Import Delphi 7 Package into Lazarus not working.
lazarus / 9-Editor

Hi,  I'm trying to import a D7 package into Lazarus.  The control is
ImageMan found at www.data-tech.com.

In D7, the package places four controls on the ActiveX tab.  One of
the controls is visual, the other three support other imaging
functions such as scanning documents.

When I do >> Tools >> Convert delphi package to lazarus package, it
fails.

Below is a screen shot of what I did.

Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Looking at the file path in the attached screenshot, you seem to be
trying to compile a package whose path points to D7 units, please
change to FPC/Lazarus one.

Next, Windows unit in newer Delphi versions (and FPC) has been
refactored into smaller units. This is the same issue as above.

I don't know what {$VARPROPSETTER} directive for, you can try ignoring
it by closing it in an ifdef, i.e.:
Code: [Select]{$ifndef fpc}
  {$VARPROPSETTER}
{$endif}

Still, I'm not sure whether this Windows specific package could be
compiled with fpc.
