LCLType, FileUtils, TBitmap in console program

[danny]

What unit use to replace LCL, LCLType, FileUtils and use TBitmap and CopyFile program console in Linux?

[Leledumbo]

Depends on what you want to do with them.

[danny]

I need to use the functions copyfile (FileCtrl) and also the types of variables TBitmap ...

[Leledumbo]

Seems like there's no replacement then. You can use NoGUI widgetset or use LCLBase instead of LCL for console programming. The latter doesn't require initialization.

[danny]

I put LCLBase and compiled, but gave error in WSimgList. Where reference is it? Below is the compilation error:


/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.6/lcl/units/i386-linux/wsimglist.o: na função `REGISTERCUSTOMIMAGELIST':

Oops, you miss 1 unit: Interfaces. Put it as the first unit in the main file.

[danny]

Error: Fatal: Can not find unit Interfaces used test_console. Check if package LCL is in the dependencies.

PS: I am developing a console program.

[Leledumbo]

I missed this line:

/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.6/

you seem to be using last year release. Can you compile the attached project? Does it still show the same linker message? If yes, then try upgrading to the latest release. The attached project has been tested on 1.2.0. Unlike many other projects, we don't provide support for old version. So whenever something goes wrong, upgrade to latest release first and try to reproduce.

[danny]

If I include the unit "Interfaces" in your project, it follows the same error.

[hinst]

Instead of LCLBase package try using LazUtil package (or LazUtils, I'm not sure) and see if it contains required unit

LCLBase requires Interfaces
LazUtils does not

[danny]

LCLUtils has not unit "Graphics"

[hinst]

I see. What you are trying to do is not going to work.
If you want your application be independent from OS GUI and be able to work with graphics in memory, then Graphics unit is not what u can use for this because it depends on various other units from LCL which I doubt can be separated from each other

I suggest using Agg library for graphics

[danny]

Using Agg libraries?

[hinst]

U can use AGG library from this URL:
https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/tree/master/src/corelib/render/software

A crappy sample demonstrating how to use AGG library to generate an image & save it as JPEG:

find other samples in agg-demos subfolder of repository

[danny]

Have you used Agg unit in console program?

I'm asking because I have to redo the code to run on this unit.
