install Lazarus with make AS it was build from Lazarus?

Hi,

I don't know if subject is understandable  When I make lazarus after a subversion update, It reverts to default packages. Is there a way to build Lazarus from the command line and keep packages installed?

I think I found something in wiki (will test later):

Code: [Select]

To link your installed packages do after the above:

[]$ ./lazbuild --build-ide=

[thierrybo]

Well,

it does not work :

 

Code: [Select]

Fatal: Can't find unit LazarusPackageIntf used by codetools
I usually compile lazarus from the tools menu with all options and never really need to choose individual choices, but now I read http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Configure_Build_Lazarus and I have a couple of questions.

It seems "IDE" option is the same thing as

Code: [Select]

./lazbuild --build-ide=, since I get the same error.

Also it seems individual options do not work well, I often get errors, while compiling all packages works.

Also there are some sentences on the wiki I do not understand :

Only the custom packages, that you installed yourself are compiled by calling the compiler directly.

 

What means "by the compiler directly"? With lazbuild or fpc?

Also

The parts are ordered. That means if you recompile the LCL, all parts below needs to be recompiled as well.

Is this really true? Does this mean that if I check LCL, then I need to check Package Registration, IDE Interface, Synedit, IDE? I hardly believe it, because if you check "Build LCL" from the "Quick Build Options" tab, it only check LCL on the Advanced Tab.

Also

Note: The LCL interface on this dialog only applies to the building of Lazarus (including the LCL). All other IDE features use the compiler options (Project > Compiler options).  

Is this really true? I believed that "Build Lazarus" function only use Options set in "Configure Build Lazarus" form, and in no way use the compiler options set in the current project (it would be absurd).

Dont loss your hair, just open lazarus with the reverted packages, open packages dialog and add or delete a package you dont use, close and build, and you get it working again. Is the easier solution, i do all the time.

Thanks,

that's what I do, but I also  have a script to update fpc sources, build fpc, update Lazarus sources and build Lazarus. For this script I just want all to be as much automatic as I can. It's just the last part (build Lazarus with the same options as the current version) that does not work automatically.

Did you try:
  make bigide

I myself build Lazarus from the "Build Lazarus" dialog. Easy enough and configurable.
