fpcup stopped updating

[elidorio]

Hello BigChimp,

I am using fpcup and my copy stopped updating.
Stopped working.: 46089, I'm using the 9/9/2014 version.
What may be happening?

Now, when I try to compile the Lazarus appears the message: Compiling package FCL 1.0.1: Exit code 1, Errors: 1
registerfcl.pas (45.31) Fatal: Cannot find unit db used by RegisterFCL of package FCL.

Might not be fpcup.  I'm afraid I don't have access to SVN right now, but this might be an issue with the latest trunk version.  People are usually pretty quick at fixes any issues just checked in, so try again in an hour...
If it isn't a trunk version, then I don't know sorry...

[BigChimp]

Sorry, I can't help you as you didn't follow the troubleshooting steps
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpcup#Troubleshooting
and provide the requested info in
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpcup#Support_and_bug_reporting

It isn't the first time I asked you that, is it?

Also, Mike is right as usual.

[elidorio]

I did all the procedures, as have been suggested, including ja even erased all files and it still doesn't work.

Please check log for details. Possible troubleshooting steps:
- run again with --verbose and check for make, lazbuild errors etc.
- if compiling Lazarus, make sure your lhelp is closed.
- try removing all intermediate files by running fpcup with the --clean option
  and/or manually deleting all *.ppu/*.a/*.o followed by svn up
- if that does not work: use the --uninstall option to remove all files
  including your FPC and Lazarus directories
- remove the files in the bootstrap directory. fpcup will redownload if required
.

So where is the --verbose log as requested in the instructions?
Never mind.

Probably you or something else messed up the svn database or info in that directory, or you tried to check out another fpc version than the one in the directory.

Delete the directory and run fpcup again.

[elidorio]

Removed all files and folders and tried downloading again and the same problem occurred. Follow the log.

That's not enough information. Please reread those links I gave you. If language is a problem, could you ask somebody to translate it into your language?

Anyway, I'm getting even less motivated to help you than I was at the beginning (having had experiences with your way of providing information when you are having problems).

I'm fed up with begging people to follow the troubleshooting steps and provide log info.

I would suggest that you look at the log output and figure out what is causing the problem (internet connection, svn, fpc source itself, fpcup,...) yourself, or just stop using fpcup and use svn/make/lazbuild manually.

Alternatively, perhaps somebody else is willing to help you with your fpcup problems.

elidorio, Could you use fpcupgui.exe to make a compile run and make sure you check Verbose before hitting "Run fpcup".

After that you should look in fpcup.log and you'll see a line like:
[2014-09-15 11:04:54.903 Info] Verbose output saved to C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\Temp\TMPxxxxx.tmp

Please post both files here (fpcup.log and TMPxxxxx.tmp).

I'm also having problems on one of my machine. I get an error on one of my machines:
[2014-09-15 11:08:09.866 Info] 'doskey' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm almost positive that's a problem with my machine-config (which is shared with a Delphi development environment) because fpcup.exe works perfectly on my home-machine (and in a clean VM). (I'm still investigating that one)

Hello rvk,

Not too keen on messing with it, let it go.
Thank you
