How to use fcl-net on windows?

[jcbritobr]

Hello, good morning.

I'm trying to use fcl-net on lazarus in windows os. I know that fcl-net package is present, because I found it on fpc units folder, but the package is not acessible while programming on ide. Ex. Sockets,fpAsync,fpSock are not found.

May someone please help on how to use on windows os?

hello,
it seems that the units are not compiled : existing in fpcsrc but ppu not existing  in fpc/units  (lazarus/fpc installed with fpcupdeluxe)

Friendly, J.P

Hello, they are compiled and in unit folder. For some reason, they are not acessible using lazarus.

[jcbritobr]

The units simply are not available under windows.

[Jurassic Pork]

fpSock isn't in units directory and uses ssockets works on my computer (Lazarus 2.0.12 fpc 3.2   win 32bits)

curious.  This works for me under Linux

uses fpAsync,fpSock, ssockets;

Please check to see if your fpc.cfg file can find that directory you mention, there should be a line like (and I am guessing here, Windows is not my thing) -

Code: [Select]

-FuC:\bin\fpc\3.2.0\units\x86_64Win\*
I do have them compiled and it looks like it happened when I installed FPC320 -

EDIT: mine is a silly question, if fpc.cfg does not have that line, nothing would compile ....

Perhaps you are misunderstanding the error you are getting, can you please quote the actual error message here ?

fpasync and fpsock are *nix only.

ways to find things like this out:

- from a release, look in the relevant precompiled units/ directories( units/i386-win32/fcl-net and units/i386-win32/fcl-async )

- from the source, look at the fpmake.pp in the package dirs, and see what it is specified for. E.g.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2. // ssockets looks like this:
3.     T:=P.Targets.AddUnit('ssockets.pp',AllUnixOSes+AllWindowsOSes+AllAmigaLikeOSes+[OS2,EMX]);
4.  
5. // fpsock looks like this, clearly shorter target list.
6.  
7.     T:=P.Targets.AddUnit('fpsock.pp',[linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd,dragonfly]);

I would not use fpAsync and fpSock. As mentioned they are *nix-only.

Better use ssockets, there you can use TInetServer and TInetSocket.

It doesn't find ssockets as we can see on image below. I'm doing this in a console program. Maybe we have to add a package?

Tryed to do with SSockets, but cant include it on my program.

All seems to be configured. I really dont understand why this package its not available.

Found that -FuC:\Bn\lazarus\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget/*
I'll try to include something specific for fcl-net folder.

Hello. Fixing that path in fpc.cfg solved the issue.
The problem was that the path was pointing to another directory. I think lazarus configure it when installing.

I dont know how to edit the post. I post the wrong path. The correct is that
