There has been a similar bug report (but not the same), which I tried 
hard to reproduce, but could not. The bug report was closed.

If you are willing to help me to reproduce this error, you can submit a 
new bug report.

Re: [lazarus] Compile fails on project with long pathname (MacOS X)

[Duncan]

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.

[lazarus] Anyone using SUSE

[johnf]

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.  BTW Fedora5 still supports gtk1 with a standard 
install.

[lazarus] Problem with gdb/IDE and GetEnvironmentVariable (Bug 1685)

[Borut Maricic]

> 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.

This is called by the IDE via OnFindDefaultBrowser. This is not part of the

I added that.



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

Regarding my own comments:

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?

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.

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

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.
