Dear list,
I have a problem compiling PowerPDF and seek your knowledge to solve it.
I've written a program on Linux where the PowerPDF works perfectly, but
when I tried to compile it on the machine at work (Windows XP) it gives
an
"Illegal type conversion 'Short String' to 'PChar'"
in powerpdf/pdftypes.pas lines 1007, 1010 and 1146 (see below).
I'm using Lazarus 1.0, FPC 2.6.0 and PowerPDF 0.9.9.
Thanks in advance
Tobias

Hm... I'm using PowerPDF fine on Windows 7.
I even managed to remove the dependency of LCL to be able to create PDFs and
CGI applications:
Interesting.
Do you think the basics could be included in the standard FPC distribution ?
Michael.
