Please forgive me in case this issue does not absolutely fit here. I deal with it as installation problem. I'm also an inexperienced Linux user.
I work on Delphi v 6.0. I need to port my main project to Linux and then to Apple Mac. I found Lazarus is the proper environment to help me do this. So, I downloaded and installed Lazarus 0.9.8 on Windows. Before starting porting, I decided to develop a test application in order to test Windows-Linux compatibility. It is a simple one, a TDBF with a DBGRID to display data.
Then I installed Lazarus from debian package available at packages.debian.org using Synapic. This version is 0.9.2. I had several problems opening Windows sample project. I finally got to open it but had problems while compiling, especially on TDBF component. Under Linux, properties such as FilePath or FilePathFull produce error "identifier idents no member FILEPATH".
Thinking that this could be a versions issue (0.9.8 versus 0.9.2), I tried to find another newer debian package but had no luck. Then I tought to download sources and compile version 2.0. following package's instructions for compiling (make clean all) I get error:
Compiling lcltype.pp
lclproc.pas(604,15) Error: Identifier not found "ExceptFrameCount"
lclproc.pas(605,11) Error: Identifier not found "ExceptFrames"
lclproc.pas(1955) Fatal: There were 2 errors compiling module, stopping
make[1]: *** [alllclunits.ppu] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/panos/tools/lazarus/lcl'
make: *** [lcl] Error 2
Can anyone help on getting latest Lazarus working on Linux with full compatibility to Windows? Is anywhere a newer .deb package available?
Linux is: Knoppix
Any further information needed? Please just ask.
Thanks in advance,
