Lazarus Indy not installable?
lazarus / 5-Lazarus Extra Components

----------------------------------------------------------------------
TristamShandy · 2013-09-07 13:44

I use Windows 7, run Lazarus 1.0.12, and from what I can guess from my
source code, am attempting to install Indy 10.5.8 on to Lazarus from a
DVD (from Blaisepascal.eu).

In the Wiki Article "http://wiki.freepascal.org/Indy_with_Lazarus",
under "How to Install [3]", I am told that I can "copy the *.pas,
*.lrs and *.inc of the \Lib\System, \Lib\Core, and \Lib\Protocols
subdirectories into a new directory of your choosing". I just copied
the whole source tree from \win\ExtraComponents\Indy to
c:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.2\source\packages\IndyLaz. I thought that copying
the whole source tree shouldn't hurt it. I guess it must have. When
compiling, I got the errors:

Code:
[Select]G:\Sources\Lazarus\Indy\Lib\Core\IdCompilerDefines.inc(279,4)
Warning: Misplaced global compiler switch
G:\Sources\Lazarus\Indy\Lib\Core\IdAntiFreeze.pas(78,15) Error:
Forward declaration not solved "TIdAntiFreeze.Process;"
G:\Sources\Lazarus\Indy\Lib\Core\IdAntiFreeze.pas(60,3) Hint: Unit
"IdBaseComponent" not used in IdAntiFreeze
G:\Sources\Lazarus\Indy\Lib\Core\IdAntiFreeze.pas(132) Fatal: There
were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
The code highlighted was line 78 of IdAntiFreeze, in the Type
declaration:
Code: [Select]procedure Process; override;
Since all files from the source were copied, I can't see how "copying
too many files" would break this, if that is what I did wrong. Any
ideas?

Later Edit:

I noticed from my own message that the drive I used to get Indy was
not the drive I thought. So I copied Indy from the DVD to the drive on
C: as stated above. I got fresh, shiny new error messages, and the
source still refuses to compile. I have now copied all shown and
hidden messages here:

This is a well known issue with Indy for Lazarus.

The installation script for Lazarus/FPC has never been updated in
Indy; and it can't work properly with subdirectories (plus some other
minor issues).

Recent topics in this forum about installation for Indy with
Lazarus/FPC:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,21363
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,20782

And one from Indy forum:
http://forums2.atozed.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26483

Concretely, you can:

1/ Respect exactly all the steps described in the "How to install [3]
Windows, Indy 10.5.8.0 and above " paragraph at
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Indy_with_Lazarus (i.e. all files in one
directory only).

2/ Or try to use my updated script  (i.e. indylaz.lpk) to deal with
subdirectories during Indy installation. You can find it in one my
posts of the second link for this forum (i.e.  "Indy 10 installation
instructions on Wiki needs"), or in one of my posts in the link in the
Indy forum. Or I can repost, it if you wish.

**Edit **: It's possible that the script coming from your DVD is not
the old one. And so, that what I've written before is not completely
true.  Could you eventually post it, in order I can check it ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ChrisF · 2013-09-07 14:29

BTW, you can download the most recent Indy package (currently 10.6)
at: http://indy.fulgan.com/ZIP/

**EDIT ** I forgot this link:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=18191.0 . It seems
you have an outdated version of Indy: try with a more recent one.

Thanks ChrisF:

I have the indylaz.lpk source below. For some reason, it can't be
attached.

Your script is not the old Indy one, indeed. The most important line
in this script being:
Code: [Select] <OtherUnitFiles Value="Core;Protocols;System"/>
So, your problem is probably related to a bug inside Indy itself (as
stated into the last link to a topic in this forum I've given in my
former post).

That's why, unless you really need to use the version present on your
CD, I strongly advise you to download the current version of Indy :
http://indy.fulgan.com/ZIP/  (current file is "Indy10_5056.zip").

For my own, I'm using them since a while (currently using release
5052) and there is no compilation troubles with them.

But, as indicated before, the installation script present in these
packages is incorrect. So you'll have to replace it (after having
decompress the whole package) by yours, or by mine (I'm attaching it
again with this post).

You don't need to put all the files into one directory with both these
2 scripts (i.e. the one present on your CD, or mine), but you still
need to ask the compilation twice (as indicated into the wiki page)
inside Lazarus. Well, if you can at least compile it once, of course
...

The second compilation is extremely fast (there is just an minor
update for one of the compiled file during this second compilation).

Let me know if you still have any problem with your installation.
