FPCUp FPC/Lazarus SVN installer/updater for Windows, Linux, soon OSX

[nomorelogic]

It is a really great tool!
I used it to set up 2 lazarus envorinmant on linux 64bit: 2.6 and development and all goes well.
Only one thing to note: in the second installation I used "lazlinkname=..." option to create an alternative link in desktop but this has not been created. Solved manually.

I would suggest to consider installation of some components ie: --components=Indy10,LazReport

[BigChimp]

@NoMoreLogic: the components can be installed using fpcup.ini. See the readme and the html filein the source directory for details. If you need more directives/macros, please let us know...
I get e.g. synapse, tiopf along with documentation etc.

Re lazlinkname: what version of fpcup are you using? If the precompiled version, the compilation date that is shown when running fpcup --help indicates the version.

Thanks,
BigChimp

[nomorelogic]

is a precompiled version, follow output of: fcpup --help

https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/fpcup

This program will download the FPC and Lazarus sources
from the source Subversion/SVN repositories,
compile, and install.
Result: you get a fresh, up-to-date Lazarus/FPC installation.

Hi logic,

You might want to try with the newest source code. That version does work with lazlinkname on my Windows version.
If it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll raise a bug and look into it.

Thanks,
BigChimp

[nomorelogic]

hi BigChimp
looking at https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/fpcup/downloads
I find that fpcup_linux_x64 reports same version I used few days ago (2012-03-11)

downloading sources at
https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/fpcup/src
I'll have the newest release?

thanks

[BigChimp]

That's right!

Thanks,

with this release I've got some "Info: Error running fpcup" errors (but none of these with precompiled binary) but lazarus starts

other strange messages are:
- binutils: I have binutils installed
- windres: not installed (need to install and retry? with precompiled binary this error was not raised)
- svn client: is installed (and fpcup correctly checkout all sources)
-option --lazlinkname="/home/username/Scrivania/lazarus_dev2" creates a link (both lazarus_dev2 and lazarus_dev2_Update) but in the following path: /home/username/home/username/Scrivania

If you need more info I'm here

... that's only possible troubleshooting steps. Not all of them will apply in all situations...
Yes, windres was added to the list; can be useful when compiling some projects/components... but probably not essential (if there are problems, you will get errors to do with resource compilation)

-option --lazlinkname="/home/username/Scrivania/lazarus_dev2" creates a link (both lazarus_dev2 and lazarus_dev2_Update) but in the following path: /home/username/home/username/Scrivania

IIRC, you can only specify the filename part of the link, not the full path.

... seems the installer is having trouble with tiopf... I'll have to look into that.
For now, you can disable tiopf in fpcup.ini, e.g. from:

Thanks calebs, seems like Lazarus compilation failed, but I will need more detail to see what's going on. Use fpcup --verbose to show more info.
Also, please be aware there's a known bug in current fpcup source right now that will lead to errors in building the 64 bit LCL, leading to a failure message. If using that, you could try the binary download version...

Thanks,
BigChimp

[calebs]

Oh thanks bigchimp i didn't see that there was problems with 64 bit version of windows... anyway i don't mind usind 32 bits lazarus... in fact, i think i'm using binaries of 32 bits.
I'll try with --cputarget=i386 to generate a 32 bits lazarus... or is different?
Im installing it on linux 32 bits right now.
I'll see what happens

[calebs]

No luck with --cputarget=i386 on win 7 x64...
trying now with --cputarget=i386 --ostarget=win32 --verbose...
where do i post the log if it doesn't works? it seems to be extensive...

[calebs]

No luck on debian x86 either...
runned "fpcup_linux_x86 --lazdir=/home/multisistema/lazarus-trunk"

[miquelmatas]

calebs,

i will try to install fpcup.exe now on my win7-64....

Cheers,
Miquel.

[BigChimp]

Oh thanks bigchimp i didn't see that there was problems with 64 bit version of windows... anyway i don't mind usind 32 bits lazarus... in fact, i think i'm using binaries of 32 bits.
I'll try with --cputarget=i386 to generate a 32 bits lazarus... or is different?
Im installing it on linux 32 bits right now.
I'll see what happens

The problems should only occur when running fpcup on Windows when compiling the x64 LCL...
If on Windows, rather than using --cputarget=i386, you should probably use --skip=crosswin32-64 (see fpcup --help, in the list of all available modules)... see the bug report there...

Edit: FYI, if you build fpcup on Windows with the 64 bit compiler, IIRC, you should get a totally 64 bit environment, not 32.
