fpgui problems
lazer:
Hi,
Having managed to cross compile for win64 using gkt2 widget set , the resulting exe failed to get off the ground.
I installed gtk2 on the target system but when I ran my exe I just got a banal error box that "it failed to start correctly". Which has to be the most useless indication of what is wrong. I guess that is the kind of reason why I use linux instead of windoze.
So I decided to use fpgui which should produce a totally self-contained exe which is more consistently cross-platform.
I grabbed the latest source from http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpGUI
This fails to build because it is missing lhelpcrontrols
This is allegedly in the lazarus source tree but I don't find a package file as described here:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/467141-Lazarus-can-t-install-help-files
That is rather old , so can anyone say how to get this running. I was not expecting to have to go on another paper chase. I thought the fpgui was built in to Lazarus. Why does it not build directly?
Thanks for any help.
Ñuño_Martínez:
If I read correctly, you're rebuilding your project using fpgui, but it was originally designed to use GTK+, isn't it?
As far as I know, LCL with fpgui isn't complete. I mean, not all LCL components are available or work with fpgui. Also fpgui has its own GUI designer, you should use it instead of Lazarus'.

If you look at the svn log than you see the last non general modifcation is april 2015. The one before that march 2013.
Doesn't seem that lcl-fpgui gets too much love.

No it doesn't - it is in need of a maintainer that can complete the missing parts (TLabel being the biggest cause of problems). I recommend using fpGUI directly without the need of LCL.
