Magic4Lazarus

(1/1)

dead_fly:
You can retrieve the mime type from a file without using a wrapper of terminal (or prompt of command) to get the command 'file' (or 'file.exe') output.

Accessing directly the library now is possible:

Tested on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP.

Thanks for the developer of 'file' and the port 'file.exe'!

kamischi:
If you add the following to magic4lazarus.pas, i seems to be fine on Mac OS X, too:

  {$IFDEF DARWIN}
  MAGIC_LIBRARY = 'libmagic.dylib';
  {$linklib libmagic}
  {$ENDIF}

After moving magic.mgc into this directory in the application bundle (filemimetest.app/Contents/MacOS) the example worked. fpc 2.4.0, lazarus 0.9.28.2

I don't expect it matters, but libmagic was installed as file (5.03) using fink.

Thank you, I don't have a Mac OS to try so I couldn't add it.

It matters because MAGIC_LIBRARY is bundled on application File 5.03 (stable, but exists the source of 5.04).
