You have to install gcc-multilib I guess.
The 32bit gcc-files are missing.

Just tríed and I get the same error. I am gong to update distribution and see if it gets better

If you can, you should install native 32-bit FPC suite (release version) first and then build the FPC trunk. Cross compiling from 64-bit to 32-bit is extremely volatile thing to do.

No more luck with fresh install of OS. I will install a 32 bit OS then.

You could use container like LXC and install 32-bit Linux there.

Ah indeed a container may be faster than a virtual machine. Well I tried the virtual machine anyway because that's what I know and it worked (slowly  ).

@DonAlfredo, First of all, I must thank you for this wonderful tool, fpcupdeluxe.
with it I have been able to install FPC and Lazarus on some Oses I thought won't be possible before. 

I have three questions by the way.

1. it seems the debugger is not available in Solaris when I install Lazarus with FPCUPDeluxe. do you have any idea about this?

2. Are the FPCUPDeluxe binaries available for NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD fully functional? (that is can they download, compile and install Lazarus and FPC)?

3. I tried installing Lazarus and FPC Trunk using FPCUPDeluxe on FreeBSD 12 and I get the following error below.

it is saying something about not finding the svn executable while svn is available on my installation, infact, I have uninstalled svn and reinstalled it again from the package manager to see if the error would be resolved but unfortunately no progress.
any idea what is wrong.

Thanks once again.

I get the error in the image attached below when I try to change the "installdir" in FPCUPDeluxe.
My account has elevated privileges though that should not be a problem.
Does anyone have the slightest Idea what could be wrong?

OS
FreeBSD 12.0

Are you in the wheel group? If so, I suggest su'ing to root rather than using sudo because with sudo:

                 To help prevent the editing of unauthorized files, the fol-
                 lowing restrictions are enforced unless explicitly allowed by
                 the security policy:

                 o   Symbolic links may not be edited (version 1.8.15 and
                     higher).

                 o   Symbolic links along the path to be edited are not fol-
                     lowed when the parent directory is writable by the invok-
                     ing user unless that user is root (version 1.8.16 and
                     higher).

                 o   Files located in a directory that is writable by the
                     invoking user may not be edited unless that user is root
                     (version 1.8.16 and higher).

Of course, it may just be easier to do everything as a mere mortal user by adjusting the file and directory permissions.

@trev, you mean in konsole, I should type

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. su root
2.  

Have done that, unfortunately same result.

[trev]

@trev, you mean in konsole, I should type
su root

Yep.

Have done that, unfortunately same result.

You still get permission errors?

[Xor-el]

Yes.

Have you tried manually creating the missing directory as root?  (ie /root/.local/share/.. etc)

[Xor-el]

the problem is not that the directory doesn't exists, the issue is that FPCUPDeluxe encounters issues opening the directory even when am running as root.

can you please try running FPCUPDeluxe on your FreeBSD box and try to change the installDir then you will see what am talking about.

Thanks.

Unfortunately not - I'm having other issues with fpc that need resolving first.
