[fpc-devel] Extending win32 definition
Hi, I would like to extend the win32 RTL definition files about new records, constants and functions defined in Win98 and later. I have several questions: 1. can I simply add the new definitions into already existing files (defines.inc, struct.inc)? 2. does not it break the compatibility with Win95? Especially adding new functions. I can see that the functions are already defined (in the file redef.inc) but are commented out.

[fpc-devel] Repository access via the SVN protocol
Hi, Would whoever is running the Free Pascal / Lazarus repository consider enabling the SVN protocol as well. Currently only the HTTP protocol is enabled. (example: GCC has both protocols enabled at svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/ or via http://gcc.gnu.org/svn/) I have also heard that using the HTTP protocol has a higher server overhead associated with it and is normally slower compared to the SVN protocol, though I know how handy it is via a firewall. The reason I'm asking: It seems that somewhere our ISP in South Africa is blocking or filtering something, which causes us not to be able to access the http://www.freepascal.org/svn repository. It is very frustrating to download huge nightly builds every day (7Mb for Lazarus and 20Mb for FPC). This also make it really difficult to help development on these projects and generate patch files, as the nightly builds do not contain the .svn directories. Every SubVersion server I could find using the SVN protocol seem to work fine, the same cannot be said for the HTTP protocol. I really hope, whoever is in charge of the repositories will consider this request.

I could create an account that allows read-only access via svn+ssh. I'd rather not use plain svn, only as a last resort.

[fpc-devel] cp.exe (GNU fileutils for Windows)
Hi, There were previously problems with cp.exe from Mingw port of GNU fileutils and some read only directories mostly from .svn. Those problems force additional step (SVN export) during FPC build under Windows which is really annoying ,time expensive and not needed. To avoid this step I've fixed cp.exe in two ways: - before opening/creating/deleting destination files it now tries to re-set file attributes (using WinApi SetFileAttributes) so read-only attribute should be no problem - it does not exit with error when cannot set datetime attribute of read-only folders (especially with . in name) Error is reported but program do not exit I think it is also consistent with cp.exe --preserve option description which clearly states that it preserve attributes *if possible* Binary and sources (also for other fileutils) based on Mingw 4.0 fileutils sources are temporary here: www.bransoft.com/update/fileutils-bin.zip www.bransoft.com/update/fileutils-src.zip Please ,download it and test.I've tested it on my Windows XP and works good, but more tests are required especially on Win9X (I don't even know if it work on Win9X) URL's will be available during next few days.

[fpc-devel] MSEide + MSEgui -> FPC Wiki
Hi, would the FPC team mind if we'd use the FPC Wiki to document the use of the MSEGui library and the Ide ? It is completely written in pascal, voiding the need to endlessly update bindings to gtk/qt etc :-) kind regards, Den Jean ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

Looks like a pretty cool widgetset for lazarus to me... Hi, would the FPC team mind if we'd use the FPC Wiki to document the use of the MSEGui library and the Ide ?
