Run Example files

[CatMasterDad]

I just copied and pasted to my new lazarus project and got error stating

Compile Project, Target: project1.exe: Exit code 1, Errors: 1
test.pas(8,56) Fatal: Cannot find uos used by test of the Project Inspector.
Codetools, Errors: 1
test.pas(8,59) Error: unit not found: uos

anyone have a clue?

Hello CatMasterDad and welcome to uos forum.

Can you give the code of your test project?

In the project options, did you add the path of the directory of /uos/src/?
(usually -Fu/path_of/uos/src/)


If no, you may copy all the files that are in /uos/src/ in the same directory as your project.

here is the only change that I have made to the default form

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
 begin
  uos_LoadLib( PortAudioFileName, nil, Mpg123FileName,  nil, nil, nil);
  // only PortAudio and Mpg123 are needed.
  uos_CreatePlayer( 0 );            
  // you may create how many players you want, from 0 to to what you computer can do...
  uos_AddIntoDevOut( 0 );            
  // Add Output with default parameters
  uos_AddFromFile( 0, 'MySong.mp3' );
  // Input from audio file
  // And let's play it...
  uos_Play(0);                        // Play the song...
end;
...
uos_free;
end;

This all that is in the "Unit Output Directory (-FU)"
lib\$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)

so now I just add

 -Fu/path_of/uos/src/

like
1. lib\$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS) -Fu/path_of/uos/src/
or
2. lib\$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS); -Fu/path_of/uos/src/

Hello.

Hum, I am not sure that OPM has the last source of uos.

Imho, the easier way is to download the source from here:
https://github.com/fredvs/uos/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

And unzip it in a directory of your choice.

Then, run Lazarus and in menu Project/Open_Project and select /directory_of_/uos-main/examples/simpleplayer.lpi

Edit it, compile it and run it.
It should be out-of-the-box.

ok just finished a full path file search at the Lazarus root directory to full every subdirectory use
 search pattern "*/uos/src/*" with 0 results
OOPs that's not windows folder branches, more like Linux/Unix
try once more with "*\uos\src\*"
and same results
nothing found 0 results
to conclude windows search found no such listing of any sort \uos\src\
to me that is saying that in might not be installed correctly

[CatMasterDad]

Yes it did run but it show several paths but i'm not sure what to  do with it.

You did mention of coping a directory.
I remember using Delphi 2006 enterprise with very much the same problems
so I created a directory called Global Units and put that in the directory search path. I remember I had to
be carful cause some time I would get the same name from different developers that would cause havoc.
Thank you again for all your help
