I try to install the package LazRGBGraphics under Fedora 8 + Lazarus
0.9.24 (32bit & also 64bit), but I obtain always the error:

"/usr/lib/lazarus/components/LazRGBGraphics/rgbgtkroutines.pas(65,20)
Error: identifier not found: TGtkDeviceContext".

I search where this is defined but I don't find it.

Can anyone help me?


Thanks

I have resolved installing the daily snapshots 0.9.25Beta, in fact now
there is the file gtkdevicecontext.inc under the directory
/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/interfaces/gtk.

This is a new only on 0.9.25 or higher?

I also get the same message (/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28.2/examples/lazpai
nt1.9/bgrabitmap/bgragtkbitmap.pas(131,38) Error: Identifier not found
"TGtkDeviceContext") trying to install Lazpaint.
The file gtkdevicecontext.inc is in the folder
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28.2/lcl/interfaces/gtk.
(I have ubuntu 9.10, Lazarus 0.9.28.2).

It has been renamed as TGtk2DeviceContext. But I'm not sure if it is
always named like this, because some people have run the program with
TGtkDeviceContext.

TGtkDeviceContext was defined for gtk1 and it is TGtk2DeviceContext
for gtk 2.

TBH, ppl should not mess with/use lcl internal classes. They may
change without notice or backward compatibility
