Missing project option in pyscripter/SpTBXLib #2

Closed groehner closed 1 year ago

Sorry for placing this issue here, but issues aren't allowed at pyscripter/SpTBXLib

During installation of RAD Studio 11.3 Community Edition i got an error when installing the SpTBXLib packages. Compiling SpTBXLib.bpl gives: Can't load package SpTBXLib.bpl. The system can not find the stated file.

After adding .\$(Platform)\$(Config) in "Project options\Buildung\Delpi Compiler\Unit output directory" this error is fixed. Same for SpTBXLibDsgn.bpl

Looking at the installation instructions at https://github.com/SilverpointDev/sptbxlib you are supposed to:

Add the SpTBXLib 'Source' directory to Tools->Environment Options->Library->Library Path.

You need to do that for both x86 and x64 platforms.

I am not using the project files but use the Multiinstaller instead. Aren't you using the MultiInstaller for installing PyScripter dependencies? It saves a lot of time.

In a new installation it clones the relevant repositories and installs the dependencies. It automatically sets the search path as well.

When I want to update the dependencies:

Your work on GuiPy is just amazing. I will be looking into integrating some of the added stuff into PyScripter, if this is OK with you.

I see that you have added Qt support for GUI developement. Nice! By the way, have you looked into delphivcl and delphifmx? Would it be difficult to provide similar support to the Qt stuff?

I see that you have added Qt support for GUI developement. Nice! Qt is a more modern graphics library and easier to use than Tk/TTk

By the way, have you looked into delphivcl and delphifmx? Would it be difficult to provide similar support to the Qt stuff?

I think you need delphivcl to build a gui form with the help of delphi in python. But in python you have direct access to Qt. So i haven't got your point.

I also have a question: Teachers ask me if there is a Mac version of GuiPy because they have students with Macs at home. Do you think it would be possible to create a Mac version of GuiPy, or are there insurmountable obstacles?

You can install delphivcl/delphifmx with pip, just like you do with Qt.

I would very much like that, but it wouldn't be easy. It will have to be FMX and many of the components used including SynEdit are not available in FMX. And I have no FMX experience. It may be easier to convert the project to fpc+Lazarus instead.
