Re: [fpc-pascal] New website www.lazarussupport.com launched
Our company has launched the new www.lazarussupport.com website. It's a new website about Free Pascal and Lazarus for new users. The goal is to try to get more attention for Lazarus and to help new users to start. The site is still very basic, the goal is to extend it in the future. As you can see the layout of the site is based on the design from Bee. The complete website is running on the fpWeb framework. Please take a look and tell what you think about it. It looked good to me. The layout is clear and clean. The content seems appropriate for new users. A FAQ on building dynamic libraries would be a good addition from my point of view.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Free Pascal 2.4.0 released

Looks as something related to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function#Delphi ? If so then this is already implemented in delphi. From my understanding, Delphi's so-called Anonymous Functions work as closures - the inner function/procedure having access to the variables of the outer function/procedure even if the outer function has completed execution. Delphi's anonymous functions can have names so they don't seem to be so anonymous. Anonymous functions were implemented in Delphi 2009. Apparently, they are referred to as anonymous functions as the term closures is used for something different in C++ Builder.

Graeme Where do you get these for OS X? Try http://www.macports.org/ or http://www.finkproject.org/ Personally, I have found MacPorts easy to use. Regards Peter ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Re: [fpc-pascal] very simple text indexing system
On 27 Jan 2009, at 14:47, Graeme Geldenhuys wrote: Hi, I would like to implement a very simple text indexing system (full text search) for one of our products. I know there are a few products our there I can use in combination with RDBMS etc... But I would like to keep the 3rdParty components down to a minimum. So I thought, if I could implement something myself and be able to compile it into our software, that would be great. I must admit, I have no idea how text indexing software work. So maybe my idea is unrealistic. Either way, does anybody think something like this is possible in a few days? Anybody got some articles or documents explaining the basics of how text indexing and full text search systems work? This may help - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-text_index From giving a little help to a Rebol text indexing project, I would think that a few days is very optimistic. The user documentation for that project may give you an indication of what is likely to be involved - http://www.rebol.org/documentation.r?script=skimp.r Regards Peter ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
Re: [fpc-pascal] Installing on Mac OS X
A book like The Visual QuickPro Guide to Unix for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell is more likely to answer the questions you are asking at the moment than a Mac OS X book. I don't think that either of the books has been updated for OS X 10.5 yet. This shouldn't be a big problem as I don't think that anything much changed at the Unix level between the two OS versions.

FPC should do the same imho (for Mac OS X). FPC is a unix command line application. Those belong under /usr/ local/ (it's the reason of existence for that hierarchy). Putting it under / Developer would not make it any easier to use, since / Developer (or / Developer/fpc/usr/bin or so) is not in the default command line path either, and there is not a single double- clickable application in the Mac OS X FPC distribution (well, none that does anything useful when you execute it like that anyway).
