Dear maintainers,

may I ask to merge rev 62042 into fixes_2_0 for the next patch release?

This change from 2019 fixed building Lazarus with sparta_DockedFormEditor (see #34899), which is still broken in 2.0.10.

Juha mentioned in #37968 that the sparta_Generics package will go away once 3.2 is the minimum requirement, but r62042 solves the issue for new FPC while keeping compat with old. And since the official Windows installers come bundled with FPC 3.2, the bug occurs with the current distribution.

Thanks,

Martok

There was an attempt to merge it to 2.0.10 but conflicts prevented it. I did not study deeply how to solve them.
There will be no more patch releases for 2.0.x series. The next release will be 2.2.
For now I would recommend Lazarus trunk for you. It works very well now.

Juha

Ah, right, well that also solves the issue :-)

Personally I've been using nothing but trunk of both Lazarus and FPC since some time during the FPC 2.7 cycle... other, more conservative people have asked me about this bug and it seemed like a good thing to backport.

Also, sorry about the double message. My mail server gave me an error after sending the first, but obviously that got through just fine.
