can not find LibC (moduleload)
« on: December 28, 2017, 09:12:00 am »
I use Lazarus 1.8 in SuseLinux 42.3 64 bits  und try to compile the Demo Openglcontrol. wich comes with Lazarus.
I get a complain from Moduleloader "Can not find LIBC"
The code  part in the Moduloader is
uses
{$ifdef Linux}
  Types,
  Libc;
{$else} 
I can not fid this Libc anywhere. Cansamone give me a hint? Thanks

I am not sure the libc unit is necessary(it is deprecated) but the libc llibrary it is in /packages/libc/ and the unit libc is in /packages/libc/src/libc.pp. It is 32 bit only and only i386.

http://wiki.freepascal.org/libc_unit

You should use the unix and linux units instead. (I think at least somethink like baseunix, baselinux , cthreads);

Specialize a type, not a var.

Thanks Thaddy.
No wonder  Lazarus does not find the library.
Is there a way to compile  the Demo Openglcontrol. which comes with Lazarus (Linux64bit). If there is none I wonder why they ship this demo in the package at all.Perhaps to discourage newbies like me

Well its author is on this forum. But are you sure you are using Laz 1.8 +FPC 3.0.4?
If the demo indeed relies on libc, that is easy to fix. It can also be considered a bug if it still is in Laz 1.8.

I tested the OpenGL demo which comes along with the package in Linux Mint/gtk2, and it is running fine (32 bit, though).

I wonder where this module loader is coming from. Seeking through the entire Lazarus/fpc source tree, there is only one moduleloader.pas, and this is in (fpc)\packages\winunits-jedi\src\ModuleLoader.pas. Strange...

Because jedi units historically supports Kylix? Anyway, libc (the unit) should not turn up in demo code that is part of the distribution.. OpenGL is cross-platform.

My guess is that your compiler finds some third party GL unit that isn't terribly well ported to Free Pascal instead of the default freepascal one.

Go to the example form, and ctrl-click the gl unit, and see what it loads.

Dear Markov
I explain what I have done
1) downloaded  the compiled Lazarus1.8 from Opensuse with YAST
2) Installed it also with Yast
3) copied  the Demo programs out to my Home directory, changed the Ownership and compiled it
When I try to compile Openglecontrol Lazarus refuses  The error rises in the Moduleloader

  Added Calling convention to Win32 functions just in case.

  Revision 1.3  2004/02/14 22:36:29  savage
  Fixed inconsistencies of using LoadLibrary and LoadModule.
  Now all units make use of LoadModule rather than LoadLibrary and other dynamic proc procedures.

  Revision 1.2  2004/02/14 00:23:39  savage
  As UNIX is defined in jedi-sdl.inc this will be used to check linux compatability as well. Units have been changed to reflect this change.

  Revision 1.1  2004/02/14 00:04:50  savage
  dllfuncs conflicts with FreePascal so it has been renamed back to the moduleloader.pas

That was not the question. The question was which opengl (or whatever) unit that you use that USES moduleloader.

Moduleloader is an old 2000s unit only for some jedi projects. Thus no normal FPC sourcecode uses it, except it is very old legacy.

I suspect you have some jedi unit in your search path that directly or indirectly ends up in module loader.

Dear markov
I have no idea why Lazarus seeks Modulloader and LIbc .I have no such legacy units that I can find. Perhaps you could give some hints  how to seek them
Where they came from I can not undertand
Thanks again

I already did in my first post:

Dear markov
Thaks to your hints I have cound the following:
GL calls moduleloader.pas

interface

{$I jedi-sdl.inc}

uses
{$IFDEF __GPC__}
  system,
  gpc,
{$ENDIF}

{$IFDEF WIN32}
  Windows,
{$ENDIF}
  moduleloader;

moduleloader calls LibC

aprox at  position 190

{$IFDEF Unix}
uses
{$ifdef Linux}
  Types,
  Libc;
{$else}
  dl,
  Types,
  Baseunix,
  Unix;
{$endif}     

Furthermore, there exits a libc.so  at /usr/lib64/libc.so
How it went there I do not know
I could not find out where moduleloader.pas is located

Thanks for your time

libc.so has nothing to do with libc.pp: libc.so contains the C standard library code. Don't confuse them.
FPC does not usually need libc.so.

Oh and did you give us Laz and FPC version yet?

Free Pascal's gl unit does not . So where is that "gl" coming from? If you hover above the tab you can see the path.

The name of the include file seems to indicate your GL unit is packaged with some "jedi-sdl" package.
