Where is fpc trunk 40706 ?
« on: August 18, 2023, 05:14:34 pm »
I am trying to install Lazarus and fpc on my Rock 5A board, with an ARM RK3588s processor.
There are no precompiled binaries for this processor, so I have to build from source.
During this, I receive the error that db unit is not found during the make bigide of lazarus.
In some forum I have read that this is corrected in trunk 40706 of fpc.
The problem is that I am a very Linux novice, and do not know where to find that trunk of fpc...

Could please somebody point me to it, preferably with a direct link ?
Thanks in advance
Fred

Why not use the very latest version of trunk then.

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source.git
Best is to use git to clone the repository.
Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]
  1. git clone https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source.git fpc
(I don't think FPC works with the old revision numbering anymore.)

How are you going to build from source?

During this, I receive the error that db unit is not found during the make bigide of lazarus.
In some forum I have read that this is corrected in trunk 40706 of fpc.
Not sure if those problems are related.
And if you are advised to download a very old version of trunk, I wonder if that advise is still sane.

Solved. Cloned from gitlab the latest release of fpc, make and sudo make install.
Now lazarus  3.0RC1 builds without errors with fpc 3.2.2

But now I have another problem, I get errors during the rebuild of lazarus when trying to install a new user component...but for this I will make a new post in the relevant sector of the forum.
