running lazarus over remote X server
« on: January 20, 2005, 12:34:20 am »
I tried running the lazarus ide over a tcp/ip X server connection, and it simply got stuck.
Programs made by it also don't work properly.
(that's very surprising, since X has to be network transparent).
Has anyone had the same problem?

Nope, it is the way I develop at home. My main development machine is XP running xwin32 and lazarus running on a FC2 machine.
However if you have a slow network connection, you may get better results with (tight)vnc (I develop remote on sparc and amd64 on a 128kbit link)
Mousemovements cause a lot of X events, which can slow down your app when running X remotely.

It does run but very slow. i traced it and found out that it seems to do a roundtrip to the server on every mouse event by calling XQueryPointer.
offtopic: the only free X Server for windows that I know is in Java - called WeirdX (quite unusable one). most of them are non-free or shareware as far as i know.

the x-server from cygwin is free. I don't know if it is the best.
