Richmemo

[MoellerCLaus]

On my way to converting my application (3.234.129 lines) from Delphi to Lararus:

Richmemo: From the official sites it is a version from 2009? From the SVN I get from 4 days ago; which doesn't compile / link. Anyone having a link to a "in between" version?

Indy: There is a download at fulgan. Latest stable version to be found where?

I love to work with Lazarus. 10 years with Delphi; it's a steap curve learning helping yourself. Bur I like Lazarus / FPC it's smart and intelligent!

From the SVN I get from 4 days ago; which doesn't compile

I've just tested the SVN version https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr/components/richmemo from Wiki. Here it compiles and its useable (Lazarus 1.3 r47207M FPC 2.6.4 i386-win32-win32/win64).

What is your OS and Lazarus version?

[typo]

Try lzRichEdit, it compiles.

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/lzRichEdit

If you are a Windows user, you will have a good surprise. And if you are a Linux user, please help on development.

What is the error message you are getting on compilation?

[MoellerCLaus]

  First of all thanks that you care!

My application is just a button and a richmemo!
Changes in search paths is a way through but probably not what the composer want us to!

[skalogryz]

hmm... are you getting the error when you compile the project and when you compile Lazarus?

Do you have richmemo installed into Lazarus? I'd think you should.

And if yes, then richmemo units should not be part of your search path at all. Since they would be appended automatically by Lazarus.

You also need to open your project location path. Find "lib\i386-win32" folder there and wipe all .o and .ppu files out of it. Otherwise they'll keep conflicting with "lib" of richmemo package.

[MoellerCLaus]

I deleted in *.o anmd *.ppu's

Richmemo is installed and compiled with Lazarus. I am on Win7. Simple project as described and the above is the result.

Could it be the way I download the SVN?

[skalogryz]

could you please archive and post the project here?

The problem I see - is that your project trying to compile richmemo sources. It shouldn't , because sources are compiled during "installation" to the Lazarus.

[MoellerCLaus]

You are right.
When making a new project in a new directory; it works fine.
Putting a Richmemo in my mainform in my project; looking to the source file; it adds the richmemopackage in the uses clause.
I have had several attempts to install it. How to reset it and start all over?

[MoellerCLaus]

  I am still not sure I install correctly from the SVN repository.
Maybe it is not richmemo but my ability to download/install from SVN? Can I read somwhere how to do?

[skalogryz]

I'm not sure, if it has anything to do with SVN, but you can do the following.

Revert all the changes made at richmemo package. (if you're using tortoise SVN you can just right click on it and hit select "svn revert")

Then - uninstall the package from Lazarus and recompile the IDE.
After that - install it richmemo again, recompiling IDE.

Once done, create a new project and drop RichMemo on the form. The only unit that should be added to "uses" section is "RichMemo" and not "RichMemoPackage"

[skalogryz]

But looking at the other problems that you've. I'd think, something is messed-up with your Lazarus configuration.

Problems look similar to me.

[typo]

Congratulations, Richmemo users. And for the developer too, of course.

[MoellerCLaus]

  Solved and completely my own mistake.
I wanted to make an editor based on RichMemo.
So I copied the /ide/RTFDialog. After deleting these files. Installing Tortouise with link to richmemo from lazarus thrunk. It works

Thanks

you could copy the file, but you'd need to change the name.
I'm glad it works for you.

@ typo: thank you!
