Compiling Indy with Lazarus 1.0.10

[jpelletier]

Hi,
I compiled successfully the indy components but when I try to install them in Lazarus, I get this message:
IdGlobal.pas(71,12) Fatal: Can not find IdGlobal used by IdAboutVCL, ppu=..\components\indy\lib\x86_64-win64\IdGlobal.ppu, package indylaz

Obviously, all the file are present and the settings are all OK. What could be the problem?

Have you seen this page http://wiki.freepascal.org/Indy_with_Lazarus?

Yes, I followed the instructions in 1.10: How to install [3] Windows, Indy 10.5.8.0
I created a folder indy in C:\lazarus\components but when I add this folder in
$(PkgOutDir);C:\lazarus\components\indy it issues a warning about bad configuration of the package.

Finally, I gave it another try, ignoring the warning above and ignoring other messages about double ppu files. So now it installed successfully (windows 7 64-bit).

yeah fpc hates static paths, just use a relative path you can control eg $(PkgOutDir);$(PkgOutDir)..\; for example.

This is a known problem for the Indy package installation (due to an FPC problem).

Please, look at this topic, for instance:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,20782

The simplest workaround is to compile the package twice before installing it. In fact, the second compilation just updates a checksum in one the object files, so it's really quite fast.

And that's why your second try has finally succeeded.

I've just updated the wiki page concerning the windows installation.

Hi Chris. You'll also need to state that the method works for Indy 10.5.8.0 & above since the current version is Indy 10.6

Done, thanks. I've slightly modified the title of the concerned paragraph.

I've also added the download URL for the current fulgan versions.
