Providing *.deb files for RaspberryPi Linux

[Bi0T1N]

I will check out Docker which looks interesting, but right now I'm trying to get free of the magic (that has served me very well for a long time, I should add!)

I've just created a minimal example based on the Build Lazarus from Source wiki information and the Makefile to create a Docker container based on latest official FPC release.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
2. ##
3. ## Configuration
4. ##
5. # set Ubuntu release version (latest, focal, bionic, ...)
6. ARG UBUNTU_VERSION=focal
7. # set FPC version (format: d.d.d)
8. ARG FPC_VERSION=3.2.2
9.  
10.  
11. ##
12. ## Compile lazbuild of Lazarus 2.2.6
13. ##
14. FROM freepascal/fpc:${FPC_VERSION}-${UBUNTU_VERSION}-full
15. WORKDIR /tmp
16. # docker buildx variables
17. ARG TARGETPLATFORM
18. ARG BUILDPLATFORM
19. # install git, clone sourcecode, compile lazbuild
20. RUN set -eux \
21.     && apt-get update \
22.     && apt-get install -y git \
23.     && apt-get clean \
24.     && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
25.     && echo "Installing Lazarus for ${TARGETPLATFORM} on ${BUILDPLATFORM}." \
26.     # get sources from git repository
27.     && git clone --depth 1 --branch lazarus_2_2_6 https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git \
28.     && cd lazarus* \
29.     # compile
30.     #&& make bigide # requires more packages and a full widgetset
31.     && make lazbuild

I'm not sure what you can build with it and if it's really useful as I only used Lazarus on a full desktop environment so far. Thus someone with more experience in that should help if we want to get a fully working Docker image

Docker to the rescue!

I personally would not call it "rescue" but yes it is also a possibility

See lazbuild wiki entry to get some idea.

It allows you to build/compile the source-code from Lazarus aplication (lpr files) and (lpk) packages from the command line (provided that your Lazarus configuration is setup correctly)
