Fpcupdeluxe

Great!  Thanks @DonAlfredo!  I'll give it a shot shortly.

Success!  I have Lazarus (trunk) up and running on Odroid C2    It failed when I tried it on the Pine A64, but so did the first attempt on the Odroid, so I'm trying again.

Is there a trick to getting it to work on the Raspberry Pi 3?  I know others have made it work but I've been unable to, although it's been a few days since I tried.  I used the arm version of fpcupdeluxe.

Thanks!

About RPi3: you need to give me more info to be able to help you !

[criageek]

@DonAlfredo - ok...here is the bottom of the log file from last night's attempt:

On a side note, I have successfully installed NewPascal on a laptop running Ubuntu 16.10 and installed cross-compilers for Win32, Win64, and aarch64-linux.  I was able to build an aarch64 binary (after entering the extra linking defines in the lpr file) that ran successfully on both the Odroid C2 and the Pine A64.  Although I still can't get Lazarus installed on the Pine A64.  I'll save that problem until I get the Pi3 running.

Thanks!

Do you have binutils and other required packages installed ?

[criageek]

@DonAlfredo:  Yes, I ran the following command and it says all are the latest version:

sudo aptitude install make binutils build-essential gdb subversion zip unzip libx11-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev

[DonAlfredo]

Ok. Got it working on RPi3 with Ubuntu !
New version: https://github.com/newpascal/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/v1.2.0c/fpcupdeluxe-arm-linux

Please take note: for Lazarus, you need lots of memory.
So, make a swapfile before running fcupdeluxe.

[de_jean_7777]

I used fpcupdeluxe 1.2.0.c. Lazarus failed to build because fpc.sh returned an error.

Illegal parameter: llegal parameter: Thread/6.3.1

Commenting this out from fpc.cfg allowed to build lazarus successfully (it did error out somewhere near the end).  This is on Fedora 25 64-bit. Hope it helps someone.

[criageek]

Thanks @DonAlfredo!  Just loaded up trunk on the Raspberry Pi 3    Tomorrow I'll try again on the Pine A64.  If it fails I'll post the results, but I know it's a bit of an oddball, so won't expect you to spend a bunch of time on it

[DonAlfredo]

@criageek
Glad that it worked for you ! Hope it will also work on the Pine64.
I myself am waiting for the C.H.I.P. board: it has eMMC (NAND) ... much better lifetime than SD.
(I am running my Odroid also from eMMC)

@de_jean_7777
Thanks for reporting.
This error has been reported before. And has been filed under Cosmic Ray Errors (CRE): no luck whatsoever in finding the cause and/or reproducing the error ... ;-(

[criageek]

@DonAlfredo - It still doesn't work on the Pine A64  .  The bottom part of the log is posted below...any ideas?  The last line of the log is line number 11497, so it gets quite a ways into before failing.

Where did you get your eMMC card?  When I did a little research it seemed like they were quite expensive.

Does adding more swap help ?

I ordered eMMC 8GB together with C2.
Not cheap but very much better for long term reliability.

[criageek]

Success!  I know I created a swap file on the Pine A64, but apparently I did something wrong because it had no swap file.  Once I created a 1gb swap file, Lazarus trunk installed perfectly!

So now I have Lazarus up and running on Raspberry Pi 2, Raspberry Pi 3, Odroid C2, Pine A64, Windows 10, and Ubuntu 16.10.

Thanks again @DonAlfredo...I appreciate all your help

You're welcome.

But stay tuned.
I am now working on out-of-the-box cross-compiling from Windows towards Darwin i386 and x86_64.
I saw an announcement on the Delphi list about Darwin cross-compiling.

At the moment, all fpcupdeluxe Mac binaries are already made by cross-compiling on my Win10 PC. But the setup is not that easy. So today, I hope to release a new fpcupdeluxe version that will make this as easy as all other cross-compilers.

Good News!  The oxcross method stopped working some editions ago.
I look forward to the upcoming release.
