Fpcupdeluxe

[Tony Stone]

@Tony Stone
If your system linux , delete folder "~/.lazarus" and try again use Fpcupdeluxe

I don't have a directory named .lazarus but yes I am running Linux.

Is it not possible to change the Lazarus version selection for an existing installation set up by FPCupDeluxe?

I am not entirely sure what you asked there but if you want to have different installed version of Lazarus then /you/ decide where fpcupdeluxe will install the new selected lazarus build and it has to be a separate directory different from your previous installation. That also means that you have to make/add two different entries to your menu for both individual installations.

Do note that I am not a daily fpcupdeluxe user but make manual builds instead and copy/move the directory generated by make to the correct version number.

My directory looks like:

Code: [Select]

/apps
  /Lazarus
    /1.0.12
       // etc
    /2.2.6
       // etc
    /3.0RC2
       // etc

And I have (manually added) a menu entry for each version and using the --pcp option so that each Lazarus version has its own (individual) configuration directory.

Hey Tony,

I've encountered an issue while upgrading Lazarus through FPCupDeluxe. My current setup was installed using FPCupDeluxe with the Trunk versions for both FPC and Lazarus. However, after a recently trying to update Lazarus to the 3.99 option, Lazarus still shows version 2.3.0.

Attempting to change the Lazarus version to the newly available 3.99 option doesn't seem to work for my existing installation; it continues to display version 2.3.0. Interestingly, when I perform a fresh installation and select version 3.99, Lazarus correctly shows version 3.99.

Is it not possible to change the Lazarus version selection for an existing installation set up by FPCupDeluxe?

From the account you give above one thing comes to mind: fpcupdeluxe only performs a full "git clone" with no depth attached if you chose "trunk".
If you chose a particular version, it will perform a "git clone --depth=1", which in terms means that you'll never quite be able to get out of the version/tag/hash you did the initial clone from.
This explains why when you do a fresh install, it all pans out, since if you're doing a clean install with "trunk", you then get the full blown history of the GIT repository.

Now, I'm no GIT expert, so I'm not quite sure how you would get from the shallow clone you have on the former installed folder into a full blown one.
But I do suspect that this is the problem you're encountering.

Catch me on Discord and we can see if I can come up with a solution, or if you just wanna say "EFFE IT" and opt for the full blown "trunk" install.

Cheers,
Gus
P.S.: If you wanna yell at someone, then you could, maybe, have a go at DonAlfredo for deciding the depth of the cloning  Not that it's gonna do you any good, but could alleviate that nagging pain in the chest

Gus!  Hey buddy!  Yes I think you are explaining my issue.  Let me see if I can get on Discord later tonight and catch you.  I would like to sort it out because I have made so many changes to my configuration that it will be a real pain in the arse to reconfigure(not really) but Would be nice to be able to easily change the version of an existing installation using FPCUpDeluxe.  Hopefully I see you on later!

Hi thanks for this great app but unfortunately it keeps erroring for me at the same point.

I'm running Windows 7 64bit (I know I need to upgrade but I don't have the time right now) and I want to compile trunk for both FPC and Lazarus for i386-win32. I'm using the "fpcupdeluxe-i386-win32.exe" v2.4.0bp and it keeps crashing with this:

It does that right after downloading "x86_64-win64-strip.exe" and then launching "make.exe".

I have attached the full copy/paste of the log window. Weirdly, I tried the "fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-win64.exe" version and it worked flawlessly. If you could help me out on this I would appreciate it, thanks!

Hi

Have you excluded  D:\fpcupdate and its sub folders from your AntiVirus Scanner?

Does the current user have full access to that folder?

If you have tried installing different bitness in same folder, that can cause an issue, if you have empty the folder and start a fresh.

One you ave the 32bit installed then you can easily add the 64bit cross compiler

[fafafooey]

Hi Josh, thanks for the reply.

I have no A/V scanner running and I'm running everything as admin so nothing is restricted. Yes I have been using the same folder for both fpcupdeluxe but I delete everything but I'll try a new folder.

I think there is something with git.exe that doesn't like so I'm going to try using that version by itself to see if it errors out again. Also when it errors out, there are 2 git.exe's running still:

D:/fpcupdate/fpcupdeluxe/fpcbootstrap/git/cmd/git.exe log -1 --pretty=%cd --date=format:%Y/%m/%d

and

D:\fpcupdate\fpcupdeluxe\fpcbootstrap\git\mingw32\bin\git.exe log -1 --pretty=%cd --date=format:%Y/%m/%d

I see a lot of "/" instead of "\" during the install too but don't know if that's an issue or not.


Another question, can I use the 64bit of fpcupdeluxe to install 32bit FPC and Laz trunk?

Thanks for the help, I'm going to try more installs.

Hello,
Tried yesterday to compile lazarus 2.2_fixes, and 3.0RC2 with FPC trunk, but not succed.
No versions of lazarus compile with FPC Trunk.
Thank you.

I can not find RISC-V cpu as a cross compiler target in FPCUPDELUXE.

Is it too early or am I missing something?

Fixes are indeed broken...

It doesn't matter if I choose dedicated Fixes button or manually choose fixes-3.2 with fixes-2.2, the result is the same. Tried on i386-win32. I made a patch for uitypes but quickly realized that many more files need patching so gave up.

Hi,
I wanted to install version 3 of Lazarus from your utility and it re-installed 2.2.6 for me.
The sources directory may not be updated yet on github or is it your application to adapt?
Thanks
François

[Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno]

Hey François,

I wanted to install version 3 of Lazarus from your utility and it re-installed 2.2.6 for me.

We have to wait for DonAlfredo to release a new version that makes the switch from 2.2.6 to 3.0.0 in the stable thing.

I'm sure he's as worried about it as I am cuz I'm overdue on doing the same on setup-lazarus 

Cheers,
Gus

[DonAlfredo]

Indeed ... 

[Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno]

Hey DonAlfredo,

Indeed ... 

Glad to see that you've picked it up quick !!

I just made the upgrades on setup-lazarus!

I'm now having an issue with the GitHub runner under ubuntu-latest aka ubuntu-22.04  :'(

Gonna post a message to see if there's something I can do to solve it.

Good luck with the new version and 🫂 ❤️
