I am under the impression that you have an old version of fpGUI. The current version (that is, the develop branch of the GitHub repository) is 1.5.

Hello Roland.

BSaidus might be using the maint branch, which is still version 1.4.1.

However, even with the maint branch, I haven't encountered any problems under Windows 11 (but I used a MSEide/ideU .prj project file).

@BSaidus, which project are you trying to compile?

I use Lazarus 2.2.0 32/64 and FPC 3.2.2 32/64 on Debian 11 64 bit, Windows 10, Windows 7 32/64, Windows XP 32,  FreeBSD 64.
Widgetset: fpGUI, MSEgui, Win32, GTK2, Qt.

On github  ;)  I've downloaded the version 1.4.1 of fpGUI on sourceforge.
Indeed the dev version works well (from github).

Hi
I downloaded today the 1.5 version from Github, went very smooth...
It took me a small hour, to come to terms with it, easy and intuitive to use  8)
Me Likey  8-)
Theming is also quite easy...

I really want to recompile some of my programs in a way they don't depend on GTK or Qt.

So I have tried using fpGUI as LCL backend, and compile an empty form.

Had to open this issue: https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/issues/142

If you know how to overcome it, please comment here or there.

Hi
Well, ofc. you could've just read this thread and found this quote:
Quote
Note that  fpGUI for LCL is work in progress but not yet usable, only "pure" fpGUI widgetset is working and dont needs LCL nor Interfaces.
by @Fred vS.
My own experiments also shy away from the LCL and uses the pure/raw fpGUI repository.
Look at the various examples / demos and work your way forwards from there, it's quite easy  ;D
It ofc. depends on the amount of spaghetti you have to /untangle/ to loose the LCL...?
