Cannot compile CudaText for FreeBSD x64 with libQt5Pas

[AlexTP]

I got the libQt5Pas file from
https://github.com/Alexey-T/CudaText/issues/5040#issuecomment-1533917966
and copied it to
fpcupdeluxe/fpcupdeluxe32/cross/lib/x86_64-freebsd/libQt5Pas.so

On compiling, I got many messages like this:

Error: /home/user/fpcupdeluxe/fpcupdeluxe32/cross/bin/x86_64-freebsd/x86_64-freebsd12-ld.bfd: /home/user/fpcupdeluxe/fpcupdeluxe32/cross/lib/x86_64-freebsd//libQt5Pas.so: undefined reference to `QItemSelectionModel::columnIntersectsSelection(int, QModelIndex const&) const@Qt_5'

And 'linking error' at end.

If you remove the .1 (specific versioning, bad idea) it compiles if FreeBSD is up to date. I just tested that.

(btw thx for the nice projects you do)

[AlexTP]

I already removed the .1 (because if not, linker cannot find the file, now it finds the .so file, but we have many compile errors, like I shown).

I use fpcupdeluxe, cross-compiling to FreeBSD on Linux Ubuntu 20.4.

And I use
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.3-660-g9b2ba834a6 [2022/08/18] for x86_64

it would be more normal to put the original file, libQt5Pas.so.1.2.12, in the appropriate lib directory and then make symlinks called libQt5Pas.so.1.2, libQt5Pas.so.1 and libQt5Pas.so to it.

I am unsure which one Zeljko's code tries to open. But it could be any of them except, probably, "libQt5Pas.so.1.2.12".

I did it now, it did not help.
Maybe Qt5 .so files are needed as well, and linker needs them?

I haven't tested it for a long time, but IIRC FreeBSD is less flexible with libraries placed outside system directories.

Try to see with increased LD verbosity if it is actually found.

Maybe a LLVM compiled vs GCC compiled qt5pas ? Do the symbols appear with nm ?

How to do it?

I cannot change the .so file, I used the one uploaded for me.

Do the symbols appear with nm ?

user@PC:~/fpcupdeluxe/fpcupdeluxe32/cross/lib/x86_64-freebsd$ nm libQt5Pas.so
nm: libQt5Pas.so: no symbols

FreeBSD is allergic to ANY SPECIFIC versioning and expects the libraries in the proper place.
That is both its strength and its weakness to programmers.
