Re: [lazarus] Recent SVN lazarus won't compile. Can't find unitcontnrs.
I get 300 -500 emails a day between mailing list that I am subscribed to along with support request for the software I support. There was nothing sent to my by the list owner when I subscribe to this list that I was required to leave my Reply-To field blank. I have been involved with the internet and mailing list since the days of the old Military DDN and NEVER have I head of this requirement -"netiquette". I will unsubscribe with this address and re-subscribe with my yahoo account as I believe I can null out the reply address.

I have seen a number of other list set this way also and it is very confusing to reply to list messages. I, along with the rest of the world, are not going to change how we have our email clients setup to satisfy this. Many email providers, mine included, require the reply to address to match the from address as a form of spam protection, otherwise the emails are rejected at the SMTP server. You decision to not answer someone based upon how they have their email clients setup is rather childish. Could be. But it's obvious that you don't reply more then 40 times a day to a mail-list. People who do that, request you to change your settings. Believe me, if you want any help on the Lazarus-ml, and also from the more experienced people, you have to change your header, or they won't response. This is the open-source world, we spend our valueable time helping you, but if you refuse to make that easier for us, we spend our time on others who do. I've never heard of any provider who asks you to set the reply-to adres as a spam-protection. So I would suggest you to switch provider, or use a gmail/hotmail or any other web-based mailaccount.

The real problem IMHO is that most email clients do not properly support 'Reply to Group' (in essence, reply to To: address), or the user does not configure them correctly to do so. In these cases, it's simpler for the users to have the mailing list server add a Reply-To header, so that the regular 'Reply' button will reply to the group. It's netiquette to not change the Reply-To header by servers; as far as I understood things correctly. This implies that replies using regular email client software will not go to group, but the writer personally.

Unfortuanly, I am hamstrung to the wishes of my email provider who also hosts my web service. It is true that I could dump the email provider and go to another, but when they decide to implement their silly rules for spam elimination, then what do I do. Find another? It is just not practical. I have also discovered that my email provider now requires POP before SMTP. This is extremely frustrating since most email clients will dump the outbox first then download from POP. My way around this is to send the email to my Norton Antivirus email scanner on the loclahost as a SMTP service and it scans everything while POP is downloading message. A for my problem with Lazarus not compiling and not fining the contnrs unit, I believe I have this working now. Once I am sure that everything works correctly, I will post a message on what I did to get this working.

What I failed to notice was that FPC was not compiling correctly. Interesting enough though, I was getting a similar error when compiling FPC. It also was throwing a compile error on sysutils. I finally had to do a make clean, make all, make install on the FPC source, then a make clean, make all on Lazarus. Everything is now happier than a pig in slop and as a bonus, the debugger now appears to be working.

Re: [lazarus] Recent SVN lazarus won't compile. Can't find unitcontnrs.
Hi all, any news/hints on how to compile Lazarus (SVN) with the latest FPC (SVN). I know that the topic was discussed before, but AFAIK only for linux. I have downloaded the latest SVN versions and successfully compiled the compiler (using make clean/cycle/all/install). I also moved the unit directories so that Lazarus do see them. But compiling Lazarus (make all) result in the compiler message 'Can't find unit contnrs' Any hints?

Re: [lazarus] Recent SVN lazarus won't compile. Can't find unitcontnrs.
Check you search paths in the fpc.cfg file. I found the same problem when I switch compiler version and forgot to update the fpc.cfg file. In the end I found I can specify the compiler version as a variable in the search paths, so now I don't need to touch the fpc.cfg file anymore Graeme.

Re: [lazarus] Recent SVN lazarus won't compile. Can't find unitcontnrs.
Thanks for the hint. I already checked the fpc.cfg, but everything seems to be correct. The only thing that were missing were the sub directories of all the packages. The problem was, that I only rebuilt the compiler instead of FPC in total. Now it works like a charm for me (except the bug that I can't compile DLLs anymore) Thanks, Christian Graeme Geldenhuys schrieb: Check you search paths in the fpc.cfg file.
