[Lazarus] Howto find the projects that needs package xy?

[John Landmesser via Lazarus]

Hi,

because i just couldn't compile lazarus trunk any more i asked myself: 
which of my projects needs TZMSQL Package for example?


Is there a tool in Lazarus?

[Lazarus] Does anybody know a TStrinGrid-Component capable of sorting Date. Time, Float ...

[John Landmesser via Lazarus]

Hi,

i searched some time for such a component ... in vain!

So i developed myself a TStringGrid,  that sorts columns with TDate, 
TTime, TFloat ...


I can't believe that this doesn't allready exists for Lazarus?!

For example i found http://www.tkweb.eu/en/delphicomp/kgrid.html
BUT!! "Written as TCustomControl descendant, this is not a TCustomGrid 
enhancement"

So, no LoadFromCSV etc ... very bad!

Some sort of TSortGrid from Delphi-Zip would be nice.

Tipps are welcome!

Hi,

I remember that years ago in Delphi I often used Paradox (less
often dBase) to create a small stand-alone database with my Delphi
desktop programs. It had tge advantage of
1. using Delphi database controls,
2. no need for a database server or DBMS to be installed on the
client's machine (= less resources),
3. having the ability to deploy the database (basically the DB
file(s) (I think it was one file per table), a .dll and a setup
file telling the program where the db is stored (and links between
tables?)) all together in a single install file (Installshield
most of the time, sometimes a custom self-extracting file).

I am sure that Lazarus must still be used for these kind of
quick-and-easy small stand-alone desktop applications. But what is
your favourite small/embedded database for this kind of once-off
personal programs these days, and why? Preferably something that
can be used on both Linux and Windows without the need for ODBC or
similar.

Cheers
Chavoux

[Lazarus] Linux: howto define file *.lpi to be opened with lazarus?

[John Landmesser via Lazarus]

I'm on Linux-Mint Cinnamon and i want to associate *.lpi with lazarus 
Application:


*.lpi is of Filetype XML, but we need the fileExtension *.lpi here!!

found:

lazarus.desktop

copied:

 cp '/home/john1/lazarus/install/lazarus.desktop' /usr/share/applications/

and

lazarus-mime.xml

copied:

 cp '/home/john1/lazarus/install/lazarus-mime.xml' 
'/usr/share/mime/application/'


Content of these two files seems to define for what i'm looking for, but 
reboot wasn't enough.


What i'm missing to get the filetypes/extension-Database updated?

no, this way i would assign *.lpi AND similiar (= filetype XML ) files

Ok, there you go...
Do the components work when added from the palette?
Your stack trace is usable but better still would be a proper GDB backtrace.
Run Lazarus under GDB and then type "bt" after the AV.

The same window can be opened also from menu View -> Components.

I'm am starting a new thread because I've completed my task.

Here is a terminal component for Lazarus that is easy to reuse.

https://cache.getlazarus.org/archives/terminal.7z

To install, make sure you're on Linux with a Gtk2 copy of Lazarus. 
Open package terminaldsgn.lpk, install, and rebuild the IDE. You'll 
have a TTerminal component on your pallet. Drop it on a form, press 
run, and you have your own terminal program.


Here is a longish video walk through of how it works:

https://cache.getlazarus.org/videos/vte-finished.mp4

The source code is completely free, copy left, if anyone wants to 
reuse it.


Notes, you need to be using Linux and have libvte for gtk2 installed 
to use the component. You can be running other platforms, but you'll 
just see the design time surface it you're not on Linux.

Re: [Lazarus] TStringGrid sort symbol in TitleButton

Hi Zeljko,

think of a *.csv file and StringGrid.LoadFromCSV...

No columns defined in StringGrid, they will be created "on the fly" and 
user wants to sort a column by click on columnTitle.


There are default arrows that only show up if you define at least one 
column and thats not ok i think!

