a message box if i compile the package
"findfile1_icon.lrs doesn't look like a ascii(!!!) file"

"Yes, lazarus i now know its not looking like a ascii file, its a corrupted lazarus resource containing a bitmap. "

Why does the IDE freezes in this situation?
I just sit there looking at the code and the IDE freezes! Does it scan the content of the file mentioned in the directive {$I findfile1_icon.lrs} ?

Hard trouble for a newbee, but i didn't give up :-))

Thanks for your assistance!

John

Can you send me this file?

I just sit there looking at the code and the IDE freezes! Does it scan the content of the file mentioned in the directive {$I findfile1_icon.lrs} ?

Yes, of course.

See attachment ...

I used the new compiled lazres.exe from lazarus to produce this resource file and tfindfile.png ( = convertet bitmap using irfanview.exe )

But i used lazres.exe today again and the result is ok, so just look for the freezing IDE , i suggest.

By the way /lazarus/examples/lazresexplorer/ -> error if you try to open a perfect *.lrs

Access violation. Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Cancel to kill the program.

Should this app be able to show the image in *.lrs ? -------------- next part --------------
