Re: [lazarus] Trying PascalMagick

[lazarus] FBLib or Zeos?
Hi to all, I'm starting the development of an application that will use a Firebird DB. Using Delphi I've always used the Interbase components to connect to the IB DB.

Re: [lazarus] How to use CodeTools Defines (Editor)?

Is there anyone? No. See below. If not, I'll start with a concrete case: all codetools fail (with error 'Unit not found', pointing to LCL units) on files not explicitly included in the project, but instead accessed by means of Other Unit Files configuration in 'Compiler options...' dialog of 'Project' main menu. I guess, you mean something like this: /path/project/unit1.pas /path/dir/unit2.pas - project's unit path points to unit2 - unit2 is not part of the project or any package - unit2 uses the LCL = The IDE will not find the LCL units for unit2 I debugged the IDE and discovered that the LCL units aren't found because the 'FindDeclarationTool' restricts the search to the folder of the active document because it can't find a '#SrcPath' variable defined (it is, for files added to the project or from LCL or fpc). So, how can I fix this exact situation? And better yet, can anyone share some insight on the CodeTools Defines so I/we can make a better use of it? ;-) Fix: Add unit2 to a package and define, what it needs. Reason: Every package and project define their own set of values/search paths. For example the FPC sources are world of their own and do not use the LCL. Every directory can contain 'defines'. A 'define' is for example the definition of the SrcPath. The 'defines' are defined by the 'templates', seen in the codetools defines editor. When you browse through the tree, you can see, that most of the values are created from the compiler or the compiler options of the packages and project. And some, like the FPC and Lazarus sources are hand made. You can add your own definitions, like adding the defintions for a Delphi7 Source directory. There is a template for that in the menu. I had not yet the time to write documentation for this editor. It's needed only for projects with platform specific settings.

That's why my Caption returns the English value and not the translated one. The Translated caption is only displayed, but programmer deals only with the original string. - All LCL captions have already a special type: TTranslateString. Just go through all components with RTTI and translate these properties. Then you have not only the value, but the class as well to find the correct translation. We don't need to extend the LCL controls with code. Just use TTranslateString. I'll try, and if it provides the required functionality, I'll gladly throw away my hack.

[lazarus] ODBC connectors?
Hi, It appears that the ODBC connector does not have any code for: GetSchemaInfoSQL. The other connectors Postgres, MySQL, and Firebird have code to retrieve the schema information - like getting the primary key information.

[lazarus] Temperary FTP Speace
Quick question for everyone. As some might know, I am working on a program in Lazarus with a group of people fairly spread out. The project manager is in northern Brazil. He has developed the beginings of an interface and it is working fine on WinXP, but it is not working under Linux. Unfortunately, he does not know how to quickly set up a Linux box so he can debug. In response, I have created a vmware system image of a linux machine with lazarus and zeoslib/firebird and svn version of OpSim which builds OpSim quite nicely. It is runable with the free version of vmware player ( http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ ). Here is my problem, the zip'd image file is a little over a GB (I did not strip everything out of a Ubuntu installation for fear of not having a stable system). Samuel has given me access to a ftp site to put it on. However, so far I have not been able to upload it ... the file gets to 600 mb and the server stops responding... Does anyone have a location (ftp or web based ) that I can place this image for a couple of weeks? Anyone is free to use it.. it is a fully usuable pre set up linux installation.. it just needs the svn synced to the current version. I need to get this done fairly quickly as I have a flight to Singapore set for Monday and hotel links tend to have slow uploads...Matt Henley

You could split the file into pieces and rejoin it together later. I'd do it in 100MB splits, or 50MB splits.

Anyway it was fun to build the program.. the real problem was my google skills weren't good enough. Some times I don't know what a certain feature is called. Resume splitting? I don't know. I needed to learn a bit about splitting files in Pascal, so I wrote a util to gain some pascal knowledge. Unfortunately I didn't come from the TurboPascal days where it was very common to split a file onto several floppies. I don't have that experience. :-) p.s. just buy EditPlus and skip Synedit. It's faster than most Synedit based editors. Just pay the $30 for EditPlus already and quit the Synedit nonsense. But of course, synedit is fun to learn about and can always do more then editplus will ever be able to do, due to extensibility. Actually that's why I wrote the file splitting utility - it is inhouse software that I need to extend later on in a few months anyway.
