Building FPC packages... 8 years 7 months ago #9589

Hi. I'm brand new to Typhon and starting off by trying to convert some of my Delphi7 apps via the "Convert Delphi project to Typhon project." option.

Conversion of my Delphi apps fail with errors such as 'Winunits' or 'Libc' not found. I have located their source-code via the 'FreePascal Packages Matrix', but cannot succesfully build them from here - what do I do after the 'Build selected package Makefile' bit has (apparently!) been completed successfully? When I 'Update' the FreePascal Package Matrix, the missing packages (Winunits or Libc, for example) are still absent (have a '-' instead of an 'X' under their 'i386-linux' heading.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sir
Winunits or Libc are old i386 libraries

100% convertion from Delphi 7 to CodeTyphon Studio it's NOT posible
you must do some "manual" work

For any help our lab is open 24/7

Thanks for the quick reply. I was more surprised to see that Typhon had a Delphi converter, than I was to find that it failed to convert my old Delphi7 stuff! Unfortunate, but not a deal-breaker.

To be clear, are you saying that anything with a '-' (rather than a 'X') in the FreePascal Packages Matrix cannot be built, and is therefore not usable from within Typhon? Hacking the actual source itself is way, way beyond me! Although after reading up on the Wiki on 'Libc', I understand why this library in particular would not be supported. Still, my apps work perfectly on Wine, which has always been a huge plus.

Sir
I think it's clear

We try to support old Delphi to CT projects
but this is NOT 100% possible.

Delphi Projects are NOT our problem.
