Installation under Debian Sarge

[Neuromancien]

Hi

I'm trying to install Lazarus (under Debian Sarge) but I get an error

Code: [Select]


# make clean all
...
Assembling lclstrconsts
Compiling fpcadds.pas
fpcadds.pas(29,10) Fatal: Can't find unit CLASSES
make[1]: *** [alllclunits.ppu] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/lazarus/lcl'
make: *** [lcl] Error 2


Can you help me ?

How did you install the compiler? Check your fpc.cfg (/etc/fpc.cfg or ~/.fpc.cfg) if it contains the right paths (-Fu/path/to/dir/with/classes.ppu).

I installed the Debian package. fpc.cfg contains :

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
#-Fu~/fpc/packages/*;~/fpc/rtl/linux

The path is : /usr/lib/fpc/1.0.10/units/linux. So it seems to be OK. Or should I add each folder ? Is a package missing ?

I had to install some packages (fp-units-fcl, fp-units-gfx...). But now I get an other error that I don't understand at all :

Code: [Select]

Compiling lclstrconsts.pas

lclstrconsts.pas(189) Error: Writing Resource String Table file: $1

Now I get :

Code: [Select]

Linking ./lazarus
/usr/bin/ld: ne peut trouver -lgdk
lazarus.pp(374) Error: Error while linking

"ne peut trouver"="cannot find"

Please read the FAQ. You need to install the development libraries of gtk: libgtk1.2-dev.

After compiling, I'm trying "make install" as root. I get the following error.

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/fpcmake -p -Tlinux Makefile.fpc
Processing Makefile.fpc
Error: Target "linux", package "rtl" not found

make install is not supported (yet?).  You don't need it either, just start the lazarus executable in the source directory.

When I start Lazarus, I get a warning :

Code: [Select]

The Free Pascal source directory was not found. Some functions will not work. It is recommended that you install it and set the path.

How to find the Free Pascal source directory ?  :?:

[Vincent Snijders]

It is the directory where you (should have) extracted the fpcsrc archive. It contains among others a rtl fcl and packages directory. In those directories there are more directories with pascal sources.
