Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
Leonardo is correct. The "Additional Info" fields are just the rest of the Microsoft "standard" version info keys, probably because they couldn't fit on the main panel. Although it's fun to pay homage to Microsoft with a Windows-style nested dialog approach, this dialog should have used a property list or grid or something where you can both enter values for the "standard" keys and also define new keys: MIMEType, Programmer, whatever your heart desires - i.e., like Delphi circa version 2.

Re: [Lazarus] Cocoa bindings
Maybe Florian could elaborate a bit on where the NDA issues lie. With developing a compiler, the run-time, the apps themselves? Sure it's a controlled environment. Welcome to the 21st century. Many of us develop software for organizations with extreme restrictions on what users can do with their computers. Apple's "review" process seems fairly tame by comparison. I was just seeing if anyone else was interested in joining the party. http://www.ipodnn.com/articles/08/12/05/300m.app.store.downloads/ It's not like we're getting married to the iPhone apps we develop. I think the idea is that you spend maybe a month doing it, then you submit it and wait and see if anyone likes it. Apple is assuming all of the marketing, credit card processing, currency exchange, hosting, etc. as well as a lot of responsibility that you don't have to worry about. For that they take 30% and transmit the other 70% into your bank account. You can also post free apps and Apple assumes the cost of distributing those for free. One of nice things about an open source project is that it's like running a company where you don't have to worry about running a business. And posting new versions is like running a store where you don't have to worry about whether customers actually buy anything. This seems like something kind of in the middle that should have quite a bit of appeal to a lot of developers. I predict it's the way a lot of software will be developed and marketed in the future.

[Lazarus] unusable/endlessly reloading mainIDE
First of all, sry for my English. Hardver: ASUS EEE 901, OS: UNR Ubuntu 8.10 I have tried to install several versions of Lazarus via Synaptic and SourceFourge, nameily 9.22, 9.24 and 9.26. The installation succeeded all the time but the IDE is unusable: the mainIDE endlessly reloads itself, making the left side of the panel vibrate: the buttons are unclikable here, however when I move the cursor above them, the hint appers sometimes. The pages appear and usually (but not always) clickable, but they are all empty. Since the menus are unopenable too, the rebuild of the IDE won't work. The IDE is not closeable with hotkeys or with the close button, and I can't switch to any other program or window after I launched Lazarus, forcing me to restart the machine after each try. I have absolutely no idea about what could be the trigger of this event, so I decided to ask your help to solve it. I have to mention that I am new to Linux, I was a Windows user recently.

Because if OS_HAS_DEFAULT_BROWSER = false then the compiler will optimise the
if call away (as it
can never actually execute) and the "Exit" can never be reached.
You would be just as effective using
{$IFDEF WINDOWS}
Exit;
{$ENDIF}

Hi there, Thank you all very much for your input. I cooked up some code that kind of works AFAICS. Only tested on my Suse for now, will test under Win9x some other time. Some questions of a more general nature remain: 1) When I execute the browser, using TProcess.Execute, how do I know if the process started OK (that is the executable started up at least)? 2) I found out that if you try to execute a file which does not have execute permission, the app gets killed, even if this a try..except block. "Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x4cf)!" Is this normal linux behaviour (I'm a newbie)? If someone wants to see what I came up with and even test it under different operating systems and desktop environments, I'll put the unit on my website.

Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
Well, no, in Additional Info you can use only a predefined set of fields. It could be great if Lazarus allow adding custom fields. Leonardo.

As much as I dislike the idea of making software to be sold only through a channel controled by Apple, the sales seem to be doing pretty well. See http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/10/21/iphone_app_store_continues_to_exceed_itunes_song_sales_growth.html and http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/09/12/iphone-apps-store-growing-twice-as-fast-as-itunes-music/ Seen from that prism, serious maybe be defined by "can be sold" + "low starting investment" + "sales".

If I had installed Lazarus (0.9.26) on a machine running OS 10.4, presumably it would compile and run programs ok? What I am getting at is, if Lazarus installs, runs and compiles on 10.4 then there either must be some configuration which gets set somehow, or nothing is required. If not, is there a list of what needs changing? I have not seen one. Personally, I do not know how to compile Lazarus at all, so certainly would not now how to compile without cwstrings, and this would be true for anybody meeting lazarus for the first time on a recent Mac, which will be either 10.4 or 10.5. I think a lot of Macs are still on 10.4. Geoffrey ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
