@DonAflredo:
Just got this error when trying to install FPC stable + Laz stable on my Debian Jessie x86_64:

I have selected stable for both FPC and Laz, CPU x8664 and OS Linux then Start regular fpcup.

Edit: I am on KDE, could it be the problem?

Added fpcdeluxe for Mac (as rar-file):

[DonAlfredo]

@MementoMojito
Thanks for the info. I will try to reproduce !

But, in the meantime, would you mind to try fixes ?
Fixes is, in most cases, better than stable.
And for FPC fixes, it will be release soon (I hope).

[MementoMojito]

\o/

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. SUCCESS: Fpclazupdeluxe ended without errors.
2.  

Just to know, Fixes is Stables + the fixes released since?
Also let me know if you need any more info to repro with Stable.

[DonAlfredo]

Yes. Fixes is the latest stable release with bugfixes that have been discovered after its release.
In general, I prefer fixes, even when not yet released.

[MementoMojito]

Ok thanks.
So I have just tried to install some modules but here is what I get:

The error is clear : you need libXtst (or libXtst-dev).

@all
About 64 bit -> 32 bit ... see this (bug-) report:

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29892
http://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-pascal/2016-March/047298.html

So it's not possible! registered in the bugtracker in 2007, and still today is not possible.

[MementoMojito]

Sorry for coming back only now but I couldn't install any modules after it was broken due to the missing lib.
I would get this error all the time:

So I have tried to reinstall FPC and Lazarus by unselecting all the modules and running Fixes but it would fail for the same reasons so I have had to manually remove my fpcupdelux folder from my home folder then reinstall it with the modules and it worked.

1. ERROR: Broken dependency: bgragames 1.0->BGRABitmapPack4LCL_OpenGL

I need to fix that. Thanks for reporting. Just don't install bgragames.

Edit: It was already fixed on git. Don't use anymore the svn of: BGRABitmap, BGRAControls, BGRAGames, these are outdated! Please use GitHub only from now.

[DonAlfredo]

The list of modules is long. The list of FPC versions and Lazarus versions is also long.
More often than not you will encounter errrors with modules (packages) due to non-compatible versions.

Naturally, you should always have the method of removing the packages through Lazarus itself.
This would be easier than installing everything new. (install/uninstall packages)

As a last resort, you can always remove the config_lazarus directory and rebuild all with fpcupdeluxe.
Nothing will be downloaded. The install should be again pristine (I hope).

@lainz : I will update !!

[MementoMojito]

@lainz: No problem at all and sorry if it was misleading

@DonAlfredo: Thanks for the hints I am a total newb regarding fpcup as it's the very first time I am using it as you could quite obviously notice. However, I will test the trunk and will let you know if you are interested into getting feedbacks for Debian with KDE?

Edit: The compilation just finished it's all good for Trunk.

[minesadorada]

This is a great effort!
Everything worked for me except the cross-install from Linux64 -> Linux32 (which is a problem I have with a regular install on my system - Puppy Linux 64-bit)

Some suggestions for the GUI (tested in linux):

The main window title could be 'Lazarus and Freepascal installer and updater'

The buttons [Start fpcup, fpc only ] and [Start regular fpcup] would be better labelled
[Install or update fpc] and [Install or update Lazarus] I think.

For first time use,
1. An information dialog at startup would be handy. The GUI looks overwhelming for a beginner running it for the first time.
2. (Linux) After installing Lazarus, an info dialog showing how to run Lazarus (e.g. location of startlazarus)  or.. Is it possible to make a desktop icon?
2a. or.. Maybe even a button to start Lazarus from your GUI

The scrolling textwindow - does it always need to be shown, or could it be an option?  For a beginner, it's not really useful other than to show that something is happening.
A simple modal dialog showing the action in progress (i.e. Downloading, Copying files, Installing etc) would look better and be just as useful. (I did spot the labels, but a dialog looks more.. GUI-like)

Would it be possible to capture only error messages to a logfile, so that the user could have a better idea of what went wrong?

The group of buttons at the bottom: Could the group panel have the caption 'Install or Update'?

I hope you don't mind me giving unasked-for suggestions!

I am already loving this utility 

Once all the bugs are out, the Lazarus team should consider including this on their main page IMO. fpcupdeluxe is a country mile better than their regular installer.  Perhaps it could be offered as the 'Advanced installer and Updater'?

Hello Afred,

Very nice tool!

Can you make the font size of the command output memo a little larger? The window title in the attached screensont is the correct font size on my 125% Win 7 system.

More importantly, is it possible to use a proxy? I'm experiencing the
