How to config? (and missing wincrt)

[ursatempest]

Alright, I reinstalled Lazarus after the purge. I got some strange result... especially near the end.

What's update-alternatives mean anyway?

@lainz:
sorry, now i read (too lat) that you also have 64 bit version installed.

Are you sure crt unit is available for that target ?

yes.

Alright, after I've purged Lazarus it still somehow retain the config and opened the last .pas I opened.

Probably somehwere in your homedir there is still configuration ~/lazarus or ~/.config/lazarus or something like that.

[Thaddy]

Yes, try: ls -a
That will also show hidden stuff.

So in a fit of madness I decided to just re-install to Ubuntu 16.04!

Well, kind of. I'm still in the backing-up process. But anyway...

Is there a tutorial of installing FPC and Lazarus on fresh Ubuntu install? Preferably, in the way that's understandable by newb.

EDIT: I was checking my Bash history, and... hmm, did I do something wrong? Here is how I install FPC and Lazarus:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install fp-compiler
sudo apt-get install lazarus

And then I realized I can't compile a test program, so I decided to remove Lazarus..

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove lazarus
sudo apt-get remove lazarus-ide
sudo apt-get remove lazarus-ide-1.6
sudo apt-get fp-ide
sudo apt-get install fp-ide

It still doesn't quite work, though.

Code: [Select]

fpc -vut persegi.pas
fpc
fp
fpc -vut persegi.pas
fpc -Fu
fpc -Fu persegi.pas

So I decided to remove everything again...

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove fpc
sudo apt-get remove fp
sudo apt-get remove fp-ide
sudo apt-get remove fp-doc
cd application
cd Application
cd fpc

... and installed from tar. In retrospect, I suspect it is one of the terrible decision I made.

Code: [Select]

sudo sh install.sh
fp

It's not in the history, but I think this is the part where I try to compile the test pascal again and find out it doesn't work. So I decided to remove it again...

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove fpc
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get fpc
sudo apt-get fp
sudo apt-get remove lazarus
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get remove fp-compiler
sudo apt autoremove

But since it's installed from tar, it's not removed, much to my dismay.

Code: [Select]

fp

So I give-up, and decided to just download every vaguely pascal-thing in repo.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove fp
sudo apt-get remove fp-ide
sudo apt-get remove free_pascal
apt list --installed >~/Desktop/package
apt list --installed
sudo apt-get install fp-compiler
sudo apt-get install fp-ide
sudo apt-get install fp-units-base
fp
sudo apt-get fp-units-fcl-3.0.0
sudo apt-get install fp-units-fcl-3.0.0
sudo apt-get install fp-units-rtl
fp
sudo apt-get install fp-units-math
sudo apt-get install fp-units-misc
fp
sudo apt-get remove fp-compiler
sudo apt-get remove fp-ide
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get remove fp-units-base
sudo apt-get remove fpc
sudo apt-get remove fp-units-math
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get remove fp-units-misc
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get remove fp-units-fcl-3.0.0
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get remove fp-units-rtl
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get remove fp-units-fcl-3.0.0

Alas, it's still doesn't work.

And that's why I decided to just reinstall everything.

Just download the deb and install them in this order:
- fpc
- fpc-src
- lazarus

That works for me in Ubuntu 16.04.

[ursatempest]

Download from repo, or as .deb files?

Thanks!

[lainz]

I downloaded from sourceforge.

[ursatempest]

I don't see any .deb on /3.0.0/, though? Just .tar and folder marked RPM?

[JuhaManninen]

Lazarus project provides single .deb packages for both FPC and Lazarus.
See the "Download Now" button in here:

Problems with Ubuntu repo packages has been reported also earlier.

I would recommend you switch to another Linux distro. Actually I wonder why so many people use Ubuntu while there are many choices available. Clever marketing from Canonical I guess.
