Hi,

I wonder about the use of OnIdle procedure and the Done variable. I
thougth that this routine keeps running over and over again in idle
state as long as Done=False. But the value of Done doesn't make a
difference, the OnIdle procedure  keeps repeating itself even when
Done=True.
Can anyone explain this to me?


Good question, hopefully someone else will answer as I don't know.
There might be some sample code that tells you with SimpleIPC
somewhere out there as that help documentation in the IDE might
be using it.. in the lazarus code itself if you can find it.

BTW what are you using OnIdle for if you want to tell me?
I'm trying to find more uses for it.

Maybe search the related lazarus code for OnIdle to see if it's
using it.

Hi All,

I haven't been active on this list for a long time, but I have been
still been using FPC/Lazarus - many thanks to all who who have been
making all the improvements.

I recently dipped my toe into Raspberry Pi, and successfully built
FPC (3.0.4) / Laz (2.0.8) using the instructions here:

https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Build_current_FPC_and_Lazarus_for_Raspbian

I have just upgraded my installation using the previously built FPC
(3.0.4) to build FPC 3.2.0 / Laz 2.0.10 (rather than go through the
process of getting the bootstrap compiler again as per the 
instructions)
I presume this is legitimate - it certainly worked - and if so, would 
it

be worth my writing this up on the wiki ?


Yes, any titles like "For version such and such" on the wiki
with instructions would be useful, as I have been meaning
to install these on my Pi's recently and haven't found much
a few months back.

Thanks
