fpcup 3.1.1 Update

[DonAlfredo]

Can reproduce your problem.
Will update fpc(laz)up shortly !

[rvk]

I also see fpclazup tries to compile the fpcbootstrap 2.6 with a ppc version 3.0.0 (located in fpcbootstrap). This also results in an error (previous version can't be compiled with later versions).

(I got a TEXTREC error somewhere, don't have the logs at the moment)

[DonAlfredo]

You're right.
Fixed. Updated.
Please test.

Works now for fpclaz_stable 32bit Windows.

Just curious... are you using a bootstrap FPC 3.0.0 now to compile FPC 3.0.0 stable in 32bit (Windows) ?

Shouldn't FPC always be compiled by an earlier version or is compiling with the same version allowed/supported ?

Hi

running mysettings-fpcup-trunklaz

Code: [Select]

C:\fpcupsept2016\bin\i386-win32>fpcup --inifile=mysettings.ini --inisection=TrunkLaz
Fpcup, a FPC downloader/updater/installer
Original by BigChimp: https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/fpcup
This version: https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/Reiniero-fpcup

Fpcup will download the FPC sources
from the source SVN repositories, and compile, and install.
Result: you get a fresh, up-to-date FPC installation.

Version: based on commit fpcup001 (20150210)
Build date: 2016/09/30 08:57:28
Compiled for CPU: i386 on win32

@rvk

The original fpcup used the most recent bootstrap compiler available online. And because of this, OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK was often needed, due to wrong bootstrap versions.

Fpc(laz)up now uses the FPC makefile itself to determine the correct bootstrap compiler. E.g. the makefile of 3.0.0 contains:

REQUIREDVERSION=2.6.4
# Accept 3.0.0, without requiring to using OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1
# 3.0.0 should become REQUIREDVERSION after 3.0.0 final release
# and 2.6.4 should be moved to REQUIREDVERSION2
REQUIREDVERSION2=3.0.0

This means both 2.6.4 and 3.0.0 are  considered ok.
If this info is not available, fpc(laz)up  follows the normal  rules as you already mentioned.

@josh:
I will investigate.
But if you want something with Lazarus (TrunkLaz), you need fpclazup !

Hi!

I'd like this:

Lazarus x64 (+x86 crosscompile) stable + fixes
with
fpc stable + fixes

What is the right command line of this?

[DonAlfredo]

Hmmm ... you need to supply more info.

System. Win ? Linux ? OSX ?

Combi's ?
Laz-stable+FPC-stable.
Laz-fixes+FPC-fixes.

Or also ?
Laz-stable+FPC-fixes.
Laz-fixes+FPC-stable.

[totya]

Hi!

OS is Windows.

I think all users wanted this, and only this - for stable environment.

Lazarus x64 stable + fixes (+ x86 crosscompile)
and
fpc stable (that version, which shipped it with Lazarus) + fixes (+ x86 crosscompile)

[DonAlfredo]

Still not clear ... but however.
It is ill-adviced to use a Lazarus 64bit on Windows.
Standard practise is to use 32bit Lazarus and cross-compile / debug your app towards 64bit.

But again, here you go:

Put your fpclazup.exe somewhere on your system (lets propose in c:\fpclazup). Get a command prompt inside this dir. Run:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. fpclazup.exe --installdir="c:\FPCLAZStable" --fpcURL="stable" --lazURL="stable" --verbose --getfullrepo

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. fpclazup.exe --installdir="c:\FPCLAZFixes" --fpcURL="fixes" --lazURL="fixes" --verbose --getfullrepo

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. fpclazup.exe --installdir="c:\FPCLAZTrunk" --fpcURL="trunk" --lazURL="trunk" --verbose --getfullrepo

However, I prefer using batchfiles as available in the bin-dir of fpcup:

Hi!

Thanks for the answer!

Yeah, but I want to help for you, because x86 version of your app never worked correctly, I always got crash when I tried it, and I wrote it many times, for example here: http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,27211.msg222830.html#msg222830

Okay, I need all the three lines what you wrote step by step?

[DonAlfredo]

The first line will give you FPC stable with Lazarus stable and a link on your desktop to start this combi.
The second line will give you FPC fixes with Lazarus fixes and a link on your desktop to start this combi.
The third line will give you FPC trunk with Lazarus trunk and a link on your desktop to start this combi.

Occasionally, I see the error you have reported. I think it has to do with Windows not liking long running processes that block.
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce in such a way that I can debug.
But it does no harm.

[totya]

Thanks fo these informations again!

But it does no harm.

When the error messages window appear, update process paused, it isn't good game pressing always the OK button to continue.

I will try the second line now...

I got many error messages:

and so on...

[DonAlfredo]

Seems that the svn website of FPC is very hard to reach at the moment.
So, the downloads will not succeed.

Just retry ...
Or check manually:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_3_0_0/install/binw32/

[totya]

Hi!

Few restart is failed too... but when I download manually with TortoiseSVN (svn update), these files succesfully downloaded immediately without any problem, so I think something wrong with your code.

Edit:
I got some error messages too, see attached file.
