fpcup 3.1.1 Update

[shobits1]

well, I was on the same trail and the problem seem to be the svn --version command which return error even when executed from cmd
look

Code: [Select]

C:\Prg\Lazarus\TrunkAll\fpcbootstrap\svn\svn-win32-1.8.13\bin\svn.exe --version
svn: E200029: Couldn't perform atomic initialization
svn: E170001: Could not initialized the SASL library: generic failure

BTW, the last executable didn't solve the problem.

Ok now it is officially the svn binary that fpcup downloading is the root of the problem, it lack the command --version which cause fpcup to exit with error.

I have downloaded the svn command line from https://www.visualsvn.com/files/Apache-Subversion-1.9.1.zip and extracted it on "C:\Prg\Lazarus\TrunkAll\fpcbootstrap\svn\svn-win32-1.8.13\" overwriting all files, then executed fpcup with no error; even the first fpcup (from the afternon) worked fine (at least it started downloading fpc source).

so, I think you should change from where you download svn binary for windows.

Another option: If you have tortoisesvn in your system then you can use their svn by adding a line like

svnexe="c:\program files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svn.exe"

to the ini file. This has the advantage that windows explorer identifies modified files by meas of a red overlay icon.

To which section of the the inifile is this to be added?

Also, are we talking about fpcup.ini or settings.ini?

[shobits1]

wp, nice suggestion; but the problem here is the broken win32svn executable and need to be replaced by binaries from visualsvn which is trivial. as for tortoisesvn and since I'm not involved in heavy/big projects -I hardly uses svn- I don't like installing tortoisesvn.

I added it to the section of settings.ini which is called in the commandline, but I guess it should work also in "[general]".

Ok. Updated fpcup.

I have changed the SVN client !
SVN from https://www.visualsvn.com/files/Apache-Subversion-1.9.1.zip

Also added (dynamic) OpenSSL support to enable download from https.

I hope this solves this very unique problem.

I will remove some of my previous messages that only clutter this thread.

[shobits1]

thanks DonAlfredo for your patience and help; now it is working.

[DonAlfredo]

You're welcome !

New version again.

Previously, a GIT client was needed to get packages from GitHub.
Now, plain archives are downloaded and installed.

Also made some minor package changes.
E.g Indy is still downloaded (in extras), but not installed anymore.

The mysettings-fpcup-trunkall.bat gives now a very extensive Lazarus, including the LAMW ... run your app on ARM !!!

Again, feedback welcome ...

You're welcome !

It would be welcome if Indy is not used at all in fpcup or anywhere else. There are several major issues regarding indy based traffic is blocking or/and hampering anything else. It seems it wants to own your connection to the Internet (hint: it uses exceptions where there aren't any). And it is badly written code anyway. (sigh, again, but demonstrably true).

The "fpcupgui" project "mainform" unit should contain the "installeruniversal" unit in the uses section so we do not get an error about "SETTTINGSFILENAME" and a bunch of other missing values.

Also, the project options should contain the "synaser" unit directory so the compiler does not miss those files and gives errors (project options -> other unit files -> "synaser").

@bobo
Done !
Thank you !!

I updated my FPCEUP yesterday and are upgrading to version 1.4 and not 1.5.
how to fix this problem?

[DonAlfredo]

The default is latest stable. See fpcup.ini for default values for [ALIASfpcURL] and [ALIASlazURL].

If you want Lazarus 1.5, just do:
fpcup --lazURL="1.5"
or
fpcup --lazURL="trunk"

[elidorio]

Hello,

I'm with a doubt!
Which line change to use Lazarus 1.5

[ALIASlazURL]
default=http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/lazarus_1_4_4
trunk=http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk
1.5=http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk
