fpcup 3.1.1 Update

[Thaddy]

Here's another one
IF you test than use THE LAST version.
Otherwise you maybe accusing the people who are involved in this project of something that is already solved.

Plz: give an example that reflects the current state, name a version, your platform, etc.

Not very helpful.

As I already wrote:

"The context is: fpclazup-x86_64-linux, based on commit fpcup016 (20170106) Build date: 2017/01/08 10:44:55 Compiled for CPU: x86_64 on linux, downloaded yesterday." (I do suppose that *is* the most recent version available.)

Explicitely added for completeness: I'm running Debian Linux 8 (Jessie) 64bit, with no fpc or lazarus distro's package installed.


And I'm far from accusing anyone for anything, I just asked for a little help (explanation) what the phrase "error executing sequence suggestedpackages; line: 5, param: suggestedpackages" means, especially "line: 5", as it is surely not the line count of the ini-file. Sorry, too, for my imperfect English - I'm not a native speaker nor a developer nor computer scientist.

In other words: When getting the message stressed out in bold, then what line in fpclazup.ini is worthwile to comment, or what else can be done to track down what goes wrong?

[DonAlfredo]

Mmm, I do not know what went wrong with your install.
But, to be sure, I have released a new version of fpc(laz)up.

https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/Reiniero-fpcup/releases/latest

I just ran a test on my Linux x86_64 Mint, with success.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ./fpclazup-x86_64-linux --fpcURL=trunk --lazURL=trunk

In the past, there were some problems with the help.

Also consider using fpcupdeluxe, a GUI installer based on fpc(laz)up:

First of all, thanks a lot,  DonAlfredo!

I just tried again, on another machine, it's also Debian GNU/Linux 8 64 bit (4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.2-2~bpo8+1 (2017-01-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux).

I ran (as I'd like to install that and as fpclazup itself suggests), with a freshly downloaded fpclazup-x86_64-linux;

 ./fpclazup-x86_64-linux  --lazURL=trunk

No luck for me, again this "error executing sequence suggestedpackage" thing, which I don't understand in deeper detail.

~/development/lazarus is present, lazbuild too, but no lazarus and startlazarus.

I won't really believe it could be a distro specific thing, but do you? If so, is there any case against running ./fpclazup-x86_64-linux on a virtual machine running mint and then just copy ~/development/lazarus to my $HOME?

[DonAlfredo]

Looks like the help does it again !

Again, I would like to ask you to try do do the same as I did:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ./fpclazup-x86_64-linux --fpcURL=trunk --lazURL=trunk --installdir=mycleanandemptyandnewinstalldir

This is important, due to other installs floating around and maybe spoiling things.
And to have an idea about the error while we are trying to reproduce !

OK, I have started exactly

Code: HTML5  [Select][+][-]

1. ./fpclazup-x86_64-linux --fpcURL=trunk --lazURL=trunk --installdir=mycleanandemptyandnewinstalldir

157. Please check log for details. Possible troubleshooting steps:
158. First action :
159. Run fpcup again with --verbose and check for make, lazbuild errors etc.
160. Run fpcup again also in case of incomple download due to SVN errors.
161.  
162. - make sure there's a valid SVN executable in your path.
163. - make sure the GNU binutils (make etc), windres, subversion client are installed
164.  e.g. on Debian/Ubuntu: aptitude install build-essential mingw32-binutils subversion
165.  ln -s /usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-windres /usr/bin/windres
166.  see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Resources#Checking_you_have_windres
167. If that does not work ... last resort action :
168. Remove all files from install-directory, and try again
169. fpclazup: info: 4-2-17 19:25:11: fpcup finished.

Will follow any suggesions.

The question mentioned above "is it a good idea to just copy ~/development/lazarus to different $HOMEs" seems quite relevant to me, e.g. for a classroom rollout. What do you think about that? Is there anything to be said against it (from theoretical aspects)?

[DonAlfredo]

How unfortunate that this install will not work for you !

As the error is similar between the two tries, there is something outside of fpclazup that prevents a correct install.
2 common sources of Lazarus build errors: ([out of memory],[out of diskspace]).

Would you mind running:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ./fpclazup-x86_64-linux --fpcURL=trunk --lazURL=trunk --installdir=mycleanandemptyandnewinstalldir --verbose

This will use the existing sources and will not download anything.

About copying the install:
There are some hardcoded paths.
Using ~ will be tricky, unless you give every pc an equal developer user.
You can install into a shared public directory, inside /var or /usr/local, which would be the same on every pc.
Or use a proxy on your outgoing server, that caches FPC and Lazarus.