I don't get what is exact problem. If there's no columns why Sort

You can also distribute it with Fppkg. The project is already on 
github, adding it to the Lazarus-CCR does not add much value.


If you create an fpmake.pp file for it and send me the archive for it. 
(fppkg archive) then I'll add it to the testing-repository. (btw: you 
also may do this yourself, but for that you need an account and some 
help.)

Joost.


Hi Joost,

just discovered "online package manager"

it gets the packages from http://packages.lazarus-ide.org

This online package manager is a great tool and this location seems to 
be the right place?


Howto upload to this URL?

p.s. never created a fpmake.pp :-(

It was Felipe who gave me commit rights for ccr, just contact him 
directly referring to this thread. You'll find his mail address by 
seeking his posts in this mailing list.


But to be honest, having exerienced a series of severe downs of 
SourceFourge recently, I'd not recommend anybody to post new 
activities to CCR (=SourceForce) any more. You are already on github, 
why don't you stay there? You just should make sure that your package 
is added to OnlinePackageManager such that it is easily reachable by 
Lazarus - but in the forum there is already a discussion about this.


done, its from today allready on Online Package Manager, OPM... a really 
great package for Lazarus IDE!

If I want to build the 64 bit version, where should I then put the 64

The suggested path c:\freepascal\binutils\i386-win32\ seems incorrect.

Could I set it to c:\freepascal\binutils\x86_64-win64\ ?
Or does it not matter? I really would like to have both 32 and 64 bit

No. Use TVirtualStringTree instead of TListView, it's x10 faster.

Do you mean this https://github.com/blikblum/VirtualTreeView-Lazarus ?

I'm using an older implementation (v.4.8) of VirtualTrees, and yes, I've
checkouted it from blikblum page.
Online Package Manager (OPM) for lazarus installs TVirtualStringTree by
default , so you already have it in lazarus if you're using trunk or
2.0RCxx (2.0 fixes).

I've searched by TVirtualStringTree  on
http://packages.lazarus-ide.org/ and haven't found.
My ENV is Lazarus 1.9.0 r58537 FPC 3.1.1 i386-win32-win32/win64
I have several IDE versions but, for that project I cannot update my
ENV cause other developers are using the same version above.

But, about TVirtualStringTree, is it easy to do what I need, ie, using
virtual data (as records) with checkboxes showing automagically?

Marcos Douglas

Hi,

I'm using Lazarus 1.8.4 on Win10. In my application I have a Form with

ftp, (2) is to store the data from those files in the datacollection.
Sometimes I loose my internet connection and in that case I want to 
show a warning in the the middle of the form and in front of all the 
other components. For the warning I use a TLabel component for the 
layout parameter tlCenter. But the label is partly hidden behind 
another component (TFileListBox) and BringToFront doesn't help.
Now I tried a TStaticText component and that works just fine. Except 
that it has no Layout property and no Paint procedure I could override.
Is there a component that gives me all the behaviour I want? Is there 
a way to bring the TLabel realy in front of all other components? Is 
there a way to vertical align the text of a TStaticText caption?

Hello,

For those of you that don't follow the SVN logs closely:

The IDE now has proper support for Project groups.
Project groups already existed for some time, but were crippled.

With 2 additions they are now actually very useful:

- You can let Ctrl-F9 compile the current target in a project group,
and that
  includes for instance a package !
  (you can set this in Tools - Options - Project groups)

- "Find in files" now has the option 'Search in project group'

They now offer all functionality as in Delphi. In difference with the
latter,
their use is entirely optional...

My heartfelt thanks to Mattias for completing the 'Project group'
functionality !

All packages become part of the lazarus executable.

Thats different from Delphi for example where packages are dynamical loaded.



This one builds the IDE with all extra packages you installed yourself:

make clean lazbuild useride starter

i Hope, thats a useful and correct answer!

