Re: [Lazarus] What are the prerequisites for compiling Lazarus on a KDE based system?

No idea, sorry. I don't use fpcup and I don't know whether it suppresses compiler/assembler/linker messages or not. If you build manually by hand, you'll be able to see a list of "cannot find: -lXXX" which indicates the missing libraries. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-laza

OP cross-posted on the forum that he had "identical" systems that did have the correct prereqs where fpcup did work; as indicated on the forum post, recent fpcup will show some missing libraries when running It would help to RTFM/run fpcup -h and run fpcup --lclplatform=qt though. On 05/01/2014 15

Re: [Lazarus] Alpha transparency on GTK2 widgetset

Nice job. I had a different approach in mind, but that required a rewrite of gtk2devicecontext and a lot of cairo stuff. This effectively would be similar to gtk3 and take a lot of time. After some initial rewrites, life changed and my time became limited. At the same time I heard rumors about

Re: [Lazarus] Alpha transparency on GTK2 widgetset

Yeah, the "proper" approach would be to make a Cairo-based gtk2devicecontext implementation and it might still be a valid goal, depending on how long the gtk3 interface will be in development (after all it took years for the gtk2 interface to become the default in Linux). Also i think that with gtk

[Lazarus] how about a "HasProperty()" property?

For example, if you want to loop though components and set the dbNavigator's DataSource property to that of the component if it has a DataSource property (and of course is not a dbNavigator itself).  It seems you can't do that by using the component's hierarchy.  Is there someway else to do that
