I just downloaded this new version for Windows 32 and tried to install packages (LCLextension 0.6 and VirtualTreeView 5.5.3) but always get an error on this function in OLEUTILS:

------------------------------------------
function TOLEStream.Seek(Offset: Integer; Origin: Word): Integer;
var
   liResult, liOffset : LARGE_INTEGER;
   Res: HRESULT;
begin
   //soFrom* constants are equal to STREAM_SEEK_* constants. Assume it here
   liOffset.LowPart:=Offset;
   liOffset.HighPart:=0;
   {$if FPC_FULLVERSION >= 30100}
   Res:=FSrcStream.Seek(QWord(liOffset), Origin, QWord(liResult));
   {$else}
   Res:=FSrcStream.Seek(Int64(liOffset), Origin, Int64(liResult)); <------   oleutils.pas(110,64) Error: Call by var for arg no. 3 has to match exactly: Got "Int64" expected "QWord"
   {$endif}
   Result:=liResult.LowPart;
   if Res  S_OK then
     Raise Exception.Create('TOLEStream - Error while seeking: '+ErrorString(Res));
end;

AFAIK this (oleutils) is not art of Lazarus of fpc, so the issue should be fixed by the maintainer of that package.

Bart

Yes, this is caused by one of the two changes pf 3.0.2. See http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.0.2#Classes

Jürgen appears to already have the fixed version, with the correct ifdefs:

This should work, the error message is in the branch of the conditional that should not be taken at all...

Martok

The conditional should be {$if FPC_FULLVERSION >= 30001} instead of {$if FPC_FULLVERSION >= 30100} because the change was backported to 3.0.2.

Can it be built with some other FPC version, like 3.0 too?

Yes. Starting from 2.6.4 all FPC versions are supported.

Ondrej

Yes, you can.

Oh. Right. Read that line multiple times and didn't notice the digit was in a different place...

Luiz apparently has this fixed in another repo, but not in the version that is in CCR?

Martok

Thanks,
then if I use 3.0.0 will there be differences in Lazarus compared to using 3.0.2?
I have a 3.0.0 seed compiler I use to build fpc on an RPi3, can I use the same for Lazarus (it is just the ppcarm file)? Or does it use some fpc sources as well so I have to point the build to those?

The CCR version is deprecated as pointed in the source file

<https://github.com/blikblum/luipack/commit/403fd0c047cafe98e2622a>

I updated the lclextensions package in
https://github.com/blikblum/VirtualTreeView-Lazarus/releases

Yes, using the updated version 0.6.1 of lclextensions fixed the issue. Many thanks.
