cannot link lua52
« on: October 08, 2016, 09:59:06 pm »
Hi,
I got new Raspberry Pi3 and wanted to compile my old program using Lazarus.

I got this error from linker:

/usr/bin/ld.bfd: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -llua52
svlad.lpr(22) Error: Error while linking
svlad.lpr(22) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
ERROR: failed compiling of project /home/pi/Desktop/severak/svlad2/svlad.lpi


Note that I use lua52.pas file, which is located in same folder as other program files. This file is just a wrapper of lua5.2 DLL/SO lib, which seems to be installed in system.

On Windows, compilation just works.

Look at my source code here, if you need it: https://github.com/severak/svlad2

Do you have a file called liblua52.so  ?

It seems there is a symlink to it from /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf.

Does that directory exist in linker search path?

Raspbian jessie has lua50 and lua51, not lua52. You will explicitly have to install it.
sudo apt-get lua5.2 lua5.2-dev
Note the dot.
After that you have the proper libs

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.

Also check that the library name in lua52.pas is liblua5.2.so and not liblua52.so In my version it was wrong.
I got that here: https://github.com/severak/svlad2/blob/master/lua52.pas so it is your own file....

After that it compiles ;) Nice, btw

Tnx for the code. At some point I plan to use it!
Glad to be of help.
