Having issues with Lazarus 3.2 and AnchorDocking

[Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno]

Hey Y'All,

Before I forget, this is my setup:

• Ubuntu 23.10 64b
• X.Org, not Wayland

I was able to install Lazarus 3.2 quite fine with fpcupdeluxe. And if I don't add the AnchorDocking packages it does run fine.

Once I add the AnchorDocking package, when starting Lazarus it shows up on a very small windows that then goes BOOOMM when trying to resize it.
Also the small amount of layout we can see from that small window is all out of whack.

I suspect something's wrong with the generated config files, cuz I was able to make it not go BOOOMM with a config file from Lazarus 3.0.
But then I wiped all that because I was too lazy to correct all the paths pointing to 3.0.

Is this a know thing?
Can anyone help me solve this, please?

Cheers,
Gus

The same problem in Fedora Linux updated.

Try to use Qt5 or Qt6 lazarus under wayland.

I tried, but I can't compile, it probably needs qt-devel installed.
I'm from Debian, I don't know what the name is. But I'll try, as soon as I find the name of this package.

Well, after install qt5-devel and lot of qt packages, I can´t compile IDE with qt5:

You have an old libQt5Pas.so, rebuild it from lcl/interfaces/qt5/cbindings.

[hamacker]

I found this link of libqt5pas that I will try:
https://github.com/davidbannon/libqt5pas/releases/tag/v1.2.15

[hamacker]

Still not compiling. Now I quit, itś better wait a formal issue and corrections.

Since I enjoy Project Inspector and Project group is too dificult use Lazarus without docks, too many windows to handle in 1080p.
Just for fun, I will try lazarus-win32 via wne.
