Lazarus support

[andy]

Hello

I have some problems when try to recompile TeeChartVCLSOURCE-2015.15 using Lazarus 1.4.2 (FPC 2.6.4).

What TeeChart source version i should use and what Lazarus IDE version is supported (design and runtime ) ?

Thank you

Hi andy,

With the source code version and provided TeeRecompile tool you should be able to compile the source code for lazarus and install the components into Lazarus using generated teechart.lpk. We have also found that the design-time editor produces several errors and has inconsistent behavior depending on the Lazarus versions so we can not guarantee it will work. Which specific problems do you have with it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Andy,

Current version (2015.15) doesn't compile with Lazarus 1.4.2. However, I could compile build 2014.12.140923, from September 2014, using the attached TeeRecompile version. Can you please check if it works fine at your end?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Andy,

We could fix 2015.15 sources to compile for Lazarus. I'm going to send an email with a source code test version.

Thank you
Compiled and installed to IDE successfully.
But DesignTime Series Editor does not work. Can you fix it ?

Hi andy,

Thanks for your feedback. I added it to the bug list to be fixed for future releases: http://bugs.teechart.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1267

Hello!

Sorry for popping up such an old topic. I'm trying to use TeeChart v19 in Lazarus x64 (1.6.2 with fpc 3.0.0). TeeRecompile doesn't work for me so i tried to compile the code directly in IDE. The compiling process terminates at:

Code: Select all

For x86 the code compiles normally. But I really need to use the x64 version because I work with large arrays of data for scientific purposes. Could you, please, help me with recompiling this code for x64 Lazarus?

Btw, after compiling under x86 and installing the code in IDE I've found out that the DesignTime Editor still does not work (as it was mentioned above). When I try to navigate through it the cursor just jumps randomly all over the settings listbox leaving the forms empty. Please, have a look at that, as well.

Hello axline,

Could you confirm which Rad Studio IDE are you using because we can check exactly the problem you experiencing?

Thanks in advance

Hello, Sandra!

I'm using Lazarus IDE v. 1.6.2 with fpc 3.0.0 (x64). Lazarus used to be supported before (and i hope it still is). The source code compiles for x86 Lazarus, but fails for x64 (the same IDE, the same compiler version).

[Sandra]

Hello axline,

I'm reviewing the problem you are experiencing, we try to give you an answer as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance

[axline]

Dear Sandra, have you reviewed the problem? Is there any solution? I really need the x64 TeeChart for Lazarus to complete my ongoing project.

[axline]

Dear admins, please, come up with some answers. Has this problem been reviewed? Is there a way to use TeeChart with Lazarus x64?

Hello,

TeeChart v2017.20 with sources compiles fine (through TeeRecompile) for Lazarus. But we find problems when we try to install the components into the IDE.
We are trying to fix it.

[axline]

Thank you for the news, Yeray! I've installed v2017.21 with Lazarus v. 1.6.4 X64 (fpc 3.0.2). So far, so good! The components were successfully compiled and installed into IDE (I did it directly from the IDE, without using TeeRecompile). Going to perform more tests.

[Yeray]

Hello,

I'm glad to hear you could install it!
