[Solved] Haiku i386: how to run fpcupdeluxe?

[Alextp]

I downloaded fpcupdeluxe from its Releases page. On Run it said that it missed libQt5Pas.so.1. I got it from some google link.

Next run. It said again - it cannot load it. I tried from Terminal, terminal says that libQt5Pas requires missing libQt5Pas*Print*.so.

I cannot find this libQt5Pas*Print* so I stopped.

I've never seen an libQt5Pas haiku library around. You should build it on your own if it does not exist.

You could install this lib and it dependencies using HaikuDepot https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/haikudepot.html

In addition to the above.
Screenshot shows fpcupdeluxe running on Haiku x86_64 with QT5.
Cross-compiled from Windows.

Thanks, so this is solved.

Don,
I still have show stopper, Github issue 255 (2 posts, for 2 versions).

[DonAlfredo]

For sure.
Haiku x86 is something special. Also new to me since yesterday.
It has two modes. The better mode can be reached by doing "setarch x86" from the command line in a terminal.
To give you an example.
Open a terminal and do:
ld -v
setarch x86
ld -v
Knowing the above, I have tuned fpcupdeluxe (the pre-release) to handle this.
However, to enjoy the changes, you need to delete the fpc.cfg from the fpc binary directory, so fpcupdeluxe can generate a new one. That should be all you need.

[DonAlfredo]

I have uploaded a new pre-release for x86.
It also contains libQt5Pas.so.1.2.8 and co that will enable you to compile Lazarus stable and trunk.
Copy the libs into "...../system/non-packaged/lib/x86" and you are good to go !
Note: you must have QT5 installed, but that should be trivial.

You now get the famous:

Error: (9030) Can't call the resource compiler

That is normally caused by a RAM shortage.
The same happens often (always) on Raspberry Pi 1-2 when no swap-space is available.
Can you increase RAM ?

The ultimate cheeky question in return is: can you make it so that I am able to compile the Haiku compiler using Haiku on my pi so that there is a need to actually increase swap-space on my pi

fwiw: rebuilding the latest lazarus IDE requires increased swap-space on a pi3 now as well, for a build (whether doing it manually or using fpc-deluxe) it was already necessary. For the lurker who has a hard time deciding between 4/8GB pi 4 version... choose the 16GB one 

Thank you for your keeping fpc-deluxe maintained DonAlfredo. You keep the spirit of BigChimp alive 

[DonAlfredo]

@TRon
FPC does not support Haiku on ARM or ARM64. Or am I misunderstanding your request ?

You keep the spirit of BigChimp alive.

Thanks.

[TRon]

DonAlfredo, you are understanding the request perfectly fine

FPC not supporting Haiku on arm is a matter of time...

>That is normally caused by a RAM shortage.

Oh, thanks! now solved, and I have ready Laz on Haiku.

[DonAlfredo]
