Re: [Lazarus] [OT] New "free" IDE from Trolltech

Graeme, Guess you didn't get the news about RemObjects and Codegear joining forces: http://bitwisemag.com/ Also, TrollTech (now owned by Nokia) has had Qt Designer for years for C++ developers working with Qt. Not sure what changes with Qt Creator (maybe just a new name?). Thanks. -Phil

Re: [Lazarus] Mac OS X (Carbon), executable placement issue

John, Using a symlink to the executable is simply for your convenience in developing. When it's time to distribute the app, of course you would want to place the executable inside the .app folder, as follows: rm "myapp.app/contents/macos/irris" cp -p myapp "myapp.app/contents/macos" Th

Re: [Lazarus] When adding a packages it adds to uses clause

Graeme, The IDE has always done that with packages. I believe I reported this a couple years ago but didn't look into what it would take to suppress this behavior. Here's what I put in the Orpheus port notes about that: "When you first add an Orpheus control to a form, Lazarus will add the Orphe

It looks like somebody added an OpenGL dependency to the Carbon widgetset for some reason. Try adding -k'-framework' -k'opengl' when compiling and see if this doesn't fix it. Thanks. -Phil -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Damien Gerard Se

Re: [Lazarus] FYI: Shared Libraries support

That's an ancient article. The perceived problem with DLL's had more to do with Visual Basic's runtime and VB .ocx controls that had to be registered than it did with DLL's themselves. If you develop and distribute DLL's with your app, there really is no problem. You can even load them yourself wit

Hi Graeme, For ideas you might take a look at how OS X does it. The further along you get in your thinking, the more it sounds like you risk the possibility of reinventing the wheel: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternation al/BPInternational.html Thanks. -Phil

Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus Equivalent of GetCharABCWidths API call

Hi Dominique, The portable equivalent is in LclIntf, but it's not implemented in all widgetsets. Last fall I was playing around with this function for Carbon. Not sure where I left it but here's what I came up with. Maybe you could implement it for non-win32 widgetsets. Thanks. function TCarb
