Fpcupdeluxe

[DonAlfredo]

I would suggest to use FPC fixes (the future FPC 3.2.4).
Its in very good shape. And is not as unstable as FPC trunk.

Sidenote.
As Lazarus stable is now at 3.2, I will release (next hours/days) a new version of fpcupdeluxe that will use 3.2 as stable version for Lazarus.

I use it, I maintain 2 installation ( fpc-fixes with lazarus release & fpc trunk with lazarus release).
I need the trunk to compile for aarch64-freebsd.

Thank you.

Hi DonAlfredo,

If I am using fpcdeluxe, how can I specify the exact commits of the Lazarus, the FPC, and the Third Party libraries being compiled, as well as know the directories they are being saved to before the compilation starts?

My problem is I need to compile some of the older FCL/RTL libraries with a newer compiler and this means I have to do two separate checkouts of the compilers, then replace some of the directories of the newer versions  with those from the  older sources.

This means being able to handle the download process separately from the compiler phase. Can fpcdeluxe be run in separate stages to enable this?

The other option would be to prepare my own repos or download locations (eg ftp or http) with the commits and directories I want, then point fpcdeluxe to those repos and locations.

Do the dialogs enable this?

Open Setup+ on the rigth upper side you can set the branch and commit for fpc and Lazarus seperated. Works like charm if you want to pin something

Edit: You can also define private patches, wich are automatic applied, if you want only have a hotfix in some files

Thx. I'll look into that.

Hello,

Using v2.4.0d build 492 on Raspberry Pi 4 64 bit (aarch64)
Trying to build fpc - trunk and lazarus - trunk and I get error during lazarus ide build as follows

Code: [Select]

Error: /home/pi/fpcupdeluxe/fpc/bin/aarch64-linux/ppca64 can't be executed, error message: Failed to execute "/home/pi/fpcupdeluxe/fpc/bin/aarch64-linux/ppca64", error code: -9

I don't know what is -9 error code mean. I checked and mentined file exists, execute just fine. So, error must be something else.

I cannot be sure if this is a fpcupdeluxe issue or something else.

Any help is appreciated.

[DonAlfredo]

This is not an fpcupdeluxe issue.
FPC trunk is not working very well at the moment when targeting aarch64. Fixes are pending. Might be solved in the next few days.
However, for the moment, you might try to add -O1 when compiling FPC, as this issue might be caused by a wrong optimization.

[ertank]

Thanks.
I didn't used compiler overrides before. Is the attached setting will be enough?

[DonAlfredo]

Not correct. You are native compiling, not cross-compiling.
Just put -O1 into FPC options.

[ertank]

I set FPC option as -O1 I still see below log lines passing through and I am not sure if this is OK.
I mean there is still -O2 in ppc1 parameters.

[ertank]

I could complete both fpc and lazarus using -O1 for fpc and using fixes for both fpc and lazarus
Thank you for your support.

[TRon]

If I am using fpcdeluxe, how can I specify the exact commits of the Lazarus, the FPC, and the Third Party libraries being compiled, as well as know the directories they are being saved to before the compilation starts?

I have exactly the same question with regards to the bolded items. Why ? Because I can manually build Lazarus 3.2 with a particular compiler revision but FPCUp fails when trying to do the same thing:

Code: [Select]

So, it seems there is something deviating from the standard makefile(s).

edit: Found It ! Manipulating ini files without any guide is the way to go ... let's see if we manage to crash things 
edit2: Why using ini files if you don't use them (or at least not honor the settings) ? Ergo my question still stands.

What a strange error from this build: fpc-trunk, lazarus 3.2 release.

Yes, the error appears when building Lazarus 3.2 release with FPC trunk. I have the same thing on/for Linux x86-64. and fwiw it is not related to FPCUpDeluxe 

[parcel]

Use revision 277a3be9 for FPC trunk, it's lastest stable FPC trunk. i386-win32 implemention checksum problem is introduced by !594, it doesn't solve yet.
DEBUG_UNIT_CRC_CHANGES define on fpc compiling, you can observe details.