Say I have retrieved Lazarus sources from SVN and worked with it some
time.
I usually install certain extra packages suiting my development
projects etc.
Now I update from SVN and rebuild Lazarus, is there some way to make
sure that what non-standard packages I had installed earlier gets
installed again?

The reason I ask is that I have run into a problem with a Raspberry Pi
installation the other day. I wanted to install fpWeb, which is part
of available packages in Lazarus. I had already installed two packages
via On Line Package Manager and one from sources copied into the
components dir.
What happened is that the rebuild IDE failed and I could not get it to
succeed no matter what I tried, so I did this:
- Closed Lazarus
- Navigated into the Lazarus/2.0.6 dir and then
- make clean
- make bigide OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF FPC=/home/pi/bin/ppcarm

After this was done (no errors) I opened Lazarus and found that the
extra packages I had previously installed was missing from the palette
so I had to re-install them. This worked without the previous errors,
though.

Is there some method in this case to actually get Lazarus populated
with the previously configured set of packages without starting over
from scratch?

I assume the same would be needed if I update from SVN and then
rebuild Lazarus?

Re: [Lazarus] Update Lazarus from svn, what happens on rebuild?

[John Landmesser via lazarus]

Do I have to specify the --pcp directory in order for the command to
correctly find the already installed packages that need to be built
into the IDE?


I have only one Lazarus (svn) version installed, so i guess:




If so how is that information incorporated into the command?
The command itself will be executed from within the Lazarus source dir
(retrieved from SVN).



Yes, cd  to source-tree, open a terminal and execute

make clean lazbuild useride starter --pcp='/your/lazarus/config/path/'

Just try it out!

Re: [Lazarus] Projects in a directory hierarchy - what is allowed?

[John Landmesser via lazarus]

Two steps i would try:

A) File/Clean Directory

B) Run/Clean and rebuild

I have a german Lazarus IDE, so the commands perhaps called different!

.. never had these sort of issue, never uesed

Raspbian Buster

good luck

Am 02.02.20 um 23:50 schrieb Bo Berglund via lazarus:

I have encountered a strange problem that was discovered when I moved
sources between Windows 10 and Raspbian Buster.
It appears that my directory structure does not behave like when I
used Delphi...

I am using Lazarus 2.0.6 and FPC 3.0.2 in both Windows 10 and Raspbian
Buster (on an RPi4B with 4GB RAM).

I am working on a webapp (command line program supplying webpages on
demand from Apache) as part of a larger system of programs to control
hardware through the RPi4.

I have used a directory structure where the main control app resides
in a top directory with subdirectories for various utilities (like the
webapp for configuration purposes).

It was started on Raspbian, but I had problems with the Lazarus IDE
(it crashes regularly several times a day and then I lose all edits
since the last save). So I moved over to Windows and got the sources
via Subversion. On Windows Lazarus never crashes.

Then I could develop here and use the IDE to check that it builds. I
could not use the exe file with Apache because I don't have apache on
Windows, but I could work around it and check the output of the webapp
anyway using environment variables when I run the executable.

So far so good, but to do the tests properly through Apache I moved
back to RPi4 (via SVN) and it worked just fine there too. I could make
adjustments etc and test via apache that the webapp worked.

Then I did a new cycle back to Windows and now something has happened
that is a showstopper.

If I now open the project in Lazarus and command Compile, build or
Quick compile an error is triggered telling me that a file not used by
my project cannot find its Linux-only units in the uses clause
Here the show stops!

It complains that it cannot find some unix-only units inside the
sourcefile PiGpio.pas, which is used by another project residing one
level up in the tree from the working dir of the current project.

I have had to add a path to the parent dir (../) in the project
options because I need a few common units which define some used
classes and these units reside one level up.
But these are only 3 units and definitely NOT the units that use
PiGpio.pas!!!
The unit where PiGpio is in the uses clause is a completely separate
source file for another project.

Questions:
1) Is it not allowed to use source files *above* the current project
dir?

2) If I add a path .. via project properties does this really mean
that Lazarus will try to compile ALL source files found there even if
only a couple are part of the current project?

