[Lazarus] Problems creating Lazarus installer + readme/batch patch
Hi list, Trying to create a Lazarus installer on Windows: 1. gdb path problem the readme says: A.5 Lazarus binaries Some binaries from a lazarus/binaries svn tree. These binaries (like gdb and the qt interface dll) are distributed with Lazarus, but are not built from source. I did svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/binaries/i386-win32/ c:\development\lazbinaries\ and passed that directory to create_intaller as the 3rd argument create_installer.bat has :: Path to the lazarus third party binaries checked out of subversion SET LAZSVNBINDIR=%3 ...

Exactly my point, and why the automation isn't a good idea. Yes, please do so. How much duplication do you see for translators in the Lazarus IDE?

Can you be more specific? Yes, but as the original poster said, you can't pick from that list using the Object Inspector.

Just to give you a very simple example: So you think it is OK for each form to have there own versions of rsCancel and rsOK for buttons? So for an application with 200+ forms, that is already a lot of duplication. Besides, I fail to see how can original poster's proposal significantly save your time in comparison with manual resourcestring assignments A custom String property editor could maintain the list of resource strings - thus adding a new resource on the spot should be possible and fast. Everywhere else you can simply select an existing resource string constant to be used in the Caption Hint properties. There would be no need for the developer to implement a SetupTranslations() or SetupCaptions() method in each form. If you make it easy enough, developer would stop hard-coding English text in the Caption property of widgets, and opt to rather use resource strings - thus their programs will be immediately possible for translation. It's much harder to add translation afterwards, and prone to errors (missing a translation in some widgets). Anyway, this is how I envisioned it to work when I researched the idea for fpGUI's UI Designer. And I will still find a suitable solution. -- Regards, - Graeme - ___ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

But do not replace it everywere. Initialize BUILDDIR from the former.

Thanks, make sense.
Done; check included, see patch.
Tested by setting LAZTEMPBUILDDIR and it does put the output there.
The patch also contains a fix for the iss file (a Pascal begin..end
block without colon after the end ;) - otherwise I get this error:
Error on line 383 in
C:\Development\lazarus\tools\install\win\lazarus.iss: Column 2:
Semicolon (';') expected.
Compile aborted.
If you want me to open mantis issues instead, I'd be happy to...
However, I now get this:
Error on line 417 in
C:\Development\lazarus\tools\install\win\lazarus.iss: Column 40:
Type mismatch.
The lines in question:
var
FileName: string;
Content: string;
begin
FileName := ExpandConstant(CurrentFileName);
LoadStringFromFile(FileName, Content); //-- line 417; col 40 is the ;
Those lines appear to have been there since r6092 (svn blame)... perhaps
it's the fact I'm using Unicode Inno Setup or something I'm not seeing?
(No experience with PascalScript or those functions, nor do I know what
CurrentFileName is, so more or less blindly guessing)
I upgraded my Inno Setup to the latest, 5.5.1 unicode, no change.
Thanks,

[Lazarus] fpWeb, XHR2 and arraybuffer
Hi,
I am trying to use fpWeb in a simple cgi app to send data to a webpage. I am
using XMLHttpRequest2 on the JS side. My problem is that the response is null
if I set the responseType to arraybuffer. If I do not set a responseType at
all I get a response.
My JS skills are not the best but I think the code is correct (at least that is
how it is done in all the examples I studied).
But the cgi app seems to work correctly, too. If I point my browser to the cgi
app it downloads the data to a file and this data is correct.
Most likely I am doing something stupid or missing something obvious but
currently I don't know what to do or where to look to get this working.
The relevant code parts:

AResponse: TResponse; Var Handled: Boolean);

Re: [Lazarus] Merging of PDF files
Reinier Olislagers wrote: Perhaps you could try to call pdftk using TProcess? It's open source and multi platform (at least Windows and Linux). I thought pdftk was a thin wrapper around a library... pdftk uses a slightly modified iText Java library (http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/) to read and write PDF. The author compiled this Java library using GCJ (http://gcc.gnu.org) so it could be linked with a front end written in C++. The pdftk home page is http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/.; There'd probably be a problem calling the backend library, if it uses Java or C++ OO techniques, from FPC- I think somebody in the list commented on this a few days ago. I wonder whether it would be possible to modify the pdftk program to be a library with a single entry point, callable as a Pascal function? -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

So how does Lazarus find the SQLite library? You are right. This sounds like a bug in the component, however -- after installation of sqllite3laz package, Lazarus itself fails to start in there is no DLL in path. The DLL should be loaded only when the connection is made, similar to the other databases. Windows: anywhere in PATH *nix: /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib usually, but other places are possible (not really sure about all of them, it may differ one to another) I see. Based my incorrect conclusion that Lazarus itself uses SQLite I was hoping to guarantee its presence for the demo. I'll just write in the demo documentation that it is required :) -- Alexander S.

Re: [Lazarus] Change the default name of an event handler

I suppose that the default name of an event handler is built from the name of the class that introduced the event so may be there is no simple way to change that... The default component name is fetched from the TProjectFileDescriptor.DefaultResourceName. When I create a new TZModule it's small. Can I change the default size of newly created TZModule ? I found that this can be done overriding Create to set a value to DesignSize. constructor TZModule.Create(TheOwner: TComponent); var Size : TPoint; begin inherited Create(TheOwner); Size.X := 320; Size.Y := 200; DesignSize := Size; end; May this can be done in the default constructor of TDataModule ? Without that the window representing a newly created TDataModule in the IDE is so small that it needs manual resizing before any use. Yes. Feel free to propose a change to the FPC bug tracker. I increased the minimum size in the IDE for TDataModule to 150x150.
