Lazarus/FPC support

[acaland 0]

Hello,

 

I am trying to install Python4Delphi on Lazarus 2.2.2 with FPC 3.2.2 on MacOS Monterey but I have got the following errore while compiling the package:

 

 

I have just opened the LPK package that I download from the github account of Python4delphi and compile it.

 

One more question: I see there is also a Python4Lazarus fork. What is the difference between the twos? Which one is the more updated?

 

Thanks a lot in advance

 

Best

Antonio

The MacOS support is only for Dephi.

FPC support is only for Win32 & Win64

thank you. From the link you provided I read:

 

"MacOSX and Linux compatibility has not been fully tested. Please test and if required submit a patch."

 

So I am just testing it it is working and maybe patch it

 

Is "GetLastError()" method available only on Windows?

GetLastError() is a typical Win32 API function to get the latest error in an API call from OS.

I replaced GetLastError() with GetLastOSError() and it compiled successfully!

 

Is this supposed to achieve the same purpose but working cross platform?

thanks

This is now fixed.  @acalandCould you please report whether fpc MacOS works ok?

thank you. I just build it and installed fine. Next I will try to run some example to check if it actually works (I have a Apple Silicon Mac) and report it later

 

By the way, what is the difference between P4D and Python4Lazarus?

 

thx

Python4Lazarus is a fork focusing on fpc support.  It does not include the based on WrapDelphi, delphifmx, delphivcl stuff.
