[prom]

I installed today Kylix 3 /D7 Delphi on Mandrake 10 community-version,
- no install problem
- i made an 'Hello World' program, and it works!
Attention: A have to disable the Debugger, after then it works.

best regards

Interestingly I have just installed on MDK 10 official and have
problems.

I can get Kylix to run, but the applications just hang when I try and
run them in the IDE and if I run from the command line I get

relocation error: ./Project1: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings

I am about to try and install the patch's and see what happens.

Peter.

The unofficial patches will not fix this.
The first issue is a integrated debugger problem (I do not have the source
code of Borland's Debugger, so I cannot fix it). The solution is to
deactivate the integrated debugger.
And the second issue is a library search path issue. Linux works other
then Windows. Linux first looks at the absolute path of a library and if
the file does not exist, or has a relative path, it looks in the
directories specified by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. At last
it look in the directories that are specified in the /etc/ld.conf file.
The "undefined symbol" error messages is printed because the BindHelp unit
does not fail when the shared object libborqt.so.6.9 could not be loaded
an proceeded. As a consequence the first function call failes and you get
the "undefined symbol" error message.
The solution for this issue is to write a start-script like:
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/here/is/the/libborqt/directory
./myapp $*
-----------------------------------
Another solution would be to use my QBindings unit
(http://www.kylix-patch.de.vu) and modify it for each project.
