TOPIC:

Lazarus in CT2.90 do not run.
I get the error "Procedure entry point "Direct3DCreate9Ex" not found in the DLL d3d9.dll" after start of lazarus.

Please, elaborate.

My poor English~
OK,I get the same issue

It occur on WinXP 32bit at CT2.9 BigIDE

So cannot start Lazarus BigIDE

Seem that Direct3DCreate9Ex only Exists in Vista and Up
So may CT2.9 include New packages(DirectX11?) With Direct3DCreate9Ex Binding

I am not good at Pascal, we may can found where it declared and Set it as Later Binding or Use {$IFDEF}?

I found {$DEFINE DIRECT3D_VERSION_9_VISTA} in Line 53 at C:\codetyphon\lazarus\components\pl_Win_DirectX\source\Direct3D9.pas

So Is it Missing some limit like {$IFDEF WinVersion>5.1}?

Regards

I'am having this error also, it happens when I startup lazarus on winxp SP3, could not test on a win7 machine, no messages found according this in the eventvwr of the system. Can you advice?

{$DEFINE DIRECT3D_VERSION_9_VISTA}
The same in
C:\codetyphon\lazarus\components\pl_ORCA\source\inc3d\orca_scene3d_canvas_directx.inc
C:\codetyphon\lazarus\components\pl_Win_DirectX\source\DirectDraw.pas
C:\codetyphon\lazarus\components\pl_Win_DirectX\source\Direct3D9.pas

and may be more

Please, see if this could help you:

this is not could help to me, because my Lazarus IDE (big IDE), was correctly compilied, on Windows XP SP3 can not start, crushes with error message "The procedure entry point not found in d3d9.dll". Problem is with a presence into IDE one of a DirectX packages, why is not compatible with last available DirectX for XP.

Thats, CodeTyphon 2.90 is for Vista or above only?

If no, which way I should fix this problem?

Manually remove problem package from make files?

what package? and how it must be removed?

Guys, not only your monitors is biggest than others users of codetyphoon, but Windows also ))

Thanks.

Hi,

I'll try to install CT 2.9 in a Virtual XP machine.

Get in touch....

So, please, Sternas:

pl_Win_DirectX11 package produces error on XP systems.

"Direct3DCreate9Ex is supported only in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7"

People with Windows XP is unable to run CT 2.9 BIGIDE, could you remove DirectX packages?
Or, how can we desactivate them? and re-build lazarus?

Cheers,
Miquel.

I had an idea that I proposed to Avra some time ago (when he proposed the idea about tool for package maintenance), but never had time to test it myself. This response is based on that same idea, so you can try this.

Please check this file

I hope that path is correct, since I am on Linux.

For 32bit go to win32 instead of win64.

Find this line, remove it, save file and recompile Big IDE.

If that is not enough, you can also try to remove

from this file

I hope it will work.

Please let me know about the results.

I get the same error in Windows XP 32 SP3.

The "Direct3DCreate9Ex" function is only for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The old version 2.80 works fine. ¿ The new version 2.90 is only for Windows Vista or Windows 7 ?

Did you install
MS DirectX End-User Runtimes Sir?

Windows XP SP3 support DirectX version 9 or lower. My Windows XP SP3 has installed this version.

The version 10 of DirectX only works into Windows Vista or Windows Seven.

The Codetyphon BigIDE 2.90 is searching for DirectX version 10, and don't start on Windows XP SP3.

Yes Sir
but did you install MS DirectX End-User Runtimes ?

In our LAB we have 5 PC with WinXP and with CodeTyphon 2.90

Просто закомментируйте в
C:\codetyphon\ScriptsWin\x_Lazarus_Win32_Build.bat
строчку
START /B /WAIT ..\lazarus\bin32\lazbuild.exe --create-makefile ..\lazarus\components\pl_Win_DirectX11\pl_win_directx11.lpk

получится что то типа

....
START /B /WAIT ..\lazarus\bin32\lazbuild.exe --create-makefile ..\lazarus\components\pl_Win_DirectX\pl_win_directx.lpk
rem START /B /WAIT ..\lazarus\bin32\lazbuild.exe --create-makefile ..\lazarus\components\pl_Win_DirectX11\pl_win_directx11.lpk
START /B /WAIT ..\lazarus\bin32\lazbuild.exe --create-makefile ..\lazarus\components\pl_Win_DirectXUT\pl_win_directxut.lpk
....

и дальше в файле setup.bat выбираете опцию
6) Remove and Build Lazarus
или
8) Remove and Build ALL

English version:

Simply comment out
C: \ codetyphon \ ScriptsWin \ x_Lazarus_Win32_Build.bat
line
START / B / WAIT .. \ lazarus \ bin32 \ lazbuild.exe - create-makefile .. \ lazarus \ components \ pl_Win_DirectX11 \ pl_win_directx11.lpk

get something like

....
START / B / WAIT .. \ lazarus \ bin32 \ lazbuild.exe - create-makefile .. \ lazarus \ components \ pl_Win_DirectX \ pl_win_directx.lpk
rem START / B / WAIT .. \ lazarus \ bin32 \ lazbuild.exe - create-makefile .. \ lazarus \ components \ pl_Win_DirectX11 \ pl_win_directx11.lpk
START / B / WAIT .. \ lazarus \ bin32 \ lazbuild.exe - create-makefile .. \ lazarus \ components \ pl_Win_DirectXUT \ pl_win_directxut.lpk
....

and further into the file setup.bat choose an option
6) Remove and Build Lazarus
or
8) Remove and Build ALL

I try to install from this link: www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35

And obtain the message "The installed version is more recent" in WinXP SP3. And Codetyphon don't work.

Performed as requested but lazarus still doesn't start, will try the other method that comments out the dx version.

When I comment out the entries I can open Lazarus, no problems anymore.
