try it with fpcupdeluxe and fix the error for not installed packages. You have to expand the swap with factor 10 to get no linker error from fpc.

-This is written from a Raspberry pi 3 - did you solve it? because I am on Laz trunk and FPC trunk and there are no problems at all...

So what were your exact steps? (I really mean exact...e.g. some Russian po files have conflicts today, but these are not vital)

I had also problems and could only compile an older nightly edition Lazarus 1.9 (not the latest). Other versions where also problematic. However after installing the latest Raspbian operating system Buster, you get Lazarus 2.0.0 and FPC 3.0.4 by simply:

sudo apt-get install lazarus

No. Use - one time - fpcdeluxe. There are no problems. Again written from a Raspberri Pi 3 b. This weekend from a RPi 4 I hope... 8-)
If there are any problems, report back. I can compile ANY (stable) version that supports armhf on a Raspberry Pi without problems. Lazarus too...It's not rocket science, everybody can do it.
Can even be done on a RPi 1 B

fpc fixes32 with Laz fixe20 also possible with fpcupdeluxe an a raspi 3B+ with enlarged swap !!!!!

Indeed, I would recommend a swap of at least 1 Gb (but not more than 2), certainly to compile Lazarus. FPC has less strain.

Well, I again run into problems. If I want to recompile the installed Lazarus 2.0.0 in a Pi3 it stops with an error:

lazarus.pp(1,1) Fatal cannot find fpdebug. used by Lazarus

But it is available in /usr/lib/lazarus/2.0.0/components so shouldn't be a problem. Path is set in tools environment

If I compile manually fpdebug.lpk, it stops at can't find virtualtree.....

Frustrating. It would be nice if a simple .deb installer was available on Sourceforge. I'm thinking going back to a older trunk 1.90 dailly build which worked fine for me and just type "make clean bigide". Strange enough "make clean bigide" doesn't work for the latest dailly build. Never had these problems in amd64.

Will have a look to fpcupdeluxe and memory swap size. :(

Okay increased the swap size as described https://www.bitpi.co/2015/02/11/how-to-change-raspberry-pis-swapfile-size-on-rasbian/ (https://www.bitpi.co/2015/02/11/how-to-change-raspberry-pis-swapfile-size-on-rasbian/)

Checked swap size by "free -m" indicating a swap of 1023

Did a rebuild of Lazarus 2.0.0 and get the same error:

lazarus.pp(1,1) Fatal cannot find fpdebug used by Lazarus

Ok, actual working tested is
fpc fixes32 with Laz fixe20 (by me)
fpc trunk with Laz trunk (by Thaddy)

Maybe Lazarus 2.0.0 with FPC ??3.0.4?? is not working.

Did this working with one of the working configurations ?

If you try it with the simply fpcupdeluxe installer, you need not to deal with packages. To have some 'nice' deb packages you need more peoplepower for building .deb packages for all flowers of linux with different 'spezialities'. This is on of the reasons for fpcupdeluxe - you can build direct from the sources with a well mainted tool (THX to Alfred !!!) on a lot of platforms.

Hello Andreas,

1) Tried all your update commands. Only the following did something effectively:

sudo apt-get install subversion

2) Then I tried to compile from command line

cd /etc/alternatives/lazarus
sudo make clean bigide

That worked.

3) Then I tried to rebuild "normal ide" from the Lazarus menu and this time it works! But why? I'm puzzled.

troubles with path and maybe old versions hanging around ?!

I installed a clean Buster twice on my Pi3 and the same problem occurred. I have the impression that "make clean bigide" did the trick. Soon my Pi4 will arrive and I will try again.

Thanks for the advice.

Be careful with Buster: even I went through hoops after installing it on a RPi 3.... and I am very experienced.
There are a lot of package dependencies that needs to be built yourself from source. RaspBian Buster is rather incomplete.
Mostly make and ./configure but not suitable for people that have no experience with building C libraries from source.
I'd recommend to keep Stretch for a few months unless you can do the above.

We'll see: I am awaiting three RPi's 4 too.... :D ;) :) (2 two Gb, one 4 Gb )

BTW: The compiler itself is not the problem: simply go to the ./compiler directory and do make cycle.

Stretch is no longer available. You get default Buster. I'm glad with it since it has Lazarus 2.0.0 (better then 1.6.2), so that's fine for me

I did some more testing and I think I found the reason why it doesn't recompile. I removed the compiled files of fpdebug as follows:

cd /etc/alternatives/components/fpdebug/lib/arm-linux
sudo rm *.*

So this removes all .ppu and .o files. Then I tried again in Lazarus rebuild. It stops at the same error "lazarus.pp(1,1) Fatal cannot find fpdebug used by Lazarus"

So why are the *.o and *.ppu *.compiled not generated by the rebuild? Is it not simply administrative rights? Lazarus is in /usr/lib/lazarus/2.0.0 What would be the correct approach to get the required rights? (Normally I work under Windows, so I'm unfamiliar with this)

Hi, I have the same problem
Has anyone a solution?

what kind of same problem ?

There see some different problems in this thread.

What kind of RasPi, how did you install?

Post by: Thaddy on July 27, 2019, 05:56:15 pm

I can compile it on any Raspberry Pi so what is the exact problem?
- Version of the Raspberry Pi?
- Version of Raspbian?
- Version of FPC and Lazarus you need?

If you give that information I can give guidance.

BTW: you are definitely not on Raspbian buster, because then 3.0.4 can be installed from Apt.
Or Raspbian stretch with back-ports.

More info needed. It is quite easy.

In short: you did not ever upgrade your system.< >:D 8-)>

If you really did not do that, you are a beginner and I would be glad to explain how to get the most recent FPC and Lazarus on a Raspberyy Pi.
