Error when installing new packages

[dailton]

Hi Everybody,

Although a long journey with Pascal / Delphi I’m starting with Lazarus. My first need was to assemble a library of routines and components that come from Delphi to be used in multiple projects in Lazarus, from now on. My question is this: I needed some time ago to prepare Lazarus 0.9.30/2.4.2 cross platform to generate a DLL X64 (StorecProc external X64 for Oracle 10g). I found an article that helped me to make and even worked (http://lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php ... 688.0; WAP2). After that, every time I try to install any package the cross compile x64 is invoked and I do not know how to turn it off because I just want to install in x32. I have already uninstalled and removed the Lazarus directory and then reinstalled but every time I try to install a new one the cross compiler package is called and gives error (compiling the package to work but does not install).

Does anyone have any idea what´s going on?

Thanks in advance

Hi EveryBody,

For example, I tried to install ODAC Package and the cross compiler was invoked (see yellow text).

So the point is: how to turn off the x64 compiler. I've already removed Lazurus and its Directory without success. Is there any register key? I´m using W7 Sp1 x32. At the moment, ODAC 7.20 do not handle x64 environment but I just want to install x32.

Thanks in advance

So the point is: how to turn off the x64 compiler.

Check target CPU and OS everywhere, notably compiler option and configure build lazarus.

I've already removed Lazurus and its Directory without success. Is there any register key?

No use if the configuration file still exists, Lazarus installation typically writes nothing to registry.

Thanks,

I made some changes in the section Configure Build Lazarus and could advance. Now a new problem arose in attempting to install the ODAC and recompiling the IDE:

C:\lazarus\components\codetools\ctxmlfixfragment.pas(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit LazarusPackageIntf used by CodeTools

Any idea?

Regards,

Clean the .o and .ppu first, probably as a result of previous compilation

[dailton]

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't understand. Which ones to delete? *.o and *.ppu

Please see the following result:

In the configure build lazarus, check clean all, but set everything to none. That would only clean without compiling anything.

[dailton]

Hi Leledumbo,

I did the "clean all" as you mentioned but when I tried to install ODAC Package again the same error appeared:

C:\lazarus\components\codetools\ctxmlfixfragment.pas(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit LazarusPackageIntf used by CodeTools

Any Package that I try to install the same error happens.

Thanks

[Leledumbo]

I mean, after that clean all, recompile. Try recompiling whole IDE, I'm not sure LazarusPackageIntf gets rebuild just by recompiling LCL.

[dailton]

Hi,

Back again, i recompile the IDE and i've got the message:

"Clean Lazarus Source" completed
C:\lazarus\lcl\interfaces\win32\win32int.pp(27,26) Warning: User defined: Fix implicit pointer conversions
C:\lazarus\lcl\interfaces\win32\win32proc.pp(934,2) Note: User defined: Belongs in Win32WSForms, but is needed in windowproc
"LCL" completed

After trying to install ODAC i've got the same error too:

C:\lazarus\components\codetools\ctxmlfixfragment.pas(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit LazarusPackageIntf used by CodeTools

What I'm about to do is:

1) Uninstall Lazarus
2) Remove the Directory manually
3) Download again.
4) Reinstall

What do you think?

Thanks a lot.

[Leledumbo]

What if you right click and "copy all and hidden messages"? It's too weird, unless there's a unit name conflict in the package with the one from rtl/fcl/lcl.

[dailton]

Doing what you suggested step by step:

1) Menu Package
2) Open Package file (*.lpk)
3) I selected the file 'dclodac10.lpk'
4) Click Install

Leledumbo,

Solved. I removed the folder located at c:\Users\<myusername>\lazarus and reinstalled everything. The problem disappeared. Something was persisted in my profile that was causing the problem.

Thank you very much