3) What can I do to remedy this problem?

My solution:

For Manjaro (ArchLinux) i installed fpc-svn and fpc-src-svn from AUR
with yay and now i have a running:

Lazarus 2.1.0 r62669 FPC 3.3.1 x86_64-linux-gtk2

Hope that big jump from 3.0.4 to 3.3.1 causes no troubles ... we'll see!


Thanks Juha for your information!

Use yay as user instead of pamac and most trouble with pamac are gone :-)

How do i find the code that needs libgtk-win32*.dll?

...perhaps somewhere inside the Lazarus IDE?

I developed a lot of little applications with lazarus but never had to
install extra libraries to get an application running!

Ok, downloaded "gtk2-runtime-2.24.10-2012-10-10-ash.exe" from
sourceforge , i think i have to deliver that with my Application?!!

Tipps are welcome!

Seems like you little application has been compiled with Gtk2
widgetset as a requirement.
If you replace it with Win32 widgetset, you should not longer need any

This one should be enough, on Linux you would do:

New folder, change to new folder and then:

svn co https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/binaries/docs/chm/

Then in Lazarus IDE set the path to checkout directory.

The URL should also be enough for tortoise or what you use on windows.

Lazarus starts up OK and I can build an application, which I have

However I have been annoyed by one thing that is really disturbing:

If I minimize Lazarus using the minimize button in the upper right

then all other windows are also minimized as expected.
But if I restore the main window by clicking on its placeholder in the
bottom bar, then ONLY that window appears, all others remain minimized
and I have to click on each and every of these to get them back.

What have I missed here? Is there a setting I have overlooked?

I have never seen this in Windows and also not on RaspberryPi with
Raspbian Wheezy-Jessie-Pixel-Buster. All have worked the same as on

Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus crashes when opening project under conversion, how to fix?

[John Landmesser via lazarus]

Am 21.05.20 um 23:39 schrieb Bo Berglund via lazarus:

I am using Lazarus 2.0.8 32bit in Win 10 x64 with FPC 3.0.4

I am trying to convert a project created in Delphi7 and maintained in
D7 and Delphi 2007 so it can be worked on in Lazarus/FPC.

It is a service application so it uses TService, which does not exist
in FPC. The closest candidate is TDaemon, so on advice here or in the
forum I have tried adding a "rename":

type
   {$IFDEF FPC}
 TService = class(TDaemon)
 private
 public
 end;
   {$ENDIF}

When I did that Lazarus showed a lot of errors when trying to do a
test compile (as expected). I did not have time to fix it though at
the time so I closed Lazarus.

Now I have a problem to even start Lazarus, it immediately shows crash
dialogs saying:
An error occurred at last startup while loading
D:\Engineering\Projects\Sobversio...\RemoteServer.lpi

It is not very useful to see a path that is cut in the middle so I
cannot find where it is at...

How can I find *which* of the projects it is actually trying to load?
I have several test projects created during various attempts at
conversion...

Or can I please open Lazarus *without a project* so I can decide
myself which project to load?

It was half a week ago when I was last using Lazarus as described
above and I cannot remember exactly which version of the converted
code I was dealing with.

So now I am back again and I cannot even start Lazarus because it just
errors out on the old project while giving me no chance to get to the
editor to fix the problem.

It looks by the few dialogs I see before it crashes that the code
contains objects with incorrect or missing properties of some kind and
if I proceed anyway I get to an access violation and Lazarus crashes!

Seems like there is a Catch 22 built into the Lazarus project handling
that disallows one from using the editor to fix project problems

What can I do in order:
A) To find which actual project file it is having problems with?

B) To load the project into the editor so I can fix whatever problem
it is having?




Perhaps resize the error Dialog or hit ctrl+c to copy the message to
clipboard?

https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases


I downloaded the latest as then was for linux on x86_64. I see there
has been another release since I wrote my post. I'll give it a try. I
guess I could also try the qt5 version.


