I tried to install CodeTyphon (note:
not CodeTyphoon, an easy mistake to make when you have a hurricane in the area
) on a Debian system today, without much success.
The Install_SysLibraries_For_Ubuntu script ran fine on the Debian system. I did notice one of the SDL packages it called for had a different name under Debian. I installed that manually.
The instructions have you run the setup script from your home directory. That won't work, since the script expects to be run from the CodeTyhpon directory. The first time it ran all the way through it produced a bunch of errors, so I ran it again, dumping the output to a log file, all 3.5 MB of it. The log showed a missing gdb development library, so I installed it and ran the installation again.
This time the fp compiler built OK, but I never could get Lazarus to compile. The compiler spewed out over 100 lines of "/usr/local/bin/fpc: /usr/local/bin/fpc: cannot execute binary file."
Doing the install as a regular user (sudoed) and as root produced no difference.
I don't really have the time to dig through it all trying to figure out what is wrong, so I deleted what CodeTyphon had installed, then reinstalled Lazarus and fp from the Debian packages. I will forgo CodeTyphon for the time being .
