When I try to compile fortes324forlaz, I get 3 errors

rlprinters.pas(125,56) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 2: Got "LongWord", expected "PHANDLE"

rlprinters.pas(128,44) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 5: Got "LongWord", expected "PDWord"

rlprinters.pas(133,58) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 5: Got "LongWord", expected "PDWord"

on the following lines in rlprinters.pas

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. if not OpenPrinter(PChar(PrinterDevice.Name),hPrinter,@foodefs) then
2.  

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. GetPrinter(hPrinter,2,nil,0,bytesNeeded)
2.  

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. GetPrinter(hPrinter,2,pInfo,bytesNeeded,bytesNeeded)
2.  

It compiled without problems in version 2.4.3 which afaik is almost the same as 2.4.4.

Are you using Lazarus 0.9.31 or 0.9.30?
I'm running 0.9.30.1 with FPC 2.4.4 and FortesReport compiled without a problem.
I do know that Fortesreport didn't compile under Lazarus 0.9.31, Im not sure FortesReport is 0.9.31 ready yet, I thought Luiz recently mentioned it was strictly for Lazarus 0.9.30 for now.
(Am I correct Luiz?)

No, if you are using stable Lazaruns 0.9.30, then you must use last release of fortes: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fortes4lazarus/files/fortesreport-3.24-LCL-R2.zip/download

But if you are using Lazarus from trunk, then you must use Fortes from trunk:
https://fortes4lazarus.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fortes4lazarus/trunk/

Jan, don't you remember?

[JD]

Sorry I forgot to say that I'm using 0.9.31. I'll update my version of Fortes from trunk & try again.

Many thanks guys!

[JD]

It's fine now, thanks a lot.

@Zoran: I hadn't forgotten but yesterday I couldn't find the old thread anywhere.
For now I'running Lazarus 0.9.30.1/FPC 244 which suites my needs perfectly.
Thanks for giving me back my memory