[sierdolg]

Both conditions ([out of memory],[out of diskspace]) are very unlikely for the two PCs tested on (8 and 16 GB of RAM, and > 1 TB diskspace free).

Attached you find the last 160k of console output (unfortunately "konsole" only stores the last 1000 lines, as I see now); if that is not enough, I will try again on Monday with redirection.

May be one of

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. tachartcombos.pas(403) Fatal: (10026) There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
2. and
3. fpclazup: ERROR: TUniversalInstaller: package DateTimeCtrlsDsgn.lpk not found ... skipping.

is critical? I have been seeing them since 3 days now regularly.

Thanks again for your great support, and the installer itself, anyway ;-)

[DonAlfredo]

Thanks for the report.
However, still no clues about the actual error.

If you are still with me, please do the following:

Get fpcupdeluxe: https://github.com/newpascal/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/v1.2.0i/fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-linux

Start fpcupdeluxe.
Click "InstallDir select".
Navigate towards your install directory. ("/mnt/harddisk/home/testuser3/SOFTWARE/Linux/lazarus/fpclazup/mycleanandemptyandnewinstalldir") and select this directory.
Click "Setup+".
Uncheck "Split FPC source and bins".
Press ok to go back to the main screen.

With the above settings, fpcupdeluxe will do the same as fpclazup.
However, the main screen of fpcupdeluxe could give us more info about the error.

Click the "trunk" button to start the install. The old sources should be used ! No downloads.

After succes, be happy. After error, please select and copy green screen (left click) and attach.

[sierdolg]

Meanwhile being Happy for other reasons, as an alternative (Sunday, sun is shining, vnd very funny icons deluxe!) :o)

Of course, I'm willing to help in whatsoever possible way.

First, when you stated, fpclazupdeluxe in the configuration described does exactly the same as fpclazup, I expected it to fail. And so id did :-]

However, as expected also this seems interesting new information:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Error: (lazarus) Compile package EditorMacroScript 0.0: terminated
2. Error: (lazarus) Compile package lazreport 0.9.9: terminated
3. Error: (lazarus) [TLazPackageGraph.CompileRequiredPackages] "Exit code 256"
4. Error: (lazarus) Building IDE: Compile AutoInstall Packages failed.
5.  

If that's not enough, then please have a look into the whole log attached.

Thanks a lot, and have a nice Sunday!

Thank !

This is the error (located in your log):

/mnt/harddisk/home/testuser3/SOFTWARE/Linux/lazarus/fpclazup/mycleanandemptyandnewinstalldir/lazarus/components/tachart/tachartcombos.pas(330,15) Error: (4054) Illegal type conversion: "TObject" to "TSeriesPointerStyle"
tachartcombos.pas(403) Fatal: (10026) There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping

Will look into it. Perhaps its a Lazarus bug.

[DonAlfredo]

Here you go !

Most likely, you encountered a Lazarus bug, that has been resolved just a few moments ago.
Just rerun fpcupdeluxe ... it should succeed !

[sierdolg]

YES, you are awesome right!

In an euphoric mood I then added 2 packages I need, anchordocking + zeos, and rebuilt - it failed again.
For fpc I tried "trunk" as well as "default".

I don't see why lazarus_ccr is coming in. In the meantime, another try has been running with a new install directory and the two selected packages. And this (default+trunk+anchordocking+zeos)

Btw: Seeing how much luck it seems to need for a successful build, the idea of archiving the result as a kind of "snapshot" (for a working combination of fpc's, lazarus', and set of packages' versions) becomes even more desirable.
If there was a way to substitute "some hardcoded paths" you mentioned after unpacking, this would be great - quite a counterpart to distribution's packages, but on user level.

Hence, sometimes some "package (archive)" and "unpack" Buttons might be a valuable enrichment for fpclazup-deluxe too...? As I just tested, a 7zip of mycleanandemptyandnewinstalldir2 is 222 MB, which is affordable to archive.

[DonAlfredo]

Fpcup(*) builds an isolated install of FPC and Lazarus.
Isolated meaning: no environment paths changed; all in a single directory.
But with hardcoded paths (necessary for this isolation).

If you use a public available, non-specific install directory, you could indeed pack the whole install (with the startup link from your desktop), and copy it towards a new PC and use it out-of-the-box. Prequisit: if copied and unpacked in the same directory as used to build the whole install !!

That would be my advice.
I will not add an archive option however. This is too specific (and also to easy to do by yourself).

PS:
All fpcup(*) versions have been updated to use upcoming FPC 3.0.2 as the stable FPC version.
And I must say: this new stable is a very very good release of FPC !
