Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus on Mac OS 10.5, 10.4
Mattias Gartner [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I installed the apple developer tools on a 10.5, installed laz and fpc and compiled lazarus without cwstring unit. The produced LCL applications run on 10.4 and 10.5. I didn't even alter the linker options or library paths as described in the wiki. So apparently a simple LCL app does not need much. Maybe some special controls need some special libs? 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.

Because if OS_HAS_DEFAULT_BROWSER = false then the compiler will optimise the

You would be just as effective using

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] The Windows daily snapshots
Hi folks, The Windows daily snapshots list Updating for few hours already. Is there something wrong? With best regards, Boian Mitov --- Mitov Software www.mitov.com ---___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] Making components interpreted?
The research could be sped up quite fast by looking at how Kylix implemented package loading some time ago. I think it had dynamic loading on Unix.

(it's not just a plugin system for Lazarus, but at the same time for the generated apps) Is this in the short / mid term pipeline? Nobody is currently working on it. There is even a trajectory of research before it. (to come up with the best approach to implement them on *nix) http://wiki.freepascal.org/packages Because I guess that's all I actually wanted, but thought that perhaps an interpreter would be a shortcut. I think the interpreter wouldn't be that much more easy to get workable, its is not just the IDE, but you need to define script-binary interfaces anywhere. But more importantly, it would break compatibility (with delphi, with the current situation) horribly, AND make packages dual language, dual-tool (pascalscript and native pascal). Despite being static, at least the packages system now is both versatile and Delphi pkgs can be ported reasonably fast. IMHO the solution is worse than the problem here. ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
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.
