[SOLVED] Can't find unit process used by RegisterFCL

[Fred vS]

Hello everybody.

I have done a upgrade with :

cd /home/login/freepascal/fpc; svn update

and

cd /home/login/freepascal/lazarus; svn update

then

sudo ./create_fpc_deb.sh fpc /home/login/freepascal/fpc/

and

sudo ./create_fpc_deb.sh fpc-src /home/login/freepascal/fpc/

Everything OK, i have my fpc.deb and fpc-src.deb 

But when i try to build Lazarus :

sudo ./create_lazarus_deb.sh append-revision

I get that sad messages :

What is the cure ?

Ooops, i get it 

i must install first fpc-src.deb and fpc.deb before create lazarus.deb...

I don't know what your scripts really do.

This output says that compiler is fpc-2.4.2.

Of course, you need binary compiler to compile newer version of fpc from sources. There is a rule that you should use the latest stable fpc (or another newer SVN). In this case, you should have fpc 2.4.4 and you can use it for compiling sources 2.5.1 to gain fpc-2.5.1. Then you install fpc 2.5.1 to your system (sudo make install) and you can use it to compile Lazarus.

I totally agree with you 
I have updated to fpc-2.5.1.
Of course i have to install fpc-2.5.1 before Lazarus.
Now, everything is upgraded, i have recompiled my prog with that brand new fpc-2.5.1.

First change i see : miXimum compiled with fpc-2.4.2 was 5.0 megas.
Compiled with fpc-2.5.1 is 5.4 megas 

Now for the run...
At the moment it plays without problem for  45 minutes. ( i cross my fingers  )
I hope that with the new fpc version it gonna resolve the problem i have noted with fpc-2.4.2 for Linux : after +- 1 hour playing, the application become slower, the timers are slower, everything respond slower.

The same code compiled with fpc-2.4.2 in Windows and OSX do not have that problem.

Thanks

Doctor, is it dangerous ?

browserdetection.inc(44,10) Warning: Symbol "CommandLine" is deprecated

It means that symbol "CommandLine" was replaced with other symbol and probably will not be supported in future versions and maybe will be removed. If you use this symbol somewhere in your project then you should search for actual replacement.
Warning are not dangerous.

No, after one hour playing, i get the same problem, even with fpc-2.5.1    

I gonna come back to fpc-2.4.2 to have same version installed in Windows
