What if you wanted an even smaller Lua integration for Delphi? Just using stock Lua 5.4.7+, statically linked directly into your Delphi executable with no external overhead, and automatic registration of native Delphi routines, all in a single unit? Introducing Chandra - Lua Scripting for Delphi. A client needed a tiny, simpler, but capable Lua scripting solution than my recently released PLUA. The Chandra.o file (just Lua compiled into a single translation unit) is linked directly into Delphi via {$L Chandra.o} with ~600kb overhead. It can directly register published Delphi class methods via RTTI. Enjoy, happy coding! 👀 https://github.com/tinyBigGAMES/Chandra

Nevermind. I was testing with the --as flag. If I leave that out it works just fine.

For a long time I have always used the form "\\?\". It has some advantages (like bypass MAX_PATH limits and the name parsing). See here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file?redirectedfrom=MSDN#win32-file-namespaces Bye

I have 🙂 As I'm just starting the development of mobile apps, I would rather use the FMX native way, than jump right into a third party product which will add to the initial cost of the project. If I feel the need later though, it may be an option

I would be concerned... This sounds like you have something else causing trouble. It could be an indication of some corruption in your installation, or some other software that is causing the trouble. If things are working then no need to mess with it, but I would recommend using this as motivation to make sure you have a good backups of your data, so you will be ready if you need to create a fresh Windows install sometime soon.

Internally we didn't agree on that sentence. Anyway a new guy start next week and another one in August. Many complain that there is no jobs for Delphi. At the same time some employers leave Delphi as it is hard to find developers. It don't make sense for me 😊

🤣 it is true there are lots of animals that could kill/injure you , giant spiders eating cows - not so much redback spiders - quite common, but once you know about them not much of an issue - just don't put your hands in places where you can't see without gloves on. kangaroos - very common, see them all the time while out walking - just give them a wide berth and they will just stare at you or hop away - the most common dangerous encounters are when they jump out in front of your car at the last second.. had several of those, as has my wife, daughter, son and brother (in my car!). Insurance is expensive here. Snakes (a few of the most venomous in the world) - common in the bush and in some parts of the country they are everywhere - I've not had any close encounters, but I'm always wary when bush walking. Salt water crocidiles - they live up north - avoid rivers and the sea past certain lattitudes (I live down south so not an issue). Fresh water crocidiles - mostly in the north/north west - they rarely attack people but can do some serious damage, so best avoided. Irukandji jellyfish - mostly in the tropics - don't swim in the sea There are others but in all of the above fatal encountes with them are easily surpassed by vehicle accidents, heart disease, diabetes etc.
