[SOLVED] Re-Compile Lazarus on FreeBSD
photor-laz:
Hello Forum,
Sorry, for not being soo often here - I usually use the German Forum. But my question seems to be too special. So, they pointed me here.
My problem: re-compiling the Lazarus IDE on FreeBSD starts but does not seem to come to an end:
I have installed FreeBSd 12.2 on an old MacBook Pro (8.2) which seems to run OK (the machine is not running MacOS anymore).
I want to use Lazarus on that machine so I installed Lazarus from the packages (latest). Installation went fine, but, when I try to compile the IDE (maybe to add some Lazarus packages; e.g. to get the 1-window-layout of the IDE) the compilation starts quite good. But after some time it looks like it is stopped: no new messages in the message window; title of menu-window shows "... compiling"; no possibility to start new compilation; error message about still running compiliation when shutting down IDE (or machine).
As I am not very familiar with Lazarus in detail (just did the above on Linux and never had that kind of problems), what can I do to fix it? Or, what can I do, to find out, what is going wrong here?
I hope some poeple with (Free)BSD experience are here.
Thank you for your help,
Photor

I just tested a new FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE VM with an installation of Lazarus (GTK2) from the ports collection.
There is one issue, FPC cannot find the linker -- it's looking for /bin/ld.bfd -- solved by soft-linking /usr/local/bin/ld.bfd to /bin. I've logged a bug for this in the BugTracker.
I can rebuild the Lazarus IDE without any issues from Tools > Build Lazarus... (tried a couple of different profiles).
I cannot install any packages from Package > Online Package Manager though - always the same error (see attachment).
Exactly what are you doing?

Hello trev,
thank you for testing and the reply. I have not tried the soft link (I will do as soon as possible) but this sounds as the 1st solution to try out: no linker means no chance for a working executable. But why do I get no message about that - here is the output I get (only the last lines - if more is needed I can post of course):

--- End code ---
it just stops; nothing about linking.
So, thanks for now; I come back after testing with the soft link created.
Ciao,
Photor
PS: created the link and I was able to compile (and link and execute) one of my own projects (good). BUT unfortunately, compiling the Lazarus IDE did not work - same as before.

See if you can increase error verbosity, by turning off filtering by right clicking on a line in the error window. After you do that you must try to recompile

I had the same problem with OPM. As I set the download directory to a visible and accessible one there was no problem with recompiling.
