It just helps you install the whole tool chain, jdk,sdk,ndk and laz4android. And to create the batch-file (.bat) to compile,sign and package a valid .apk file. The problem you are talking about can be solved by either using the batch-files directly or you can use the tabsheet "manual".

Hi guys, I need to know if I can use Lazarus for mibile development on Android, Windows mobile and iOS (iPhone)? I currently use a program (written in Delphi, I think) that runs only on Android and Windows mobile (and Palm OS?) called CyberTracker, which uses MS access (.MDB) files to store both the data and the structure of the app which will run on the mobile device. It is easy to use for creating an "app" for data collection with GPS readings and pictures. Unfortunately it does'nt run on iPhones (and I have users who need Mac and iPhone versions). Would Lazarus be a good choice to write native apps for these mobile devices? I have done some mobile development in Visual Studio in the past, but only for Wndows devices. (And I have done some "real" embedded development in C and assembler, but have almost no knowledge of the best cross-platform mobile development options). Thanks for any advice or useful links!

Thanks for cleaning up these things. Just for fun I counted the number of menu-items we have at the moment. It's 154 menu-items! There is more to discuss about main-menu items.

B) The items "Build","Build All","Abort Build","Quick Compile" should be placed in the "Project" menu-item or the main menu-item "Run" should be renamed.

The GitHub "free plan" account allows only one personal repository and no other direct committers. However, it allows you to fork any number of existing repositories, change them and then send pull requests. The flow is explained nicely here: http://jagregory.com/writings/git-remotes-contributions-and-the-letter-n/ I am also learning this now and I would be happy to test with your pull request. It should be easy: First, at http://github.com: 1. Create a "free plan" account. 2. Find my Pascal repository. 3. Click the Fork-button. Now you have a forked Pascal repo. Then at your machine: $ git clone git://github.com/YourName/Pascal.git Edit code ... git commit ... repeat if needed. $ git push origin Then again at http://github.com: Select your forked Pascal repo and click "Pull Request" button. There should be my name selected automatically. It is actually cool. I was wondering how git users can pull from each other when most people have dynamic IP addresses.

Mai, 2010 13:52 Uhr Hi I have been converting EssModel Delphi program, partly as an exercise and partly because it could develop into a useful program or component. It is a reverse engineering class diagram tool. I am facing more problems than expected. This is not related to Delphi converter in Lazarus but to the manual editing after it. First, the code uses a trick. It typecast controls like TForm to a local TCrackControl just to reach the protected TControl.OnMouseDown and such. type TCrackControl = class(TControl); // <-- empty local class var found: TControl; cc: TCrackControl; and later: // 'found' can be TForm or anything. cc:=TCrackControl(found); // <-- error cc.OnMouseDown := ... It gives 'RunError(219)', and the whole Lazarus may become unstable. The typecast is actually OK because the controls inherit from TControl and OnMouseDown is defined there. According to Mattias this system is even used in Lazarus itself. In a small test project the same system worked for me, too. ??? The program used interfaces heavily, actually in a clever way. I thought they cause the above problem and changed the code quite much to get rid of interfaces. No difference, it still doesn't work. Next problem: I noticed there are TActions defined in a DataModule which is created in MainForm.OnActivate handler, and the actions are used in form's menu and button. I thought it causes problems and I copied everything from DataModule to MainForm. I set the actions carefully like they were before and now menu items work but open-button does not. The exact same action is triggered by menuitem but not by button! So, this refactoring didn't solve any problems but created a new one. And then: before the program closes it writes recent files to registry. It gives an error when writing a string, although I can find the "reg.xml" file it wrote. The same thing works in my small test project without errors. All the program's behavior is defined in project file, pascal source code and form files. Am I correct? So, WHAT CAN CAUSE SUCH PROBLEMS? I have used many many hours already trying to solve this. The program itself is not very important now, I could as well forget it. I just feel uncomfortable when there are errors which I can't explain. Besides I am supposed to improve Delphi converter but now I am not even able to convert a program myself... My tests happened on Linux, with GTK2 and QT. If someone likes to look at the code, please do this: $ git clone git://github.com/JuhaManninen/Pascal.git It is not big. At least it should be easy to verify the MainForm.OpenButton doesn't work while it should, even though the program hasn't done anything yet.

