Crash IDE...
« on: September 22, 2018, 06:49:37 pm »
Hello,

Version 1.7
Menu Tools/Options.
When the window opens increase the window size by clicking and dragging the top of the window until Editor/Display branch and leafs are visible.
Click on "Markup and Matches", see image, followed by an AV.

As an aside, that the options window does not save and restore its position on close and open is...a minor...annoyance.

Ciao,

Mark

Version 1.7

Version 1.7 is very old developing/debugging version and perhaps you found old bug which perhaps fixed long time ago.
Update Lazarus to last release 1.8.4.

Read about version numbers:

Hello,

>Update Lazarus to last release 1.8.4.

As a noob, to this environment I would be happy to use the latest version. I had tremendous trouble getting what I have installed.

Until I found a script from https://www.getlazarus.org/setup/ that worked every other attempt failed.

Can you point me at some working directions to update Lazarus?
I am using Debian 32 bit.

Thanks,

Mark

On linux I usually download fpc and use the install script that is inside the archive.
Make sure you have binutils (or similar) installed.
Then I download the Lazarus sources (easiest done using svn).
I have them in ~/devel/lazarus
Then simply do (assuming this folder layout)
Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]
  1. cd ~/devel/lazarus
  2. make bigide OPT="-gl"
  3.  

Then download the sources for the fpc version you use and unpack them somewhere.
Lazarus needs to know where these are (it'll ask you).

I prefer having Lazarus in my home directory, so I have write access to the entire source.
If you don't need that, you can put is somewhere "system wide".

Thanks for the responses.

While I have enjoyed porting this program the constant battles are getting old. Not sure how I got 1.8.4 installed, I  did, but I cannot get it to show up in the applications list after following all directions to move/copy the .desktop file.

Now I cannot get SdpoSerial installed in 1.8.4, error is it cannot find any needed files.

So I will remove everything fpc/lazarus related and attempt again.

Perhaps Gnome is the wrong desktop manager?

[UPDATE]
Remove everything fpc/lazarus I could find and got both installed again. Try the crash issue and it did not fail, excellent. Not to get the serial component installed.

[UPDATE 2]
JOY! I am back up and running and the porting can continue. Other than the problem I posted in the installation forum all is well.
