Last WE I fixed some serious bugs inside freepascal library units for morphos, therefore now the Lazarus component library (LCL) can be compiled automatically every night by my server.

It creates a ready-to-use package with Freepascal some tools, RTL, FCL, LCL and a short readme and place it to my webpage: FPC Experimental Release Packages

If someone is interested in it, take it, try it.
Please notice, the LCL is far from finished, still many bugs inside, some items will not work or just crash. But its alreay enough to make some simple application or games. Example sources for such little applications can be found at GitHub

For more informations check my Blog

Well done!

Tried a few examples. Very good work!!

very nice!!

But still long way to go

More informations at my Blog

Thanks for your time developing this software!

Sorry for the slow speed, recorded via VNC is there a screen recorder for MorphOS?

some serious LCL bugs removed
- layers for Buffer bitmap
- size calculation
- redrawing on resize

I created a virtual machine with cross compilers for Amiga, AROS and MorphOS and a working Lazarus able to compile LCL programs for all this platforms.

Very cool ALB42, thank,

i download your VM.

But i can t install another language
"Could not install the full language support"

i want French lol because my keybord is azerty not querty or it's possible to change just keyboard ?

I want to test ^^

Thanks you

to be honest, I'm not an expert ;) but as far as I see, to install the language you have to start it with root permission so type in xterm

sudo gnome-language-selector

I'm not sure if you need, it you can just set your keyboard language with

setxkbmap fr

if you want to have it automatically for every bootup, just add it at end of

/home/test/.profile

I tried with ubuntu... but it was >20GB installation, so I changed to this smaller one, maybe later I try to use DSL again, its much smaller.

I'm curious about any results/experience, good ..... or bad :P

ok thanks, i test that.

I compiled my first app with it lol.

grats

I added a little FAQ for this Release

http://blog.alb42.de/virtual-lazarus/#faq

@beworld: did it work?

Posible Ubuntu installation ? if posible please add guide

@ALB42 yessssssss it work thanks

Very interesting indeed! Thanks ALB42!

thanks for the feedback. Do not hesitate to report errors/problems you find. It's still very alpha and with your reports you can steer the direction of development ;)


@Blasterreal: The installed linux is based on Ubuntu and I use personally Ubuntu at home. To install the complete package is not trivial I started a how to for AROS crossinstall.

Manual for crossinstaller AROS

for MorphOS will be rather the same. just "OS_TARGET=morphos CPU_TARGET=powerpc" instead "OS_TARGET=aros CPU_TARGET=i386" and you have to change the lazarus git brnach to lazarus-morphos

But take care, the manual is not finished, only if you have a deeper understanding of Linux you should try.

@ ALB42

Looks neat.

A few thoughts:

1. The name is as cryptic as it gets :) How about "OpenMaps"?

2. Having the statistics in a separate window is perfectly fine. But given that search functionality is most likely going to be used a lot, it is a pity that one has to open a separate window to access this part of the app. The search field could probably be put in the main toolbar if the form layout is streamlined: In popular map applications, it appears to be common these days that you enter either coordinates (lattitude and longitude (in this order) separated by comma or a slash) or the name of a place / an address in the very same input field, which would leave only the search results to be put outside the toolbar (overlaying right side of the map view?).

@ASiegel

Thanks for your comments, but I'm not sure it will really become a (releaseable) program. In the end the most will use the Openstreetmap.org in Webbrowser, which I got as comment already: "Useless work, one can just use MorphOS Webbrowser".

But for me it's more interrest in Image handling and networking/caching, (Networking I did before already with a torrent client for AROS from scratch) and to debug my LCL work.

But also the program can be for use for me, for reading/showing/saving of KMZ and GPX waypoints and routes (recorded bicycle routes) would be more interresting for me than just plain search. So all this gui is more for debug. (the search input already accepts Lat. Lon. coordinates, separated by a space)

And of course, and thats the only reason I publish the work here, to inspire people to use Lazarus/FreePascal to make programs for any Amiga-like-system, to show what is possible. Because, as it seems, I'm still the only one really using it.

All major desktop operating systems (i.e. Windows and MacOS) include dedicated map applications so I am sure someone is using them (I know I have). In terms of memory consumption (and startup time), I would assume your app is more efficient than a full-blown web browser.

Perhaps sharing sample code might inspire developer to play around with it more seriously.

This is how i came to this idea... Google earth... rather huge packet.


Quote:

if you look into the first post you will find a GitHub Link to many testcode. Very simple just to show which elements are working already, but also full featured Games (ColorIt, Mines) or Applications (EdiSyn, ImageViewer).

Updated with Tracks and Waypoints, also the search relocated
