I am ready to test this out, but I just want to mention something about the snapshots pages.

The main snapshot page appears to be this on - or is the one for testing?:  http://freepascal.dfmk.hu/test/lazarus/.
Because the files are labelled it would appear to be the 'proper' version.

There is this other one:ftp://freepascal.dfmk.hu/pub/lazarus/snapshots/ - which displays links without descriptions,, but has a number of 1.0.9 series snapshots.

Then finally there is http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.0_fixes_branch which lists the fixes which have been merged.

There are no 1.0.9 series on the main snapshots page at  http://freepascal.dfmk.hu/test/lazarus/. Does that mean that the 1.0.9 files at ftp://freepascal.dfmk.hu/pub/lazarus/snapshots/ are 'use at your own risk' snapshots, ie there is no official 1.0.8 fixes version until there is an announcement, or are they safe to use?


All you need to do is
- install 1.0.6
- then 1.0.8 in the same location, without uninstall
- now you have both fpc directories
- go to the options, change the fpc, fpc source and make path
- rebuild lazarus

Both snapshots pages are "use at your own risk"

Sometimes one of the pages get stuck, until someone has time to find out why and fix the issue.

* snapshot is anything that ends in an ODD digit 1.1 / 1.07 / 1.0.9
* release ends in an even digit 1.0 / 1.0.8

1.0.8 is on sourceforge. See the download link.

I am giving your suggestion a go and the first message I get is

Quote
PPU Loading M:\Lazarus\Binaries\1080_260_RELEASE\lcl\units\i386-win32\win32\interfaces.ppu
PPU Invalid Version 135
lazarus.pp(0,0) Fatal: Can not find Interfaces used by Lazarus, ppu=..\lcl\units\i386-win32\win32\interfaces.ppu, package LCL

Is it safe to delete all the ppus, or are there some specific ones I should avoid?

Would it be better to start all over again this time, deleting all the directories in the 1.0.6 installation except the fpc directory, before installing the 1.0.8 there?

All except the ones in the fpc directory.

It is only the fpc dir you want to keep from the 1.0.6, all else is not needed, and comes with 1.0.8

Note: you can even move/rename the fpc dir. But then you must find the fpc.cfg, and corret all the path names inside


Strange though. If you do a "clean all" build, it should have found the pas and recompiled it.

That should be fine too.

I did the 'Clean All' build and it worked perfectly. In hindsight I should have thought of it.
Thanks  :)
A question I want to ask - Does the Lazarus installation ever affect the fpc installation? Can different Lazarus build with different revisions etc use the same FPC so long as they don't touch the FPC files in a different way?

I am quite used to every Lazarus build using its own separate FPC.

I would prefer to share the FPC installation among my fpcup build.

You can have as many Lazarus as you want, that all use the same fpc.

I have my fpc installed separately in c:\fpc\2.x.y\  (adjust fpc.cfg) and point Lazarus there.

I am always wary of upgrading my lazarus. It never seems straightforward but decided to bite the bullet.

I had Lazarus 1.0.6, fpc 2.6.0 and fpc-src 2.6.0 installed on LinuxMint (Debian). IIRC I installed these from deb packages downloaded from sourceforge.

I downloaded and installed fpc-src 2.6.2, fpc 2.6.2 and Lazarus 1.0.8 in that order.

Now when I start lazarus I get the "Configure Lazarus IDE" dialogue asking me to indicate the right sources directory. The dialogue has titlebar "Welcome to Lazarus IDE 1.0.6", so obxiously its executing the wrong startlazarus although the splash for Lazarus 1.0.8 appears briefly.

if I leave the /usr/share/lazarus/1.0.8 it complains and continues loading lazarus 1.0.6

Please explain what is going on. It is all very confusing.

Uninstall the old revisions and they will not be run.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

What I did was to run lazarus-ide and rebuild the ide

Now startlazarus runs fine.

Perhaps the deb installation should do this on its own.
