Projectgroups

[Groffy]

I would like to test the package, but can't compile (Linux & Win7) because of a missing file(?)

[JanRoza]

And now you want us to guess which file you're missing? 
A bit more info might help people to take a look at your problem.

ProjectGroupStrConst file missing in trunk

[Groffy]

Well, at least it would be interesting to know whether there is anybody who can compile the package from repository

I guess its the file projectgroupstrconst.pas

@Groffy
Take a look at this: https://github.com/alrieckert/lazarus/tree/master/components/projectgroups
Latest commit 6 h ago. Mattias is working on it so please be patient.

I took more then one look, but Sorry there is no projectgroupstrconst.pas

Who said anything about "projectgroupstrconst.pas"?   The project is under construction. When will be ready? I don't know, you have to ask Mattias.
If you still want to compile it:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. unit projectgroupstrconst;
2.  
3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
4.  
5. interface
6.  
7. uses
8.   Classes, SysUtils;
9.  
10. const
11.   lisProjectGroupModified = '';
12.   lisProjectGroupModifiedConfirm = '';
13.   lisSavePG = '';
14.   lisDiscard = '';
15.   lisAbort = '';
16.   lisLazarusProjectGroup = '';
17.   lisAllFiles = '';
18.   lisErronlyProjectGroupAllowed = '';
19.   lisErrTargetDoesNotExist = '';
20.   lisErrNoSuchFile = '';
21.   lisRemoveTarget = '';
22.   lisAbortLoadingProjectGroup = '';
23.   lisSkipAllTargets = '';
24.   lisProjectGroupSaveCaption = '';
25.   lisProjectGroupSaveHint = '';
26.   lisProjectGroupAddExistingCaption = '';
27.   lisProjectGroupAddExistingHint = '';
28.   lisProjectGroupDeleteCaption = '';
29.   lisProjectGroupDeleteHint = '';
30.   lisProjectGroupSaveAsCaption = '';
31.   lisProjectGroupSaveAsHint = '';
32.   lisProjectGroupAddNewCaption = '';
33.   lisProjectGroupAddNewHint = '';
34.   lisTargetEarlierCaption = '';
35.   lisTargetEarlierHint = '';

37.   lisTargetLaterHint = '';
38.   lisTargetCompileCaption = '';

43.   lisTargetPropertiesHint = '';
44.   lisTargetRunCaption = '';
45.   lisTargetRunHint = '';
46.   lisTargetInstallCaption = '';
47.   lisTargetInstallHint = '';
48.   lisTargetUninstallCaption = '';
49.   lisTargetUninstallHint = '';
50.   lisTargetActivateCaption = '';
51.   lisTargetActivateHint = '';
52.   lisTargetOpenCaption = '';
53.   lisTargetOpenHint = '';
54.   lisTargetCount = '';
55.   lisActiveTarget = '';
56.   lisNewProjectGroup = '';
57.   lisProjectGroup = '';
58.   lisNodeTargets = '';
59.   lisNodeRemovedTargets = '';
60.   lisNodeDependencies = '';
61.   lisNodeRemovedDependencies = '';
62.   lisNodeFiles = '';
63.   lisNodeRemovedFiles = '';
64.   lisTargetCompile = '';
65.   lisTargetCompileClean = '';
66.   lisTargetAdd = '';
67.   lisTargetRemove = '';
68.   lisTargetInstall = '';
69.   lisTargetUninstall = '';
70.   lisTargetEarlier = '';
71.   lisTargetLater = '';
72.   lisTargetActivate = '';
73.   lisTargetOpen = '';
74.   lisTargetRun = '';
75.   lisTargetProperties = '';
76.   lisOpenProjectGroup = '';
77.   lisSaveProjectGroup = '';
78.   lisSaveProjectGroupAs = '';
79.   lisOpenRecentProjectGroup = '';
80.  
81. implementation
82.  
83. end.

1. You have to define each constant like :
      lisProjectGroupModified  = 'The Project group has modified! Save changes?';
2. Remove from RegProjectGroup.pas

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$IFNDEF IwrotethiscodePG}
2.   {$ERROR This package is under construction}
3. {$ENDIF}
4.  

Now you can compile it. I doubt it will correctly though, since is under construction.

Thank you.
Yeah, it does not compile because: PkgName:=ExtractFileUnitname(Filename,true); 
(Error: Bezeichner nicht gefunden: ExtractFileUnitname)
We have to wait for a more advanced status

[Groffy]

With todays trunk version its compiling fine, looks already promising - good work!!

When tryining to compile a project group, or a single package out of the projectgroup manager, I get an error message :

Error: (lazarus) invalid Lazarus directory "": directory lcl not found

Had anybody the same problem?

Best regards

It does not have packages, it has projects.

No, it works here. Can you build the projects without using projectgroup manager?

[Groffy]

It does not have packages, it has projects.

So, its not intended to combine packages to a project group? I tried to build a project group out of several component packages.

Best regards

It is perfect to see progress with project groups, we are missing this feature very much in Lazarus!

EDIT: I vote for it to be one of the default packages when it is complete.

Oops right, now I see you can add packages and even other project groups to a project group.
I don't know exactly what is the idea. The name "project group" is misleading then.
I tested it and compilation works well here. Please test your compilation of individual projects and packages first without the projectgroup manager.

Yes, it will be a default package for sure once it is ready. It may even be integrated to IDE's codebase, depending on how invasive the changes are.

I have a not default Lazarus installation on my Linux Mint system. I installed FPC3.0RC2 separately in /usr/bin/fpc and Lazarus IDE in /home/ug/Lazarus/  and fpc source and packages in    /home/ug/Lazarus/fpc/source . So far everything is working, I can compile my projekts and my packages without any problems.
