new version 1.60 of our Freeware Project CodeTyphon.

I will forgo CodeTyphon for the time being .

I am sorry to hear such a bad result for that non-Ubuntu distro. Before deleting CT you should probably take a look at provided components and examine them in your regular Lazarus installation, since there are many Delphi ported components (and a lot of them tested on Win/Lin/WinCE) you will not find anywhere else...

Great observation. That's what I do. I take the extra CT components and install them in the regular Lazarus distribution.

CT crew seams to be listening. They started tests of Lazarus CT under Suse Linux and they are asking for help.

I look forward to them getting it working on Debian.  It would be

Can these components be downloaded separately from Code Typhon? What is their license?

AFAIK the components cannot be downloaded separately. So I download the entire CodeTyphon distribution & I pick and choose from the directory with components. The components I choose are those that I know are GPL and open source.

FYI, Delphi Cindy components are now MPL. This is not a wide known fact since it has changed recently. Lazarus CT distribution port works on Win32/64, Lin32/64 and WinCE.

nice work. is a mac version planned?

[Martin_fr]

I've seen on the release notes of the previous release:

  -Rollback to GDB ver 7.0.50 for Win32/64
       GDB Ver 7.3.50 exists to CodeTyphon\binGDB\xnewGDB for testing...

And there is no note that it was updated now?

I do not know about 7.3.50 (at least on w32), so that may indeed be unstable.
But there is a mingw release 7.3-2 which appears to be very stable, and was confirmed by several people to fix some gdb crashes.

so on w32 I highly recommend to use the 7.3-2 version

I think more people need to know about LazCT.

Installing their latest version cleared up problems I was getting with the debugger stopping and the context menu edit items periodically quitting.

As far as I know the advantages of CT are the installer (at least some people o Linux seem to prefer it over the build in install manager of their distribution), and the added packages, as well as some tools and stuff for cross compiling (I hope I did not leave anything out, as I am an SVN user, I don't actually have it.)

As for other issues, such as the debugger: CT is the same as the 0.9.31 snapshot (though I do not know if the version used by CT is in anyway tested above, what the snapshot is)

Most debugger fixes are present even in 0.9.20.1 snapshots (and will soon be available as 0.9.30.2 release). Features are 0.9.31 only.

You can find here why 7.3.50 was abandoned:
http://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/forum/10-installationsetup/1189-gdb-problem-in-ct-200
and here that there are also problems with 7.3.1 and 6.6:

Thanks Avra.

Unfortunately they lack any information on where exactly gdb failed.

if 7.3 indeed has regressions (and if they can not be worked around), then it's a draw, since 7.3 fixed some issues too ( http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19883 ).
In fact, only some days ago, someone reported the same issue with his TC install, and confirmed that the upgrade to 7.3-2 had solved it for him

And IIRC 7.2 had solved some issues over 7.0.50, but I don't recall the exact details.

Guys, we,
1) roll back from GDB 7.3.50 after problems with GDB 7.3.50 on Win XP
    current CT 2.20 use GDB from SVN LazBinaries without problems.

2) on Freebsd Lazarus/Freepascal Debugging with GDB 6.6.1(default) or
with latest for FreeBSD GDB 7.3.1(port build), Don't work

We, make more test for 2), soon firsts results...
I can post some pics  at CodeTyphon forum, after request...
