BGRABitmap 2018-06-17 attempted update in package Manager

[PaulANormanNZ]

HI,

I just tried to Update

BGRABitmap
BGRACOntrols
and BGRAControlsFX

Marked with NEW in the Online Package Manager.

Said it down loaded and installed ok

Then when it went to rebuild the Lazarus IDE
I get surprisingly...

bgracanvas.pas(1436,33) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 3: Got "TBitmap", expected "TBGRACustomBitmap"

Which is an overloaded prodcedure...

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TBGRACanvas.Draw(X, Y: Integer; SrcBitmap: TBitmap);
2. begin
3.   FBitmap.PutImage(X,Y,SrcBitmap,dmDrawWithTransparency);
4. end;  
5.  

I now seem to have a corrupted IDE and obviously can not rebuild standard projects using TBGRABitmap - what to do now please?

TIA
Paul

EDIT: Lazarus 1.8.0 r56594 FPC 3.0.4 x86_64-win64-win32/win64

Lazarus and FPC version?

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed Lazarus 1.8.0 64-bit in a secondary installation, a fresh install.

Then I installed OPM from the Lazarus 1.8.0 components folder. Rebuilt Lazarus.

And finally I installed BGRABitmap, BGRAControls and BGRAControlsFX with OPM. Rebuilt Lazarus, and it starts normally.

I'm not saying that the problem is not real, I had similar problems in the past. And is usually due to old built files (.o and .ppu, inside the lib folder) that are not rebuilt when upgrading to a newer version.

Try deleting the BGRABitmap folder (or just the lib folder) from your Lazarus settings (OPM folder) and reinstall it.

Thanks very much,

Will do.

Opps!

Will try and get back to base level using the OLD copy of the Lazarus.exe

Thanks,
Paul

Ouch. It never happened to me before

Try reinstall Lazarus but keep your settings. Then the next rebuild you must have everything as it was.

[PaulANormanNZ]

Thanks Lainz,

Yes was thinking I should look at that, or even seeing if there was an upgrade available now.

Just what things should I do to keep my settings please?

TIA
PAul

If I remember it well the setup prompt if you want to keep your settings. And yes there is a new version.

[PaulANormanNZ]

Thanks for your help Lainz,

Well this ended up being a very strange one.

I had to just scrap the whole previous installation.

I had not placed any new components for ages, and things seemed to have been running well right up to the time the BGRA components seemed to give trouble - but I don't think it was them as such.

Updating them in the Online Package Manager (OPM) then led to this problem (previous messages).

Ended up wiping the very directories, OPM directories - all settings - just everything.

Utterly clean install of everything appeared to be required, and  then relocating and installing the few previous components not covered by the OPM (like CEF3).

IDE is fine now (as expected from a clean install).

Lazarus 1.8.4 r57972 FPC 3.0.4 x86_64-win64-win32/win64

Current project now reopens, compiles and runs successfully - now back to original reason for these BGRA posts :-)

Is there a way during install to go for a BigIDE full component set, just like Code Typhon (which I completely migrated away from quite a while ago)?

Paul

[lainz]

No but now is more easy with OPM. Just install all you need or everything.