OK, my last word on this subject. I can only conclude that there is
some kind of goofy multi-way interaction going on between Lazarus and
other programs. I have tried multiple versions of Lazarus, using both
the gtk2 and qt5 versions of fpcupdeluxe. In all cases, I saw the i ->
tab & i and m -> newline. I do NOT see this on the Debian-based
version of Mint running in a virtual machine, and I also set up
another VM with the same Ubuntu-based version of Mint (19.3 64-bit) as
I have on the host. Neither VM showed the problem with Lazarus!

The final straw is that I just set up a new PC for my wife, again
Ubuntu Mint 19.3, and out of curiosity, I installed Lazarus. The keys
worked fine.

I have no idea what is going on. I reiterate that I have removed all
config files, using the combination of wkitty42's commandline magic
*and* my kfinds, and that I have done absolutely no key remapping nor
macro defining. Twice, and ONLY twice, I have had the problem go away
after a rebuild of FPC and Lazarus, but rebooting the PC brought the
problem back again.

I've given up. I have wasted enough time on trying to sort this
problem. At least as long as it all works, I will just use Lazarus in
a VM, and transfer the completed source files to my host machine for a
final compilation.


Brian.

Check if you have an "address book entry" for that mail address.
If you do, it will lead to that effect, because it will likely display
the entry name, rather than whats in the actual mail.

Technically all mails come from "lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org"
But the do include the difference sender's names alongside the email

Matching the address book, ignores the names, and uses only the email.

Yes, let's hope GTK3 bindings will be better. Now it is alpha but

For Brian I recommend using QT5 bindings. It has no problem with keys.

Lazarus trunk from fpcupdeluxe or from SVN directly should behave the
same. I don't know why the build failed.


Unless you have some reason to believe that the QT5 version of
fpcupdeluxe doesn't build lazarus with QT5 bindings, I have already
tried this idea and still seen the same problem.  Yes, I deleted back
EVERYTHING except for the actual fpcupdeluxe executable - all config
files and the entire target directory - from the GTK2 build. Then I
downloaded the QT5 version of the executable and ran that. Once again,
it built, but I still saw the key mapping etc. problem.

Since I've come this far, though, I guess I'm willing to try building
the lazarus code downloaded via subversion with the QT5 bindings. Is
there a web page, or some other documentation, that leads me though
doing that? I've never previously built the QT5 version except the
attempt to build it via fpcupdeluxe.

Brian.



That should be enough?!!

Re: [Lazarus] Cannot find inc file from a registered package...

If not then please add it.
Otherwise it sounds like a bug. Unit files are found from required
packages but apparently include files are not. Please report a bug
with steps to reproduce.


To answer your question:

So I re-enabled the include and added a path below packages to it as
follows:

interface
{$I Indy10\System\IdCompilerDefines.inc}
{$I ssremote.inc}


uses


class_SSRemoteServer.pas(84,2) Fatal: Cannot open include file
"Indy10\System\IdCompilerDefines.inc"

Same with \ as with / as delimiter.

Butit worked when I did this, , but triggered other errors from inside
the inc file:

{$I
C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.0.8\config\onlinepackagemanager\packages\Indy10\System\IdCompilerDefines.inc}

Now working but the source file is cluttered with an installation path
that should not be there.

So I then went into project options/compiler options/paths
and I added this to the include path setting:

C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.0.8\config\onlinepackagemanager\packages\

Then I changed the source file include statement to:
{$I Indy10\System\IdCompilerDefines.inc}

This too worked, the file was found and parsed.

So this is the best solution, one has to remember to change it when
the project moves to a different lazarus version or platform.

It would have been good to be able to set something like $PACKAGEDIR
to C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.0.8\config\onlinepackagemanager\packages\ in
a Lazarus global context so all package files could be reached using
the env var. It then has to be set Lazarus globally like is possible
in Delphi.
But I found no such way...

