[solved] can't compile fpgui on ARM64 / aarch64

[dieselnutjob]

Hi
I have used fpgui in the past on aarch64 computers before, but, as of this morning I can't get it to compile.
I'm getting fpg_x11.pas(1069.18)Error: Can't determine which overloaded function to call

My guess is that my previous installations were on older versions of fpc, so maybe my fpc is too new.

Any thoughts?

Hello.

What branch of fpGUI do you use, maint or develop?
[EDIT] Tested ColorWeel demo from maint branch, compiled with fpc 3.2.3 for Linux aarch64 from fpcupdeluxe and the compilation + run is ok.

I'm using 1.4.1

I'm using 1.4.1

OK, but what branch?
In the fpGUI GitHub site, on top left there is a button to choose the branch to download with the green button.
By default it is the branch "develop", did you try with the branch "maint" (see picture)?

If you are using git, to switch to branch "maint", just do this:

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. > git checkout maint

thanks Fred

It works now (maint branch)
