Lazarus 1.6.4 - Released

[vfclists]

I built a 64bit version of Lazarus 1.6.4 - FPC 3.0.2 using fpcupdeluxe, and when I do Clean and Build IDE it takes forever. I usually have to abort the compilation and restart it.

And then from then on when I start to compile project it apparently goes back to rebuilding the packages it did not complete before I aborted the rebuild.

Any ideas why this could happening? I could

As it is to find in forum - "a lot" of people do not quickly solve this problem... - maybe you could quickly help...   

Sorry for the delay - I don't have Internet at home. As far as I remember, I've just installed all my dependencies and I was "clean" then. According to http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=32554.0
Namely the packages installed were: https://github.com/eugeneloza/decoherence/blob/master/readme_compile.txt
However, I'm not sure if this was the exact solution that solved the issue.

Well... I've tried it again and it won't work as it did a few days ago Maybe, I've missed something, sorry...

Thank you for your response ! - There is a simple solution.
xterm has told that with using the FPC tar-packed download from FreePascal-download-site (instead of fpc as x86-deb-package) - everything is allright.
- So I first installed fpc3.0.2 as deb-package and lazarus 1.6.4 as deb-package. - And then to solve the problem I over-installed FPC from tar-packed-download (./install.sh) at the end.

So that simply helps.
But should a bug-report be done ? - Because the right place to solve - would be the x86-deb-package...
EDIT - I see thats going on:

I've just upgraded to Lazarus 1.6.4 FPC 3.0.2 on my Ubuntu Mate 64-bit computer. I used the 3 deb files downloaded from SourceForge and performed a clean installation.

A small warning happened when installing FPC, it said it is conflict with FPC.  I didn't understand, so I simply ignored it.

I also installed LAMW. So far everything seems to work correctly.

Thank you Lazarus/FPC team.

That seems to have fixed it.

Thanks

I don't know if anyone knows this but FPC 3.02 has fixed a serious bug with createevent in the windows rtl.

So if your doing anything with threading that uses createevent for callback events or whatever this is a good reason to update.

Same bug affected older versions of Delphi and was only fixed last year in that product.

Basically the RTL was not assigning Nil to the name parameter if the createevent name was left blank, and instead it assigned a empty null terminated string which is not nil and caused all kinds of issues with certain multithreaded tcp/ip libs .

I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work on FPC and Lazarus.

Since version 1.6 (not sure which version, specifically), the file .po file generated for the internationalization (enabling i18n to project), no longer contains the labels of the columns (TGridColumnTitle.Caption) so it is not possible to internationalize the project.
How do I report this malfunction to the team?
Thanks on advance.

Strange - TGridColumnTitle.Caption is of type TCaption and should work just fine. Report to mantis.freepascal.org with a simple demo application. Thanks.

Many thanks for the link. I'm going to write immediately explaining the problem.
Thank you.

I respond by alone.
Thanks to the link of ondrejpokorny, I found that the problem has already been reported and fixed.

Unfortunately it has been set for version 1.7SVN so, or wait for the stable Lazarus 1.8 or download and install the 1.7 SVN.
Thanks ondrejpokorny.

Expect 1.8 soon
