KZDESKTOP Linux

[wjackson153]

Can anyone confirm KZDESKTOP works with Linux Mint 12

My Install:

Lazarus 1.0.4
FPC 2.6.0
i386-Linux GTK2

After adding kzdesktop_ide.lpk

there is no options in my tools menu

For KzDesktop Start, etc

If anyone has it working, on  linux mint please advise me of your method.
I really would like to have a single window enviroment

Which revision of KZDesktop? At least in my Lazarus 1.1 it works partially. I don't have stable version at home, and indeed KZDesktop doesn't work well in development version, but it should work fine in stable version like what I have at my office.

[wjackson153]

I downloaded the svn I assume it was the lattest trunk
from the programmers website.

[Leledumbo]

Do you have it in Tools->Options dialog?

[wjackson153]

No thats what im saying after adding the package  it never shows up on my
tool menu, thats what im having problems with its not loading for
some odd reason

Ive tried lxde , kde and gnome enviroments  same affect

im thinking it does not work on lazarus 1.0.4

im thinking it does not work on lazarus 1.0.4

As I said, it works in 1.0.4 installed in my office computer. So probably something is wrong. Can you attach a screenshot of your package treeview?

[wjackson153]

Ok here is a screen shot of all loaded packages

[Leledumbo]

Actually, I mean the one with treeview, but I guess that can help as well. I don't see kzdesktop listed, so I guess it's not installed. The IDE gets rebuilt after installation, right?

[wjackson153]

Yes the ide gets rebuilt,  but as I said before but KzDesktop does not install

what trunk are you using ?

[wjackson153]

Ok so I finally got KzDestop installed and its working somewhat, but just out of curosity
does anyone else have problem with trying to resize the form, what i mean is , by dragging
cursor to end of form, clicking when arrow shows up and dragging to resize the form.
nothing happens or at least for me.

This is what I did to get KzDesktop to work, seems there was some missing gtk libs for
whatever reason. so I complete remove gtk2 and and dependency, then recompiled from source
from the stable trunk.  Lo and behold KzDesktop compiled and built the package as it should.

But as I said above Im having resizing issues. For the time being im manually using properties
to resize the form for my needs, quite anoying but least I dont have 7 windows accross my
taskbar

AFAIR it works, could you check the relevant properties in object inspector?

quite anoying but least I dont have 7 windows accross my
taskbar

Tools->Options->Environment->Window->Show single button in taskbar

Thank you Leledumbo,

All of your methods work a treat, now I can enjoy my programming enviroment, Thanks for
all of your help and sugguestions, you rock mate.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
