installation versions for PascalIO library

Does anybody have a version for freepascal and for lazarus to successfully compile and install the pascalio library ?

Hi pascalbythree

It would be more productive to answer the question why the instructions as listed on that github repo do not work for you and show some error output.

Right now this is wasting my/our time doing the work for you with the conclusion that it seems that the packages compile out of the box.

A simple test:

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. wget https://github.com/SAmeis/pascalio/archive/master.zip
2. unzip master.zip
3. cd pascalio-master
4. fpc -Mobjfpc -B -Fusrc pascalio.pas
5.  

which resulted in

Code: [Select]

Which tells us that all necessary units compiled without compilation error. I have no reason to doubt that building the GUI component would fail.

Hello,
I successfully installed PascalIo using fpcDeluxe on Lazarus 2.2.6/Fpc 3.2.2, O.S. Win 11 64 bit.
But indeed note that the associate package PascalIoGui doesn't compile.

[Edit]
I use it to cross compile to Arm for Armbian OS.

But indeed note that the associate package PascalIoGui doesn't compile.

Noted but exactly how many of the example projects uses that component ?

(which btw is besides the fact that the 'error' can be fixed fairly easy and even besides that here is the wrong place to ask here since it is about a github project and chances that the repo owner also lurks around here is probably next to none) :shrugs:

fwiw: TS did not respond whatsoever so that leaves us to find whatever the issue is TS is running into or doesn't grasp. My crystal balls are all shattered into oblivion ages ago and I simply lack to the time.

Yes, the GUI component is also more than 10 years old, so no wonder it does not compile anymore. Anyway, you don't need it.
The rest of pascalio simply compiles - it is written in freepascal - but also note not everything is actually implemented and some units are incomplete or otherwise need attention.
