It is not implemented as a feature like other Packages that are installable over OPM.
So the answer is, you can't.

And to make it even more clear: because it is already part of Lazarus (when FPCUpDeluxe creates Lazarus for you).

No - it is confusing: There is a unit ExtCtrls in the Lazarus installation, part of the LCL - no need to install anything to get it. But there is also a package ExCtrls (note the missing "t") on CCR; it is an experimental package containing several additional components. At the moment there is not yet a release version and thus it is not available for OPM, and probably this is the reason why it also does not appear in the "modules" list of fpcupdeluxe. In such a case, the package should be downloaded from the package site and installed via the lpk file, just as the OP did and succeeded.

I think OPM and fpcupdeluxe are nice tools to help users to install third-party packages into Lazarus. But there are so many nice things out there on lots of github or svn repositories which are not available in OPM and fpcupdeluxe. A user interested in third-party components should always be able to install packages without these tools.

IC. Thank you very much for the correction wp. It indeed confused me, me thinking that the exctrls unit once started out at ccr (now integrated) while it is a separate package. That is poor choice of naming scheme (or me just being stupid  ).

I stand corrected.

Hi @DonAlfredo
Any update to fpcupdeluxe to support this last release (lazarus 3.4) ?
Thank you.

[DonAlfredo]

On holiday ... 
Next week !

[DonAlfredo]

New release. Lazarus 3.4 as stable added.
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/v2.4.0e

Sidenote.
As always, if switching towards this new Lazarus stable, install in a new dedicated directory with a suitable name.

Request.
The new FPC 3.2.4 is around the corner. This will be a very good release !
However, final testing would be welcome.
To test. Install FPC fixes and Lazarus fixes in a dedicated directory. Test your apps. Report any issues !!

Thanks and enjoy the power of FPC and Lazarus.

[BSaidus]

Thank you @DonAlfredo.

I have question, is there any possibility to add a feature, installating lazarus release & fpc trunk. I ask this because not always the trunk FPC compiles Lazarus release.
I use cross compile from windows to FreeBSD aarch64, It require me to install fpc trunk to some revision.
So Is there possibility ( not from fpcupdeluxe ) from lazarus/fpc team to add revions history that indicate FPCtrunk-Lazarus release compiles.

Thank you.

Turkish language file @DonAlfredo

[AlexTP]

Hi Don Alfredo,
for my app, I need ARMel and ARMhf binaries.
It seems I can install only one cross (on Linux x64) - ARMel or ARMhf, not both.
Is it possible to improve Deluxe, so GUI allows to install 2 crosses, both of them?

[DonAlfredo]

AFAIK, this is not possible. The arm cross-compiler for Linux can only be build for ARMEL or ARMHF. Not both.

[DonAlfredo]

@Onur2x
Turkish language implemented. Thanks !

AFAIK, this is not possible. The arm cross-compiler for Linux can only be build for ARMEL or ARMHF. Not both.

It is a bit more complex than that: if you write a simple program on armhf, without any math involved, the program will default to armel. Only when the compiler see's that math is involved it will use the armhf instruction set. I had a discussion with Jonas about that about 8-9 years ago regarding code generated for rpi1, and I submitted a bug report that was marked as no change required.
That has not changed. But the case here seems the other way around? armel with softfloat?
Current state is
- if you compile for armel, softfloat is used
- if you compile for armhf, the hf part is only used if it is actally used, e.g.: on armhf, hello, world generates armel only code. You can test that...

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. uname -m <executable>

If no hf code is used, even on armhf, it says armel on the hello, world example....
