Trying to use the 'EpikTimer' unit
mausyo:
Hello guys. I'm rather new to the forum and i consider myself not so experimented at programming but i hope this will change with time.
Recently i was trying to find an effective tool for time measuring in Free Pascal. And i was lucky to find one called EpikTimer developed by the Lazarus team. The problem is downloaded the files and when i try to compile it they don't work. The error i receive is
"Can find unit LResources used by Epiktimer"
And this isn't the only unit missing. If i remove this unit from the header (just experimentally) i get errors that other units are missing.
So i wonder where can i find the units which are missing. Or maybe i'm making a mistake somewhere else. Hope someone will respond to my topic.
PS: here's some info about the unit
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/EpikTimer and you can download it here

Hi mausyo this unit should be in the "YourLazarusPath\lcl" directory.
Check do you have it there?
mausyo:
I get the same error :o
The curious thing is when i compile and run the application made by the creator of the unit works like a charm. But mine doesn't want to work at all. And i even saved my application in the same directory with the unit.
Another problem is i can't really get used to the IDE Lazarus. I'm familiar with Freepascal. This one has too many buttons and it's complicated.
In case you are wondering what i need, is a effective delay function which can be microseconds accurate.I must use it for an animation which can run the same way on every computer. I would accept any other solution to my problem. But i searched for days now and haven't find anything.
I tried to write one myself but i can write only short functions which are not effective as well. This is because more complex algorithms goes beyond my knowlegde.
PS: hope the sections where i posted is the right one.
Wodzu:
But you haven't answered me the question?
Have you checked Lazarus folder for this unit?
I will be needing this unit for the same pupouse as you so I will check the package by myself and let you know if it works for me.
May I ask what thing you will be animating? Is this some sort of object or an image with different frames?
