cant build fpc or laz anymore

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I had both fpc and lazarus nicely installed from svn earlier this year but now it's all gone bad on me.

fpc wont compile:

I have gtk selected as widget set and I see the file is present.

Is svn currently broken or am I making a mistake?

TIA

opps, logging-in to get notifications.

First you need an optodate and compiled FPC. you cannot mix older and newer units.
So step 1 is to get fpc (and the fcl) compiled. I checked r3223 and it compiles without problems

thanks for the reply , I expected to need to update fpc , that's why it was the first thing I tried , you have the error it produced above.

I just updated the whole of fpcbuild

bash-3.1#pwd
/svn/fpcbuild/trunk/fpcsrc
bash-3.1#make all    
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
bash-3.1#make install

I see in another thread you advise removing fpc and the ppc link but this produces :

Makefile:119: *** Compiler ppc386 not found.  Stop.

not surprisingly .

Where can I find complete instructions on how to install and build fpc from svn. I have spent considerable time ploughing around but found nothing.

TIA

PS I also tried symlinking to previous 2.0.3 to at least have a compiler to work with to rebuild svn but that takes me back to "cant find unit System"

:?

OK , resynced to svn and retried  make install.

If anyone knows where there are instructions on how to install fpc svn cleanly , please bring me out of darkness.

Thx

two months on, fresh svn sync of trunk and now it paszlib that fails.

some clear doc on how to install and build svn fpc would be nice, it's a waste of time and effort googling and guessing here.

I'm sure its a trivial omition but I dont want to spend a week trying to hack it.

TIA

PS will svn laz compile with 2.1.1 ?

PS
form /etc/fpc/fpc.cfg:

-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget/gtk
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget/rtl

and

bash-3.1#ls /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/i386-linux/paszlib
adler.o       inffast.ppu     libpinffast.a   libpzuncompr.a  zcompres.ppu
adler.ppu     inftrees.o      libpinftrees.a  Package.fpc     zdeflate.o
gzio.o        inftrees.ppu    libpinfutil.a   paszlib.o       zdeflate.ppu
gzio.ppu      infutil.o       libppaszlib.a   paszlib.ppu     zinflate.o
infblock.o    infutil.ppu     libptrees.a     trees.o         zinflate.ppu
infblock.ppu  libpadler.a     libpzbase.a     trees.ppu       zuncompr.o
infcodes.o    libpgzio.a      libpzcompres.a  zbase.o         zuncompr.ppu
infcodes.ppu  libpinfblock.a  libpzdeflate.a  zbase.ppu
inffast.o     libpinfcodes.a  libpzinflate.a  zcompres.o

so paszlib is there and fpc.cfg points to it.

why is make install failing?

[lazybugger]

Ok , make clean install on both fpc and laz seems to have sorted this , thanks for the help.

[Marc]

PS
form /etc/fpc/fpc.cfg:

-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget/gtk
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/$fpctarget/rtl

Better change the /2.1.1/ in your fpc.cfg to /$fpcversion/

This way you wont have problems when you switch compiler.
