Indy and WinCe

[sin_dragan]

Hello, I m new to Lazarus. I ve used delphi and indy components in the past.

I would like to use indy components in wince project. Is this possible, can someone more experienced in this area give me advice about this? I ve encountered lnet components, are they more stable than indy port, what do you reccomend?

Thx

I was using Indy with Delphi, but when I switched to Lazarus I did it from many reasons, one of them is to make WinCE applications.
You can read on http://www.indyproject.org/Sockets/fpc/index.en.html

Some success has been reported with:

    Win32
    WinCE
    Linux
    FreeBSD
    Mac OS/X (Darwin)

I didn't tried Indy but I did LNet and it works very good on both Win32/64 and WinCE.

@bambamns
Thanks for your reply. I ve checked the demo examples and currently I m testing Wireless Orders from computerforce, works nice with LNet and Sqlite. Also the application is very stable.

Since you're developing for wince, can I ask you a favor? I ve downloaded Germesorders from http://wiki.freepascal.org/germesorders
and when I compile it...well it just exits the app, I tried to set break points but it just crashes as soon as it compiles.
thx

What version of FPC and Lazarus do you use now ?

What do you wont to achieve ?

My advice is to make first steps making WinCE applications with native/basdic Lazarus components with FPC 2.6.2 and Lazarus snapshot 1.1 build.

Hi, thx for your reply, I m using 1.0.8 and 2.6.2 FPC, I want to compile and test that project, please can you try, maybe I m doing something wrong?

I ve installed Rx components and folowed instructions on this page: http://wiki.freepascal.org/germesorders

Thank you for your help, I will download snapshot 1.1 build.

Okay, I ve successfully compiled project GermesOrdrer for Win32, the first time I tried on a Win7 64 bit machine. This time I used WinXp 32 and a 1.0.10 Lazarus version.
