Other problems compiling lazarus from CVS

[bro1]

Hi,

I have fpc 1.0.10. I am running Debian unstable.
Today I have got lazarus code from CVS and tried to build it.

Code: [Select]


make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bro1/projects/lazarus/lcl'

Is this classes unit part of lazarus? Or part of freepascal? Where do I get it?

[Vincent Snijders]

It is part of FPC, to be precise, the FCL, a non-visual class library.

This file is suposed to installed when you install fpc. Some other user had a problem that on debian there was no /etc/fpc.cfg file. This could lead to not finding the file classes.ppu
Please, read the last messages of http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=79

If you have a fpc.cfg, what are the paths after -Fu?

[bro1]

This is what I have in /etc/fpc.cfg

Code: [Select]


# searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$version/units/$target
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$version/units/$target/*
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$version/units/$target/rtl


Just looked into /usr/lib/fpc/1.0.10/units/linux/ this directory contains only a sub directory rtl. I'll try to get FCL as well.

OK, I found out that I have couple of free pascal debian packages missing and I am installing fp-units-base and fp-units-fcl now.

I'll try to post information on the progress here.

Thanks!

So in order to build Lazarus on Debian unstable I had to install the following:
fp-compiler
fp-units-fcl
fp-units-gtk
fp-units-base

and some developmrnt packages related to pixbuf and gtk

OK, so I have built Lazarus, started it playd with it for about 2 minutes and managed to crash my X session twice :/ Anyway, it looks very nice and I hope to try to port my application from Kylix/Delphi to Lazarus some time.

Thanks
