FPC 2.6.0 released!

[Leledumbo]

Some news?

The debs seem to be built for i386 only. Use the tar archive instead.

Thanks for the hard work of the developers.

Ok I thinked that I made something wrong but fpc 2.6.0 can't compile LCL 0.9.31.
On ArchLinux X64 and Windows XP 64 and Windows 7 X64 both of all.
2.4.4 and 2.7.1 work great..

For me FPC 2.6.0 works well with both Lazarus 0.9.31 from trunk and 0.9.30.3 fixes branch — in Kubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7.

Sorry for my stepping in but I am confused...
It said fp2.6 support advance record but I found it workable as well in fp2.5.1.At least below code works fine on my system:latest snapshot under windows xp.

Could anybody figure me out was I missing something else?Thanks for your help in advance.

Code: [Select]

type
TStudent:record
public
  procedure sayHi;
  function toString:string;
private
  name:string;
  age:integer;
end;
implementation
procedure TStudent.sayHi;
begin
  showMessage(toString);
end;
function toString:string;
begin
  result:=format('Name is %s and age is %d.',[name,age]);
end;

2.5.1 was what would be 2.6.0, probably your snapshot already includes the feature.

Hi, i can't rebuild Lazarus SVN with 2.6.0 due to some strange Jcf2 related problems:

Code: [Select]

/Developer/lazarus/components/jcf2/ReadWrite/EditorConverter.pas(106,17) Hint: Unit "math" not used in EditorConverter
/Developer/lazarus/components/jcf2/ReadWrite/EditorConverter.pas(108,48) Hint: Unit "JcfMiscFunctions" not used in EditorConverter
"Compiling package jcfidelazarus 2.0" completedSeems to go Ok, (tested also compiling .lpk via Open Package is working), but next:

Code: [Select]

/Developer/lazarus/debugger/gdbmidebugger.pp(7116,107) Warning: Symbol "GDBDisassemble" is deprecated
PPU Loading /Developer/lazarus/components/jcf2/IdePlugin/lazarus/lib/i386-darwin/ParseTreeNode.ppu

PPU Source: JcfGlobal.inc not found
Recompiling ParseTreeNode, checksum changed for tokens
ParseTreeNode.pas(76,12) Fatal: Can't find unit ParseTreeNode used by Converteri get this error.

As soon as I mark JcfIdeLazarus 2.0 to be Uninstalled, rebuild process goes Ok.

2.5.1 was what would be 2.6.0, probably your snapshot already includes the feature.

If it is a recent 2.5.1  If it is an early 2.5.1, it might not have advanced records at all.

So in short, development versions (odd second or third number) are useless without dates.

Thank you!I got the idea.

I can't seem to compile the latest git (svn) version using FPC 2.6.0-1 (automatically upgraded by Arch Linux Pacman).

Code: [Select]

Compiling lclmemmanager.pas
lclmemmanager.pas(100,37) Error: Cannot access a private field of an object here
lclmemmanager.pas(100,47) Error: Incompatible types: got "Int64" expected "LongInt"
lclmemmanager.pas(100,53) Error: Cannot access a private field of an object here
lclmemmanager.pas(100,64) Error: Illegal symbol for property access
lclmemmanager.pas(98,14) Error: There is no method in an ancestor class to be overridden: "TExtMemoryStream.Realloc(var LongInt):^untyped;"
lclmemmanager.pas(104,1) Fatal: There were 5 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted

Should I downgrade FPC to 2.4.4 or wait?

Have installed fpc2.6.0, but makes no difference to my gripe spanning at least 3.5 years.

In linux, comboboxes just will not work as intended. Perfect in Windoze.

Likewise in a ListBox, if columns (in my cae 5) is set all I get STILL is one column (at the left).

When will these problems be solved?

Everything is perfect in Windoze but I cannot use linux for the same application(s). Really FRUSTRATING!! 

Could anyone who could help please email me - I almost never look at this site.

Ask that in the bugreport where you first reported it. It makes it easier to keep all correspondance together

Note that listbox as a visual component is part of lazarus, not FPC. This thread is about FPC, the non visual part.
