Lazarus Release 2.2.2

[tetrastes]

Yes, that's the exactly the point which I do not understand: From Win64 to Linux64 -> same architecture, so both do not have Extended. But it doesn't work anyway 

Linux 64 bit has Extended, quote from https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/refsu5.html#x27-310003.1.2:

the extended type is available on all Intel x86 processors, except on the Windows 64-bit platform

[piola]

Okay...  I do understand even less now

I thought it was a the AMD64 architecture to lack support for 80bit-floats, but it's obviously the Win64 libraries which do not provide 80bit-float API functions. Is this the correct interpretation?

So if I go back to using 32bit-Lazarus, I should be able to cross-compile both for Win64 and Linux64, right?

One approach that might be easier. Use VirtualBox on your windows machine, make a Linux VM for it and call that your "release VM", from there you can pretty easily compile Linux32/64 and Windows32/64 (and Raspberry Pi etc ).  Having that VM there set aside for the final build and test is good too.

My build and package script https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy-ng/blob/master/package/package.bash needs a fair bit of infrastructure around it and it does require the final Inno Setup stage done on Windows but it does make the release very easy. To setup the cross compilers see https://wiki.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling .

I suggest if you need more help, probably should open a new forum thread, its not really an Lazarus issue (its a FPC one)and certainly not Lazarus 2.2.2. one.

In fact you can use FPU through assembler by hand to use Extended float on Windows x64,
but I don't know why MS don't like FPU while Linux x64 use it.

Many thanks to the lazarus developers!!

Another thank you and expression of appreciation for all the hard work the team consistently puts into making Lazarus ever better.

Hi,
I'm using lazarus in portable mode on a USB key.
Before installation, I create in the directory dedicated to lazarus a file named "lazarus.cfg" containing these values ​​"--primary-config-path=e:\lazarus_2.2.2\lazconfig".
When I add the installation package "sqlite3laz", and the application recompiles, I get an error message when I launch it (see the attachment). Is this normal?
With version 2.2.0, I didn't have it.
Thank you

1. Error 0x7b
2. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Do you have the sqlite dll installed (matching 64/32 bit depending on what Lazarus bit-ness you have?

[folkeu08]

Hi Martin_fr,
You have right. It's a new install and the dll is not present
I add a line in my tuto to install on a usb Stick.
Very thanks.

Luckily I noticed this and added the line in 59eeb39742. Will be merged to fixes branch.

Configuration path error for fppkg is still not fixed.

My Lazarus path is (for secondary installation):
D:\Windows\Programy\lazarus\

Config path is (for secondary installation):
D:\Windows\Programy\lazarus\config\

Fppkg still save configuration file to local file:
C:\Users\---\AppData\Local\FreePascal\fppkg\fppkg.cfg

Correct configuration file must be:
D:\Windows\Programy\lazarus\config\fppkg.cfg

Please fix it, this is issue for it:
