x86_64 and FPC 2.0.4 feedback
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The current snapshot uses 2.0.4 of FPC.

Not only does it work with the 64 bit lazarus, but it seems to have
cleaned up several problems with dialogs creating access violations
when first try at opening takes place.

But problems with size mismatch for data still persist.
Quote
for i := 0 to list.count-1 do
  something;

will cause a warning while
Quote
for i := 0 to pred(list.count) do
  something;

works fine.

I am not sure how to submit a bug report about x86_64.

How do I get my hands on a 64bit lazarus?

@bob.appleyard: Take a look at the Daily Snapshots, also linked to
from the menu at the left

Just submit a normal bug report and mention it only happens on x86_64

Ah, and by the way. This is a bug on the Free Pascal Compiler, not on
Lazarus IDE.

I now did it. However, I am not sure about the apparent discrepencies
in addobject for Tlistbox and Tcombobox. (See my post under
Databases). Is that an FPC or a Lazarus problem?

TListBox and TComboBox are visual controls, so it´s a Lazarus problem.

think this means a lazarus with 64 bit Free Pascal.

The weird thing is, when Installed the Lazarus on my amd64 system, it
makes a nice item in the menu, however, when I click the icon it says
: Cant find 'startlazarus' ! :shock:

So I was desperate I searched for 'startlazarus' , and then I run
that, he whole thing started to work. This is strange. Has anyone
encountered it?

Here is the installation guide:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus. It worked for
me, and it showed me how to install a 64 bits version under Mandriva.
