gtkextra in fpc?

Hello everybody,

are there units available to achieve GTKExtra from Free Pascal?

With regards,

                                       Jan Jelowicki

I've written several games in FreePascal, all of which are open source. 
Here's a link to my current project, GearHead:

http://www.geocities.com/pyrrho12/programming/gearhead/index.html

GearHead compiles for both Windows and Linux. I expect that it could compile 
on other platforms, but so far nobody has volunteered to test this.

I'd certainly be interested in learning about other FPC game developers. Let 
me know when your site is up and I'll include a link to it on the GearHead 
page.

Error: Can't declare procedure as EXTERNAL

Hi,

the new FPC CVS release of 29/11 forbids
delphi / kylix type of library use

eg 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
interface

function QObjectList_create: QObjectListH; cdecl; overload;
function QObjectList_create(list: QObjectListH): QObjectListH; cdecl; overload;

implementation

function QObjectList_create(list: QObjectListH): QObjectListH; cdecl; external QtShareName name
QtNamePrefix + 'QObjectList_create2';
function QObjectList_create: QObjectListH; cdecl; external QtShareName name QtNamePrefix + 'QObjectList_create';
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is forbidden now and generates a "Error: Can't declare procedure as EXTERNAL" when compiling.

Apparently the external directive has to be moved to the INTERFACE section.
I do not know why this has changed (perhaps a very good reason),
but to me it seems not so good:

   1) This is not Delphi/Kylix compatible (just try to compile Qt.pas)

   2) This breaks a lot of existing code, especially bindings ( I will need to move 3283 external directives in
my qte binding)
(Continue reading)

This is correct.

Simple solution: Put them in an include file. Also the interface
declarations for kylix. For FPC only use the include file with the
externals in the interface and for Kylix use both include files.

If you have it in the interface anyway, there is no need to have both files
?

Can't we allow it with a warning? Only under rare circumstances the late external cause problems afaik.

Parser Generators

I'm looking for a good free (as in speech) parser generator for
FreePascal. Right now I'm working with Coco/R (from
http://www.tetzel.com/CocoR/) and I'm not very pleased with this tool.
The generated code works perfect with fpc-1.9.4 but the (parser)
compiler only works on Windows and I want my project to be as
cross-platform as possible (Even the development tools).

Try tplexyacc.
It's distributed with FPC. sources are in utils/tply
