[lazarus] Problem compiling lazarus under new install of 1.0.7

[andrew johnson]

Umm according to current CVS, those lines are the lines which set the
Pen style parameters. Based on this I can only assume you have an older
version, or incorrect version of the gdk unit. Certain versions of GDK
had gdk_gc_set_dashes dash parameters in array of Char instead of Byte,
I believe up until 1.0.4. This was actually a problem I had noticed in
Win32 more than Linux. I would suggest getting the 1.0.7 gtk nightly. If
it is still an issue it is likely that something else is wrong. BTW
there is an older 1.0.7 version(september) available as a RPM from the
Lazarus FTP site, it should include all necessary units.

To test and see If I am right about the problems, change the problem
lines from :

       PS_DASH:       gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [4,4], 2);
       PS_DOT:        gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [2,2], 2);
       PS_DASHDOT:    gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [4,2,2,2,0], 4);
       PS_DASHDOTDOT: gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [4,2,2,2,2,2], 6);

TO:

       PS_DASH:       gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [#4,#4], 2);
       PS_DOT:        gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [#2,#2], 2);
       PS_DASHDOT:    gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [#4,#2,#2,#2,#0],4);
       PS_DASHDOTDOT: gdk_gc_set_dashes(GC, 0, [#4,#2,#2,#2,#2,#2],6);
