Identifier not found "TRawByteStringStream"

[migmam]

Hi!

I'm getting the following error when compiling "Identifier not found "TRawByteStringStream"

Hi! Which version of FreePascal are you using? This type exists in standard rtl in FreePascal. Weird

[migmam]

This is the version I'm using:
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.4+dfsg-18ubuntu2 [2018/08/29] for x86_64

Is there any valid reason why you are using an outdated version of FPC? Current stable FPC is 3.2.2.

Of course, I can try to add some hack to the code for backward compatibility of older versions of FPC. But You'll have to wait until I get home few days

Well, it's the version that is coming in my linux ubuntu (18.04). Knowing that it is just a problem of fpc version I will try to install a more updated version, no need backward compatibily. Thanks for your support!

Wow. I can see there is no office package for debian/ubuntu for the version you told me:

I'll think about a hack for backward compatibility.
As for getting a more recent version of FPC, and generally a convenient installation, I recommend using fpcupdeluxe to install Lazarus

So, I added defines for the outdated FPC to work. Try it now https://github.com/Al-Muhandis/fp-telegram/tree/deprecated-fpc. Message here if it helped, I will apply the changes to the main branch as well

Great!! It works like a charm! Thanks!!!

[Al-Muhandis]

So, then I will add to the main branch
