Did you see the README in components/fpreport?
I just did a test on Win10 x64.
Fresh checkout of fpc and lazarus.
Building fpc and lazarus.
After installing the 3 packages, adding the freetype-6.dll to laz and demo directory and rebuilding the ide i could run the sample prog from the ide without any changes.
Just reporting my first experience with fpreport, I updated FPC + Lazarus trunk on a Windows 7 VM 64 bits using FPCupdeluxe,
Anyway wonderful work you have done there, I just wanted to have a taste of fpreport and it looks promising, keep up the good work, I'll be looking forward for future commits.Thanks, it was a joy developing fpReport. A very interesting task. So too was fpPDF and fpTTF. :) The latter two were actually way more challenging than fpReport.
seems to be outdated. For which release is the FPReport integration planned? For fpc3.0.4 its too late
I update my repositories using my Git mirrors of FPC and Lazarus - I've never used FPCupdeluxe and don't actually know what it offers or does. Either way, I update FPC Trunk (3.1.1) and recompiled it and installed it as I normally do with FPC trunk. I then updated Lazarus - though LCL is not strightly needed for testing fpReport and it is toolkit independent and 100% non-GUI enabled.
I managed to open the demos/fcldemo.lpi directory from the FPC source and it compiled without problems.

Perhaps I can help.
Strangely enough, I did encounter an update problem (perhaps the same problem as OP) while updating trunk with fpcupdeluxe just yesterday !
To solve, I had to remove the whole fpcsrc-directory. And run fpcupdeluxe again.
I am still looking into this. But I could not reproduce this error after solving it. It has something to do with the way svn is used (svn gave an error while updating trunk).
Good news is than nothing prevents you from using fpReport, fpPDF and fpTTF with FPC 2.6.4 and later. Simply copy the relevant [packages] code from FPC Trunk, and it to your existing setup's search path and away you go. And yes, all three packages work with FPC 2.6.4 too.
fcl-report
fcl-pdf
which one is containing the fpTTF?
Please help. I can not install FPReport!
Please see the <fpc_src>/packages/fcl-report/demos/compiling.txt file and follow those instructions. If you still have an error, please supply a backtrace, as the error screenshot you send doesn't give much information to go with. The WIKI explains how to produce a backtrace in case you don't know.
I want to know if it is possible to export reports to the RTF format. I have a use case at the moment where reports generated need to be modifiable in Microsoft Word.There is no RTF exporter for fpReport. Contributions are obviously very welcome. You might be able to use the HTML Exporter for now, as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer can edit HTML and then resave that in another format like DOC, ODT or RTF.

Thanks Pascal. Now I got it working. It was the "zlib1.dll" that was missing to be placed next to the FreeType DLL.
JZS, how did you fix the freetype-6.dll loading? i still have same problem.

What error message did you get? Was it same as the one I attached?
Is the dll in search path? If in doubt put it in the same folder as lazarus.exe
ya, but i still don't have this file? can you give me the url where can i download it ?
freetype (for windows) is part of gnuwin (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm).Don't forget to download the dependency archive as well (you need zlib dll from that) and store that next to your freetype dll.

There is a thread discussing the same topic, but relevant messages got a bit lost there:freetype (for windows) is part of gnuwin (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm).Don't forget to download the dependency archive as well (you need zlib dll from that) and store that next to your freetype dll.
thx so much for your reply... it work right now... :)
More information is available in that thread, you could probably do with starting with my quoted message and read downwards.