[Lazarus] Is Lazarus project in a downward spiral?
Hello, I don't think we are in a downward spiral. The number of people constributing to this project is increasing. The core-team get's more patches than it can handle at the moment. I think the lazarus project needs more people which are allowed to apply patches. As already said by other's, this year for example Juha got the that level and as I recently noticed, the "Converting area" has improved drastically! Thanks juha. I usually go through the open tickets on saturday and see a lot of tickets with assigned patches. Some of them are really simple (e.g. change of a string) but they are untouched for weeks/months. I also see an increasing number of open tickets which are periodically reported and already adressed in bugtracker. As a reporter I can only comment this, but not close or link with existing reports. About next release 0.9.30: Please address a feature-freeze. Move attached tickets which belong to new features to next release. 0012355: [IDE] Combine the Find dialog and Find in Files dialog to a single dialog 0012294: [IDE] "About Lazarus" menu item should be in the Application menu under Mac OS X 0012828: [IDE] there could be room for separate builds. 0013930: [Patch] New IDE Add-On Package: Opened File List Browser 0015096: [IDE] Search Box preconfiguration - acknowledged. 0015133: [IDE] CHM help integration in IDE fails Happy coding to all ;-) Sam __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [Lazarus] Release 1.0, part 2
Hi, here my comments about this: Lazarus uses a "BugTracker"-driven release/version cycle. So the people who have rights to priorize the bugs actually decide about this. I think this is OK. But to get closer to a version 1.0 the handling of the bug-reports should be changed a little. If I look at the remaining 44 Open Points of 0.9.30 then I suggest the following: A) bugs without a simple test-project to reproduce the problem should be moved to next version. B) bugs which are not reproducable should be moved to next version e.g. "modal form is sometimes buggy" C) feature requests should be moved to the next version. e.g. "Combine the Find dialog and Find in Files dialog to a single dialog" And if we one day really want to have a version 1.0, then we need to agree first on a feature freeze. Happy coding to all of you. Sam --- Tom Lisjac schrieb am So, 29.11.2009: Von: Tom Lisjac Betreff: [Lazarus] Release 1.0, part 2 An: lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org Datum: Sonntag, 29. November 2009, 5:14 >> So what exactly is the Lazarus team afraid of in getting to v1.0? > > Since we think it's not ready for 1.0. > > Period. The above comment seems to have stopped the previous Version 1.0 thread so I'm starting a new one with the hopes of hearing some additional comments and suggestions for achieving this goal. Of course the core compiler and ide development teams have done an awesome job over the many years that this project has been in process, but *many* others have also contributed their time and energy along the way and have an interest in seeing this project achieve a 1.0 release. Personally, I'd like to see Lazarus and FPC start to move forward and get the respect and larger following that they deserve... but with it's history and stalled 1.0, I don't blame any noob, experienced developer or business that makes an informed decision to avoid this toolchain. The problem I see is credibility... or "if we write a lot of code with Lazarus/FPC, will it be maintainable with the project in perpetual beta?". Delphi was stable from release 2 and code I developed with it in versions 2, 3, 4 and 5 continued to "just work" as I upgraded. Not the case here. I've been writing new code with Lazarus since 2002 and have learned that anything I write today is virtually guaranteed to be broken and uncompilable tomorrow because somebody thought it would be cool to change some aspect of the Object Pascal language or completely revise a library interface or function. It's become a lot of work to maintain the stuff I've already written and I'm reluctantly considering not using Lazarus for any new projects. Businesses laugh in our general direction over the code breakage issue where a project investment using Lazarus/FPC may end up a QA and maintenance nightmare. This view is shared by many of my colleagues who can't understand why I'm still using a beta ide on a "dinosaur language from the 80's". How's that for an insult? I agree with Graeme's posting that this has become a public relations issue... an obvious one. I'm also starting to see it as a squandered opportunity to displace the bloated languages on the Linux platform where fast, compact and self contained Lazarus apps should be a dominant presence right now... today. Yes, Lazarus is an open source project, people work on it for fun and there is no business entity that is promoting it. Lazarus has been active for around 10 years and FPC even longer then that. The Linux OS also started to emerge during this same timeframe with the same type of development model. To compare, Linux is now running corporate datacenters around the world... and Lazarus is still in beta with very few public applications deployed. I don't think a case can be made that the project isn't ready for 1.0... after 10 years of development and it's current, impressive state, of course it is. The next steps are to actively discuss the finer points of what "ready" is and to set a definite goal to achieve it. As I see it, this will involve a feature set freeze, establishing bug thresholds *and* making a reasonably sincere commitment to not break compatibility at the source level past the version 1.0 release that will hopefully be shared by the FPC team. A version 1.0 milestone is crucial and much more then a given feature set and minimized bug list. It also conveys the idea of stability and confidence to anyone who may be interested in investing their time to learn the language, use the tools and create something of lasting value. If we don't start building that confidence in the larger community pretty soon, this project will continue to be viewed as a "toy" and will eventually become a relic to a once great development paradigm.

[Lazarus] International Olympiad in Informatics 2009 and FreePascal
Hello, on the news on freepascal.org I see that International Olympiad in Informatics 2009 has been won by a person using freepascal. I searched the original homepage http://www.ioi2009.org/ but could not find out which person did use gcc and which person did use freepascal. Does someone know if this is visible somewhere ?

Re: [Lazarus] Some thoughts about the global 'Application' instance.
By the way, I was always wondering why there is not TUser object and no TComputer. For example: TUser.SettingsPath TUser.LoginID TUser.Surname TUser.Firstname and so on. And TComputer.CurrentUser TComputer.Name TComputer.SettingsPath Or does this exist already ? I only know TApplication and TScreen so far.

And would be avoided in an automatic (forceful) manner. The range from: - Replacing Application variable by a function, or even unit - depended initialization of Forms.Application (only if no other app...) Now for a start let's ignore the fact that Interfaces forces us to use the Forms unit. (This is a problem of it's own, which can be fixed with a moderate (or less) amount of work (imho). If a program uses both Forms and fcl-web (or any combination of 2 or more units having an application), how should those units know which application is used? More so, how does anyone but the author of the program now, that only one is used? Example: I may write a cgi-application (therefore it must have the web-fcl CgiApplication, right?), but I want to use this app to report the current screen resolution on the Server, so I do want to access the Screen object from the forms unit, which uses the application instance from the forms unit (and probably would not work weel, with an cgiApplication instance?) So there may be cases where more than one instance of different classes of Application is required. The best way to avoid it, is or the author of the program only to use units that do not instantiate an application, other than the one(s) needed. This brings me back to the original problem: 1) being forced to use Interfaces 2) Intefaces using Forms 2: can be solved: I wrote another mail on that. 1: can be looked at. You are forced to use interfaces, if you use anything that needs to access the widgetsets (btw, in which case you are likely (but only likely) to need the Forms.application). If your code does not access any widgetsets then you shouldn't be forced to use interfaces. If you use a unit containing such code, but don't need the the particular bit of code, you must use smartlinking, or the code is included. Otherwise, ther may be a case to find out why and what is using the widgetsets.
