[SOLVED] lNet SendMessage not functioning on Linux
lazarus / 38-Networking and Web Programming

Hi, I'm using the LNet networking library on Linux Mint 12 and despite
giving me a correct return of however long the msg is,
aSocket.SendMessage never actually seems to send the message after
connecting to the host. I've tried with several different hosts with
different ports and I've used my own code AND the TCPUDP example for
lNet. I'm using Lazarus from apt and the latest lNet. I don't have a
firewall up, I haven't managed to try it on Windows but even if it
works there I still want to develop for Linux. Could it be my OS? Or
the copy of Lazarus I have, would it be better to download it straight
from the website instead of from apt? Thanks.

Do you using Visual or Basic version? If it's Visual, maybe on Mint
the eventizer not working well. If it's Basic, do you allways eventize
lNet with CallAction?

Can you share you source here?

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I'm using the visual components and event
driving them. When I get home I might be able to share the source but
please remember that I have also tried using the example TCPUDP source
that ships with lNet and that yield the same results.

Jishaxe, I'd like to take a closer look at what you are doing, can you
message me?

I've been examining indy10 components and wasted enough time with it,
I can start looking at LNet next.

Here is a link to 1 of my websites that is running at the moment
http://www.lazdev.net23.net You will see an internet demos button on
the main menu. If you click on it it, you will see a few internet
demos that you can try out, I was planning on putting Indy and Synapse
on there but will look at LNet instead.

The machine is currently Linux (ubuntu) but can be switched to
Windows. I can host an LNet based server application on it and we can
try it out from windows/linux/mac clients.

I also have Delphi so I can build working servers to run on windows
just to make any client code easier to get running.

Jishaxe, LNet works ok for me on Linux and windows (will check Mac
later). I'm running an LNet server on my machine at the moment and
have added a new interactive demo at the URL I gave previously. Search
"LNet" for the article.
