There's a discussion in the German Lazarus forum (http://www.lazarusforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11123) that the language settings of the IDE (Tools > Options > Environment > General > Language) is lost when a Laz trunk is updated by fpcupdeluxe.

I checked this with a fresh installation (Laz trunk & fpc trunk, created by fpcupdeluxe on Win10), set language to "Default (or english)", and updated by fpcupdeluxe), and in fact, the language is set back to "English".

I know from my daily work when I update Laz trunk via svn that this does not happen. So, is this caused by fpcupdeluxe?

[DonAlfredo]

This is true. And unwanted.

I made the necessary changes in the source:

A new (upcoming) release will contain these changes !
Thanks for reporting.

I've reported few UI issues in GH page of fpcupdeluxe, please see?

[DonAlfredo]

I have taken care of many of them already !
However, I did not yet release the latest changes.

I will wait for a few days more on an issue I raised in the bugtracker about cross-compiling from x64 towards i386 (float80).

Regardless of a response, I will release new fpcupdeluxe this Monday !

Hello, is there anybody here that has been able to run fpcdeluxe on kali linux??
tried running the linux version but it says no application associated with the file type.

[DonAlfredo]

Did you make fpcupdeluxe executable after download ?
Use chmod to add the executable permission !

Introducing fpcupdeluxe.
Still pre-mature, but ready to use in most cases.

lots of breakage ! takes ages to get anything working. though itz poss to get Laz working if you fight against fpcupdeluxe very very hard.

Works for me in Debian Jessie Linux 64 bit flawlessly.
Thou I've had to install subversion package additionally.
Thanks a lot!

I would also like to thank you DonAlfredo and everyone who contributed to this project.
needed to install git for cross-compilers (wasn't mentioned in the readme under linux section)

usually works nicely on first run on empty dir.

later runs, to install coponents into palette, sometimes recompilation problems.


so I just use online pack mangr

I would like to invite all users of fpcupdeluxe to switch over to the latest version.
https://github.com/newpascal/fpcupdeluxe/releases/latest

Besides many bugfixes and new features, it also collects some data. Which can be good or bad: its up to the user to decide !
The mORMot framework is used to accomplish this. In a special very light client mode for fpcupdeluxe itself.

The server that collects the data can be reached:
http://54.194.211.233:8880/root/getinfohtml
http://54.194.211.233:8880/root/getinfohtml?Distro=ubuntu
http://54.194.211.233:8880/root/getinfohtml?os=win32
http://54.194.211.233:8880/root/getinfohtml?showerrors=yes

Please note and important:
Data collection can be disabled. In setup+. See included picture.

In Lubuntu (17.10) linux binary not working directly because of  compiled for gtk2 but lubuntu using QT (I think).

I am downloading source codes compiling for qt after that I can use.

Is it possible to compile for QT too?

[DonAlfredo]

Sure. You can compile fpcupdeluxe yourself.

However, I will check Lubuntu and see if I can include binaries for Lubuntu too !
Is Lubuntu QT4 or QT5 ?
