Hi,

I've come across some old Lazarus IDE add-ons, and some old project where the forms still used LResources and *.lrs files. I've managed to convert one of the forms to use the standard *.res files instead, but I tried so many things I'm not actually sure what the correct steps are. Bottom line, it was a struggle as the *.lrs kept coming back.

Is there documentation or a wiki page on converting such old projects/forms to newer resources? Or does the IDE have this ability, but I simply haven't found it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

- Change resource format in the project options to FPC resources
- Change {$I *.lrs} in initialization section to {$R *.lfm}, optionally remove the initialization section if it doesn't contain any other code
- Remove LResources from uses clause
- Optionally remove existing .lrs

There is some info about switch to .res files in this forum thread: http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,22463.30.html . It might be of some help
