I was looking for a more rudimental solution for net-related programs.
So I found the FCL, especially FCL-net & FCL-web.
To learn about the components there are examples included.
But when trying testnet.pp (from fpc\trunk\packages\fcl-net\examples) it won't compile on win64.
netdb.pp(173,4) Fatal: Kann BaseUnix nicht finden verwendet von netdb. // en: Cannot find ... used by ...
at: <trunk>\packages\fcl-net\src\netdb.pp (line 173)
Implementation
uses
BaseUnix, // <-----------------------
sysutils;
const
Just plain BaseUnix, so netdb only compiles for Unix-systems. But wait, testnet also uses sockets.pp which unconditionally uses winsock2 (*)
So here are my Questions:
Is this the right place to ask about FCL ?
How did that ever go together ? (see *)
Is it a bug ?
How about a testsuite to test the examples ?
And how about some Visual-Components so that FCL-Gems can be more easyly used in Lazarus ? (I'd volunteer with some help)
