Fpcupdeluxe

[zoltanleo]

Hi

I decided to install trunk fpc/lazarus in a new directory. When I tried to install the compiler, I found that fpcupdeluxe cannot download gnu-utilities from the internet. This results in the error:

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. Using PowerShell to download C:\laz_test_\fpcbootstrap\cpp.exe
2. Using WinINet to download C:\laz_test_\fpcbootstrap\cpp.exe

12. . Details:

If I copy the files to the new fpcbootstrap directory from the directory where the old version of fpc/lazarus was previously installed, the installation process is completed successfully.

I've tried using FPCUPdeluxe V2.2.0b and FPCUPdeluxe V2.2.0g versions on Windows.

I guess you also reported this issue on GitHub ? If so, please do not cross-post these (obvious) fpcupdeluxe errors. If not, please use GitHub issues for reporting these issues. But not this one: its already reported.
I will look into it. Thanks.

Hi DonAlfredo

no problem.  i thought it might be a good idea if you know about it

[DonAlfredo]

New fpcupdeluxe version (that celebrates a new Lazarus stable version) should solve this issue !

Hi DonAlfredo

Thank a lot!

I have some problems with creating a crosscompiler for ESP8266 Compiling with xtensa-freertos, because the path are specific for stm32 (lx6) and did not care, if the toolchain of ESP8266 is used.

Actual i have extended some things in the crosstools, to reflect more the difference. Today it is not possible to create both toolchains, because fpc can not handle stm32(lx6) and esp8266(lx106) at the same time. If you build one, you overwrite the other, only with moving and reorg the data (by hand) it can be possible actual.

In the last fes day a extra commandline option -WPx.y in cross-FPC is used to change the toolchain version to x.y, because there are more toolchain version with different behavior.

You must make sure there are different directories for the rtl, but for the (cross)compilers themselves you can use the -V<x> option, where <x> is the cpu type. Fpcupdeluxe allows both requirements.
V must be uppercase of course.
E,g.
-VESP8266 will generate ppcESP8266
and
-Vstm32x6 will generate ppcstm32x6

Note that it is possible that the compiler already appends someting to ppc but the principle is the same: use different directories  and use -V<x>

[af0815]

no problem with the crosscompiler itself, but with the building of the rtl. stm32 and esp8266 use the same directorystructure in xtensa-freertos. it was misspelled by me.

Edit:
Good news - with the patched fpcupdeluxe and a lot of help, i have the first blink example on a esp8266 running, compiled with fpc and the crosscompiler for extensa-freertos.

The LED on my ESP8266MOD12-F is blinking.

Edit2: Files for the actual cross for windows ESP8266 are here to find. https://github.com/afriess/fpc-xtensa-freertos/tree/SDK_V3.4 there are the bin files for bootloader etc. included. This is a early version to test if it works correct with the patched fpcupdeluxe

This can happen with Trunk. It looks like a Problem with a package. You can try to build Lazarus in a commandline.

hello
fpcupdeluxe 2.2.0h
lazarus 2.2.0 on archlinux x86-64 I compile for i386 and get errors

I also have lazarus 2.0.12 installed which I installed with fpcupdeluxe a year ago. There is no such problem

Why is lazarus referring to /usr/lib32?

[RDL]

Hey
Can anyone share the version of fpcupdeluxe 1.8.2u?
for linux x86-64-qt5

[DonAlfredo]

Do not revert to an old version.
Its better to solve the issue with the current version. That will allow all users to enjoy the fix.
So, please provide more details about your issue.

[RDL]

@DonAlfredo
I don't know what to write in more detail.
Over a year ago I installed Lazarus 2.0.12 on Linux Acrh x86-64 + Cross Linux i386. (fpcupdeluxe 1.8.2u)
I could compile on x86-64 and i386.

I have now installed pure lazarus 2.2.0 on Linux Acrh x86-64 + Cross Linux i386. (fpcupdeluxe 2.2.0h).
I am getting errors when compiling on i386.
I attached a screenshot of the errors above. I don't know what the problem is.

Why is lazarus trying to look for something in /usr/lib32?
As I understand it, lazarus should take all libraries from (installdir)/cross/lib/i386-linux

I am ready to provide any information, just tell me what?

P.S. I will add that I still have lazarus 2.0.12 which I installed a year ago and it still compiles on x86-64 and i386

@RDL
Its clear now.
The new fpcupdeluxe looks for availability of 32bits libraries and binaries on your 64 bits system. This is due to the fact that the libs (and bins) delivered by fpcupdeluxe cannot be easily kept up-to-date for all those systems out there. In your case, it finds (some) libs in /usr/lib32. But incomplete and perhaps with a seemingly outdated dynamic linker.
As I do not know the details about your system, as a temporary workaround, I would like to advice you to copy the i386-linux cross libs from your previous install into the new install and re-run fpcupdeluxe to build the cross-compiler.
