Build CudaText from source

[ghost]

What's next? Following this guide (https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText#How_to_compile_CudaText), I have working binary under bin. My question is this binary will work full featured the same as the zip distribution or not? Because there is only the binary there, no other files I usually see go together with CudaText on a zip distribution. If it's not, how to make a zip distribution. Thank you.

My question is this binary will work full featured the same as the zip distribution or not?

yes. if you put it near the data files.

i compile Cud so binary goes into dir 'app' (see in github) near data files.

So do not use the binary under bin but use the binary on CudaText_up/src/CudaText/app?

On more question, the -ws flag seems to be not implemented isn't it? Through out the script, I see no usage of it. I tried to pass -ws qt5 but it doesn't work, the build failed quickly. I want qt5 based not gtk2.

seems yes.

I tried to pass -ws qt5 but it doesn't work, the build failed quickly.

what error?

what error?

So much details were printed, I can only skim Fatal: (10022) Can't find unit AllLCLIntfUnits used by LCL

Update: I'm not using fpcupdeluxe but install from the deb for Linux directly from lazarus.

this means some Laz paths are not configured ok. not app error.

I don't think so. I think the script doesn't implement -ws flag yet. The ws value has no usage through out the script other than for setting output dir name. I tried to build Lazarus itself (from Lazarus) with Qt5 and it worked.

my XP. I run cudaup compiling. it failed with 1 error in ATSynedit:

/home/user/cuda/cudatext_up/src/ATSynEdit/atsynedit/atsynedit.pas(8671,9) Error: (5000) Identifier not found "IM_Context_Set_Cursor_Pos"

The src near the line 8671 tells:

        IM_Context_Set_Cursor_Pos(Caret.CoordX,Caret.CoordY+TextCharSize.Y);
        // if symbol IM_Context_Set_Cursor_Pos cannot be compiled, you need to open IDE dialog
        // "Tools / Configure 'Build Lazarus'", and there enable the define: WITH_GTK2_IM;
        // then recompile the IDE.  

so do it.

I made the ATSynedit fix for that error. now it must be OK, test.

--ws key works. same as -w.

 ./cudaup.sh -l /home/user/fpcupdeluxe2/fpcupdeluxe/lazarus -m -w qt5

I had to add this info to wiki in 'how to compile cudatext' part,

'''GTK2 error on ATSynEdit compiling regarding IME.'''

To fix this error, edit the file atsynedit/atsynedit_package.lpk and remove this block there:

      <Other>
        <CustomOptions Value="-dGTK2_IME_CODE"/>
        <OtherDefines Count="1">
          <Define0 Value="GTK2_IME_CODE"/>
        </OtherDefines>
      </Other>
