Thanks. Something like an additional boolean Tag, then.

Re: [Lazarus] Package and project file format

+1 for getting rid of unit count and numeric tag suffixes from XML 
project/package files. They always create trouble for version control.


-1 for switching to JSON. Seems radical and unjustified, in my opinion.

Hi,
+1 for this. And really it looks stupid to me to have a different tag 
for every item like Item1 or Unit1.

This has been a long standing annoyance for me too. XML, JSON etc don't 
need count properties... That's relics from INI file formats.

I am guessing the Count="xxx" attribute, and the numeric suffixes to
 ,  are there to read and write these files using
TXMLConfig class. Using TXMLConfig exposes an easy API to work with
XML files, but it limits what you can do --- all the children nodes
within the same parent must have a different name, so that you can do

File1 := XmlConfig.GetValue('Units /Unit1/FileName/Value');
File2 := XmlConfig.GetValue('Units /Unit2/FileName/Value'); 

In Castle Game Engine, we added some extensions to TXMLConfig, in
particular TCastleConfig.PathElement to address exactly this. It
extracts a DOM element (TDOMElement) from TXMLConfig, and then you can
use full power of the DOM unit to operate on this element (iterate on
children etc.):
https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/blob/master/src/files/castlexmlconfig.pas#L258
. This way you can still use TXMLConfig API (GetValue / SetValue) for
some tasks, but you can switch to using more powerful DOM API for
other tasks.

I thought maybe this is helpful :)

Michalis

No. Every package has its own ppu directory.

Build Lazarus with -vt. See, if the compiler can't find lazreport.ppu or does 
not like what it found.

You lost me. How did you 'installed the lazreport and see it' with a
Fatal error?

The lazarus.lpi does not contain the installed packages, so it cannot
build the IDE.
Use Tools / Build Lazarus to build Lazarus.

Re: [Lazarus] Running Lazarus in Lazarus

[Lubos Pintes via Lazarus]

Hi,
I think the file is malformed somehow. Yes, indeed it runs the default 
Lazarus, but it is unable to build it. Obviously, it would be impossible 
to rewrite the running program. So someone could possibly fix the 
lazarus.lpi.
So I renamed the Lazarus.exe, then opened the renamed IDE, pressed F9 
and the "Program not found" error appeared.

I then tried to build with Ctrl+F9, and the following was written:
The project's compiler options has no compile command.
See Project / Compiler Options ... / Compilation
So how can I fix this? Or can someone fix the lazarus.lpi?
Thanks!

Yes, sorry.


Because my code I added there is not compiled. I added my files to
/interfaces/lcl.lpk.


Why did you add files to the LCL? That's quiet unusual.



When I build the IDE from tools menu, my
code is compiled. But when I open the above-mentioned project, it runs
but behaves differently.


Check Tools/ Options / Lazarus directory.
The lazarus.lpi runs the default lazarus.exe.
