- 1. What is this?
- ----------------
- This is the first public release of our system independent routine collection
- for Pascal. This package includes routines in four major areas:
- - file handling (FileCtrl, FileSys)
- - keyboard handling (Keyboard)
- - mouse handling (Mouse)
- - full-screen video handling (Video)
- 2. Where to find documentation?
- -------------------------------
- Documentation is not available yet. However it is planned. If you need help
- feel free to ask on our public mailing lists.
- There are two mailing lists, one for users. To subscribe send a message to
- [email protected] containing one single line:
- subscribe fpk-pascal
- The other mailing list is for developers. To subscribe to this list, send a
- message to [email protected], containing:
- subscribe fpc-devel
- 3. FTP sites
- -------------
- This unit collection is available at the following FTP site:
- ftp://ftp.uni-freiburg.de/pub/pc/msdos/fpk-pascal/develop/
- 4. Installation
- ---------------
- * With FPK:
- compile the unit with FPK-Pascal using your favourite switches.
- ppc386 buildapi.pas
- will do the trick. After this, copy the resulting .ppu and .o files to
- your ppc lib directory. By default this is
- /usr/lib/ppc/<version-you-are-using>/linuxunits
- under Linux. Under DOS units are in \PP\LIB\
- * With BP
- compile the unit with Borland Pascal using the command:
- bpc /cd buildapi.pas for real target
- bpc /cp buildapi.pas for DPMI target
- bpc /cw buildapi.pas for Windows target
- you may want to rename filectrl.pp to filectrl.pas if you want BP to
- be able to access your source file more easily. Copy the resulting
- .TPU, .TPP, .TPW files to your \BP\UNITS directory. (or to a directory
- you created for add-on units, make sure that this directory is listed
- in the Unit directories dialog)
- * With Virtual Pascal/2
- * With Speed Pascal/2
- similar to the above ones, but since I don't have OS/2 installed right
- now, I don't know.
- 5. Copyright
- ------------
- This library is under the terms and conditions of the LGPL. See the enclosed
- file COPYING.LIB for details. The library is not available as a shared lib (yet)
- so it may cause licensing problems if you want to use it in a commercial project.
- This will change as soon as the lib becomes available as a shared library.
- 6. Troubleshooting
- ------------------
- Due to the bugs in the FPK compiler you may run into problems while compiling
- the API. For example when I try to compile a unit which lists SysCalls in the
- uses clause (in the implementation) part, the compiler always wants to compile
- SysCalls (even if I have it in the lib directory.) copying the units to your
- working directory helps. (you'll also need errno.inc and sysnr.inc)
