lazarus won't start

[Vincent Snijders]

Nice that you got things working.

I thought that $HOME/fpc.cfg had to be moved to $HOME/.fpc.cfg to let the compiler find it, but maybe I am wrong.

Hi,

after downloading the binary package the script install a fpc.cfg inside the $HOME only for the temp use of the fpc inside $HOME/fpc/bin .

But this configuration file could make problems after installing the new fpc .

Maybe problems, becouse of old path things and so on. So therefore a new fpc.cfg will be generated from the new fpc build

I used the $HOME for the first cfg because of the write permissons  but after installing the builded fpc its good to store the cfg inside /etc so every user have acess to

So now we are going to build Lazarus 

first of all make shure that you have following packages proper installed

Code: [Select]

x11proto-kb-dev install
libxdmcp-dev install
xtrans-dev install
x11proto-core-dev install
x11proto-input-dev install

libmpeg3-1 install
libdigest-sha1-perl install
build-essential install
libgdk-pixbuf-dev install
glibc-source install
These packages  looks like that they are needed from the build process. If you find out some were to much so please tell it here so we can update the list for wiki.

To make it easy as much as possible you can safe this into a file name it install_all.txt open synaptics . There you can import the file.

After this  you can start the following script

Code: [Select]

#! /bin/bash
#save this file as get_lazarus_svn.sh & store it @$HOME
#set -x
#
svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ $HOME/lazarus/svn
cd $HOME/lazarus/svn
make
#
# http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus/de
#
echo "use <svn update lazarus> inside $HOME/lazarus/svn 4 update Lazarus svn"
exit -a


Now the build process should run through


This was now done by me on a new fresh debian5 system with Powerpc architekture. Maybe some packages where to much but this list was created by try and error to get the build process run through.

Hope this will help some people to climb over the first hill building Lazarus and get it working.

So have fun

I tried this out . Yet you got Revision 18887. But building an error occur

Compiling allsyneditunits.pp
Compiling synpropertyeditobjectlist.pas
Fatal: Can't find unit PropEdits used by SynPropertyEditObjectList
Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: *** [allsyneditunits.ppu] Fehler 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/martin/lazarus/svn/components/synedit'
make[1]: *** [synedit_all] Fehler 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/martin/lazarus/svn/components'
make: *** [components] Fehler 2

This looks like a problem from the source today.

I just got the same error with the latest daily snapshot. The build order seems wrong because SynEdit gets built before IDEIntf does. I solve this problem by doing 'make all' in ideintf folder first, then continue the broken 'make all' from the top directory. No bug report about this yet AFAIK, so please make it (I'm too lazy to do it ). Note that this bug doesn't occur if you build lazarus from the IDE (don't know why).

[Vincent Snijders]

This error is suposedly fixed in r18888: http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&root=lazarus&revision=18888

Instead of make (or make all), I would advice make bigide, which adds some more components to the component palette. This make target is used in releases and snapshots too.

I use make all for normal development of lazarus itself, it is faster and the binary is smaller.

[Triple]

Yes now this bug is fixed and it compiles Lazarus completely.

@Leledumbo   No Bug report is neeeded I am also partly lazy 

@Vincent  So the things I have done (scripts) hopefully helps the beginners to startup the wole stuff. Do you think I should write a litte explanation file for it about whats going on ? So this could help a lot to understand whats going on.
We could also modify the script about what's to checkout e.g brunch or trunk or last stable release or something like "get_lazarus stable" or so.

Martin, I have no opinion about that, but more documentation never hurts, I guess.

That being said, your scripts already have some documentation.
