Will Lazarus support 'dynamic package' in the future ?

[zariq]

Thank you . I will try Linux. I have never used Linux before

There are reasons to switch to linux, but saving 15 minutes is not one of them.

I know the reason is my computer
Conditionally, dynamic package isn't the most important problem
I will try to write some component and share for alls  (they won't be excellent !)

Dear Tranminhchien
We hope that you success on overcoming your 15 minutes problem and success on writing new components, but don't forget to tell us what is the solution did you use at last. We are curious about the solution.

tanminchchien, if you can afford it, do buy more memory for your computer. Windows8 with 1 GB is definitely slow. Windows8 itself is actually pretty fast but you get to enjoy the speed only if there's enough memory.

Upgrade to 4 GB if you can. Doubling to 2 GB will probably already give you a nice speedup.

RAM will increase speed if the problem is due to a lot of page swapping. If not, then the processor needs upgrade as well.

Everybody, i have installed Ubuntu 12.04, i think it's the best choice , then I cusom install Lazarus (the lastest ver), all thing are ok, lazarus rebuild faster, the linking step is fast, but i can't compile a project, the executable file is compiled for Win 32, i don't know how to config Lazarus to build project for Ubuntu, please help me !

You can remove Win32 option in Project Options/Compile Options/Code generation, make it default. See attachment

I have made it default, but not solved. The problem has appeared since the first time i opened lazarus

[motaz]

Could you please post the error message here

[tranminhchien]

The message is :

Code: [Select]

The launching application ""/media/LUU2/Project/Lazarus/test/project1""
does not exist or is not executable.

See Run -> Run parameters -> LocalI try to execute project by hand and ubuntu result that the program is not avaiable to execute

[motaz]

try another new project and save it in your home directory

[tranminhchien]

try another new project and save it in your home directory

Thank you so much . Successfully !

I did a try on a pc with a 3Ghz (single core) and 1 GB RAM with WinXP and an antivirus.
First attempt:  4 minutes  (time from building start to restarting Lazarus; Opera browser on).  Average CPU load 20%.
Second attempt: 2 minutes (opera browser closed, but still showing in the task manager, eating 400+ MB ram). Average CPU load 20%.
Third attempt: 1 minute (after opera disappearing from task manager). CPU load not registered.
Fourth attempt: 30-40 second. I have no idea why it got faster. CPU loaded about 100%.
Definitely much less than 15 minutes. I have no idea if the compiler would use a second core, so maybe 1 core*3GHz is more than 2 cores*2,6 GHz. Unloaded CPU with the browser on makes me think, that the low memory is the problem.
I think you could try a WinXP.
For Win8 you should wait. General rule is that after a new version is released, you takes some 2 years at least, until it gets usable or it becomes clear if the time will come for it (the time for Win2000 and Vista never came, for example).

For me it also compiles pretty fast on a P4 (single core + HT). You should definitely not try running any Windows newer than XP with so little RAM (and it gets pretty tight with XP too nowadays).