HTH




Hi Bo,

Never used Indy 10 but just installed it with Online Package Manager on

I am porting a Delphi application to Linux and as a stop I am first

Now when I try to compile it throws an error inside a unit I did not
even know it used. And to further complicate the issue I cannot find a
reference to the unit in question when doing a search in the project
dir inside all pas files. This unit is not mentioned anywhere and
still causes a compile error due to a missing reference.

I tried Lazarus Find In Files and set it to search "all files in
project" and also search the project directory, but it comes up
empty-handed...

So now I wonder:
Is there a Lazarus tool to trace why the unit is referenced in the
first place? Is there such things as "chain of uses"?

The application I am porting is a client communications app that talks
to a service over TCP/IP.
That service app uses the unit that pos up as erroneous now, but it
should not be used by the client comm app at all.
So I need to find out why it does.



Perhaps it can be find in Projects properties?

backup to get my original config files back, but I did not think as
far

I wish I could bring back Windows 7

Of course on Linux this is not an issue at all, but if the target
programs are supposed to run on Windows I have no choice here.



 What about Win 7 + Lazarus in a VirtualBox?

Same with FPC 3.0.4 / 64bit / windows


Sorry, the initial fix for FPC-trunk introduced another issue with FPC
3.2. Should work now.

Re: [Lazarus] Some IDE/LHelp issues

Am 02.02.21 um 11:22 schrieb Rolf Wetjen via lazarus:

Maybe someone can help with a few issues around LHelp in the IDE:

1) When LHelp opens (regardless if opens with Tools->CHM-Help or F1
context help) it opens with 11 tabs.
Some of them have a caption, some of them are [unknown]. The [unknown]
ones come up with an error message "ms-its:xyz.chm::/index.html not
found!"

2) One of [unknown] tabs is completely empty:
"ms-its:toc.chm::/index.html not found!"

3) There are two lcl tabs. One show a message "Loaded:
ms-its:lcl.chm::/index.html in ... ms", the other one doesn't show a
load message.

3) There's no possibility to search in all files simultanously. May be
this is the missing toc.chm::/index.html?

4) The first context search is a racing car. All following context
searches are a bicycle. Time for a coffee.

I'd like to check for this.

Is there any documentation about the structure of the chm files
reagarding the missing index.html?
What's the meaning of the database definition fields in
Tools-Settins-Help? There are entries for 8 databases. What about the
missing ones.
How does the IDE calls LHelp?

Any ideas?

Perhaps try a new ~/.lazarus profile?

[Lazarus] No TrayIcon.Hint on Linux KDE?

Hi,

See example project

C:\lazarus\examples\trayicon\wndtray.lpi

The Trayicon.hint works on XFCE and Windows, but it will not be visible
on KDE?!!


FormCreate;

  SystrayIcon.Hint := 'my tool tip';



Any workaround ?

Thanks

[Lazarus] How to restore anchor docking manager in the IDE?

[John Landmesser via lazarus]

Hi,

i just "ruined" layout of the anchor docking manager in the IDE.

Reinstall the package does not restore the default layout and pulling
for example object inspector does not help.

I would expect the IDE would show where to place the object inspector by
painting a frame where it would sit if i stop dragging?!

Tipps are welcome ...

Tipp: Don't mess around with layout of anchordockingsgn package!

We'll see if i remember that next year :-)

Can you explain, what you have done? I can only fix/work on things, I'm
aware about.


I don't remember exactly what i've done in the past.

I  used anchordockingdsgn package for a long time and today i thought:
what happens if i drag "project inspector" for example to another
position ... bad idea(!!)

Things got worse as i tried to restore the initial settings of this
package.

Reinstalled the package, read the wiki ... no success,  but then with
google i found the  mentioned Lazarus forum thread: close all windows
except source editor and then  rearrange all windows.

Would be usefull if there was something like restore default settings?!
