[SOLVED] Is there updated gifanim tool? If not, what is the alternative?

[Awesome Programmer]

I have been reading that gifanim component for Lazarus is outdated and has not been updated since 2009. I did try to install it on my fpc 2.6.0 and Laz 1.0.6. However, it complained that it can't install the package.

so, is there an updated gifanim tool? if not what is the alternative?

I simply want to display animated gif on my Lazarus form.

  Thanks for the reply, but there are so many different versions of BGRAControls and LazPaint listed. Which one do I choose? Also, do I have to to install LazPaint along with BGRAbitmap?

I just downloaded the latest and the greatest BGRAbitmap package 7.2 and try to install into my IDE. Compiler failed to install it successfully with message, "/home/Joey/111jjj/bgrabitmap7.2/bgrabitmap7.2/bgrasse.pas(159,21) Fatal: Internal error 201001032"

Should I try installing one version at a time to see if any works?

Edit: I just downloaded and try to install BGRAbitmap 7.1 to my Lazarus IDE. I got the same error as above and the error seems to be in the same file and at the same location.

Code: [Select]

procedure Add3D_AlignedSSE(var dest: TPoint3D_128; const src: TPoint3D_128); assembler;
asm
  movaps xmm0, [dest]  <<<----something about dest it doesn't like
  movups xmm1, [src]
  addps xmm0, xmm1
  movaps [dest], xmm0
end;

Edit: BGRAbitmap 6.9.5 does the samething --- failed to compile and install.

thanks again for your help.

Sorry, I can't help you much, I use CodeTyphon, BIG IDE with integrated BGRA_controls.
