Re: [lazarus] OT - Request for PR noise !
I'd just like to correct myself - if it matters at all -, that my sentence - which I don't remember the context and I'm too lazy to search the deleted messages ;-) - is fundamentally wrong. First, I confused 'agnostic' for 'atheist'. I am an atheist, but I absolutely (try to) respect all religious beliefs and rites - of course unless they're forced into others or restrict the freedom of speech -, so I meant that I just never learnt a reason to be religious (IOW not be agnostic). And second, the term 'intelligent' is subjective - and maybe preconceptuous? -, so what I meant is 'educated', i.e. have wide access to every and all kind of information. So my sincere apologies if I sounded disrespectful to anybody. I don't care being disrespectful to any 'institutions', but of course I don't want to be disrespectful to any individual who is an ethical person. Enough on religious wars (next are politicians =P ), let's get back to programming.

Re: [lazarus] THTMLBrowserHelpViewer.FindDefaultBrowser under Win32
BTW, it also seems that a call to
SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable('any sysvar name here') is
always returning an empty string. Can that be or am I making
a fool of myself here?
Oooops, this seems to work now (I have made a SVN update in
the meantime). Strange. Anyhow, the main issue remains -
under Win the THTMLBrowserHelpViewer.FindDefaultBrowser does
not seem to be able to find browser and hence show a HTML
document.

If HTMLBrowserHelpViewer.BrowserPath is not defined and

LazHelpHTML.THTMLBrowserHelpViewer.FindDefaultBrowser
searches the PATH environment variable, in order to find the
browser path. As far as I am aware, this is meaningless for
the Win platform.
On the other platforms there are better ways to find the default browser as
well.
Maybe we should create a unit for that. It could be useful to other programs
as well.
In my Delphi (Win) projects, when I want to show some
document (be it html, doc, txt, ...) I usually just start
the external process specifying the document name (does not
have the exact code for that API call at hand at the moment)
and Win itself then starts the appropriate application
(according to the document extension, opening the specified
document).
I feel that (for win) this would probably be the best and
most stable way, but am not sure if, where and how such a
patch is to be made in a multiplatform Lazarus code.

Windows has environment variables as well. But I didn't test that, so maybe
it is broken at the moment?

I guess some specific win32 code has been lost, when the help was moved
from the ide to the lcl. In the IDE GetDefaultBrowser from
lazarus\ide\include\win32\lazconf.inc.
procedure GetDefaultBrowser(var Browser, Params: string);
begin
Browser:= SearchFileInPath('rundll32.exe','',
SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH'),';',
[sffDontSearchInBasePath]);
Params:='url.dll,FileProtocolHandler %s';
end;
This is called by the IDE via OnFindDefaultBrowser. This is not part of the
viewer component itself.
I added that.

Thank you. It was really a fast change! Yup, I can confirm
that it is working now under WinXP.

Oooops, this seems to work now (I have made a SVN update in
the meantime). Strange.
This seems to be introduced through a debugger itself.
While debugging, the environment variables are sometimes
accessed ok and sometimes no. Out of the IDE and apparently
in the IDE, but w/o debugging, it works every time. Maybe it
has to do with the debugger I have installed - I used the
link http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gdb-6.0-20031011.exe
since I could not find any link to a newer Win32-ready gdb
exe. Any suggestions, perhaps?

[lazarus] Problem with gdb/IDE and GetEnvironmentVariable (Bug 1685)
http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=1685 Vincent, thank you for bringing that existing bug-report to my attention. I have now added the following note there: The problem appears only while running in IDE and only when gdb is defined as a debugger and only from the second application run onwards. If one: - closes and restarts the IDE, or - sets debugger at (none), reruns the application, sets the debugger at GNU debugger (gdb), the first run that follows will produce normal results. The second run will have empty values of environment variables returned, as previously described. No breakpoints defined/set/reset, in order to repeat this behavior.

[lazarus] Anyone using SUSE
Hi, I have now installed OpenSUSE 10.1 three times. I have discovered that even after installing all available development libraries the links required by Lazarus are not setup. In fact I think OpenSUSE 10.1 is attempting to drop GTK1. I'm new to Linux (at least at this level) so I am asking others to confirm my findings.

[lazarus] Win32 Lazarus programmer wanted
Hi guys, I will keep this short so it doesn't become spam but I was hoping somebody here feels like helping a seriously cool lazarus project out a little. I have done about 80% of a port of tappytux to win32 - but I honestly do not KNOW how to do the last 20%. And with everything on my plate I simply do not have time to learn. The initial port will take an experienced win32 programmer maybe 2/3 hours, then about an hour on each release (one every 3 months or so) just to update it - so I was wondering if somebody is willing to become the maintainer for a win32 port. The whole game is GPL'd with creative commons licensed artwork and as far as I know is the only fully playable game ever done in lazarus - and it's gotten REALLY amazing, after all I have been working on this for over 2.5 years.

[lazarus] Compile fails on project with long pathname (MacOS X)
I recently upgraded to 0.9.14 and started a project, whose code is in a deeply nested directory tree with fairly long directory names, where one of the directory names contains a space. When compiling from the ide, this fails at the assembler. It seems to report a cut off path (the part with the space is included), though this could only be in the message printed (and not in the argument that it received).

Re: [lazarus] Compile fails on project with long pathname (MacOS X)
I had a (possibly) similar problem. I think it is the output directory - in other words, where the compiled files are sent. Out of interest, try creating an output directory on the drive level with a short directory path like cu for compiled units. I'm not sure it is anything to do with spaces in the directory path. I might be wrong, but I work within a deeply nested directory tree. I send my output to a Compiled Units directory normally, and the error reported a path ending in Com so I shortened my output directory to CU and it works.
