Linker errors
« on: May 22, 2017, 06:29:01 pm »
Hi,

I'm using FP 3.0.2 on a Linux 32 bit system (Debian based distro) and am getting errors when trying to compile a program which calls the ptcgraph unit, which I found out about on the Wiki (http://wiki.freepascal.org/ptc). They are:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86dga

I'm pretty new to Linux but assume these are telling me that I'm missing some libraries. I know how to use apt-get but what are the exact names of the libraries? Google hasn't been much help. Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for being such a noob.  :D

For Linux users, I suggest you to use Synaptic Package Manager. It will help you search and install libraries easily.

I checked my Ubuntu Mate using Synaptic and I found I have these installed (by default):

- libxxf86vm-dev
- libxxf86vm1
- libxxf86vm1: 386
