Lazarus Release 3.6

It seems that 3.2 was broken release for me with KDE Neon and Ryzen. Now Neon also have new release, thus I will see...

However, I needed to install Lazarus from ground and reload packages. Otherwise it refuses to compile with existed updated config file.

The Debian package of Lazarus is not installable on Debian 11: dpkg exits with this error message:

Code: [Select]

uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving upWorkaround: repack it with a script.

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. #!/bin/sh
2. mkdir -p pkgtemp/DEBIAN
3. ar x "$1"
4. rm "$1" debian-binary
5. tar --zstd -xf control.tar.zst
6. rm control.tar.zst
7. mv conffiles control pkgtemp/DEBIAN/
8. tar --zstd -xf data.tar.zst
9. rm data.tar.zst
10. mv etc usr pkgtemp/
11. dpkg-deb -b pkgtemp "$1"
12. rm -rf pkgtemp
13.  

This way the dpkg in Debian 11 will be able to install the package too. As a side effect the package will be smaller by ~7% (~10 MB).And after that, Lazarus does not work anymore.

Code: [Select]

startlazarus: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by startlazarus)

Code: [Select]

lazarus-ide: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by lazarus-ide)

The packages are probably being built on newer versions of Debian. The packagers need to build for Debian 11 and earlier if needed.

I got the same error when I tried to install the current version of libQtPas on a Debian 11 system and had to use the same workaround.

Debian 11 also depends on earlier glibc-2.31.

Is is me or is something broken ?

host: linux x86_64

build: make clean bigide

building lazarus with FPC 3.2.3 using my script results in:

[dbannon]

works OK for me. Its here -

Code: [Select]

93   ModalResultStr: array[mrNone..mrLast] of shortstring = (
 94     'mrNone',
 95     'mrOk',
 96     'mrCancel',
 97     'mrAbort',
 98     'mrRetry',
 99     'mrIgnore',
100     'mrYes',
101     'mrNo',
102     'mrAll',
103     'mrNoToAll',
104     'mrYesToAll',
105     'mrClose'
106     {$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>=30203}
107     ,                                                   // This line, this comma !
108     'mrContinue',
109     'mrTryAgain'
110     {$ENDIF}
111     );
Code looks fine too !  Is your mrLast set to the 'wrong' value somehow ?  Maybe where ever it is defined needs recompile, its sensitive to the FPV322->FPC323 upgrade.

Thank you very much for the feedback dbannon.

Seems to be an issue at my side but I am a bit confused (nothing that a re-build can't fix).

According to the date my FPC 3.2.3 is from august 7th 2024 though the contents of the corresponding system.uitypes shows:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. mrNone = 0;
2.   mrOK = mrNone + 1;
3.   mrCancel = mrNone + 2;
4.   mrAbort = mrNone + 3;
5.   mrRetry = mrNone + 4;
6.   mrIgnore = mrNone + 5;
7.   mrYes = mrNone + 6;
8.   mrNo = mrNone + 7;
9.   mrAll = mrNone + 8;
10.   mrNoToAll = mrNone + 9;
11.   mrYesToAll = mrNone + 10;
12.   mrClose = mrNone + 11;
13.   mrLast = mrClose;
14.  

and that does not match the code from gitlab (e.g. missing the two extra entries  mrContinue and mrTryAgain). Gitlab also shows that this particular file has not been touched (inside fixes) since February 12th 2024.

Ergo you are correct with your hunch there Davo. Having it mentioned put me on the right track so that it was easy to find. Thx for that.

So... something seems to be off with the (actual) date from my current FPC 3.2.3 install. The confusing part is that I don't know why/how.

For anyone reading this, consider the issue fixed and sorry for the noise.
I have to upheld my report. Neither fixes 3_2 nor 3.2.3 is able to compile Lazarus 3.6. next attempt is reverting back to 3.2.2

[dbannon]

OK, I am using FPC release_3_2_4-branch. Now, I believe that that is almost the same as Fixes_3_2 and that is almost the same as FPC 3.2.3.  But, it seems, the key word here is "almost".

I suggest you try release_3_2_4-branch, aka release_3_2_4-branch-rc1

Thank you very much for the suggestion dbannon. That version indeed seem to build Lazarus as intended.

In the meanwhile I figured out that the failure to build Lazarus 3.6 with FPC fixes (3.3.1) was due to a caching issue at my side.

in order to make Lazarus 3.6 able to be build with FPC 3.2.3 (3.2.2 fixes):

Code: [Select]

    sed -i -e 's/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>=30203}/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>30203}/g' "./src/lazarus/components/lazutils/graphtype.pp"
    sed -i -e 's/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>=30203}/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>30203}/g' "./src/lazarus/components/lazutils/uitypes.pas"
    sed -i -e 's/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>=30203}/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>30203}/g' "./src/lazarus/lcl/controls.pp"
    sed -i -e 's/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION >= 30203}/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>30203}/g' "./src/lazarus/lcl/controls.pp"

    sed -i -e 's/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>=30203}/{$IF FPC_FULLVERSION>30203}/g' "./src/lazarus/lcl/graphics.pp"
    sed -i -e 's/{$if FPC_FullVersion < 30203}/{$if FPC_FullVersion <= 30203}/g' "./src/lazarus/lcl/lazcanvas.pas"
    sed -i -e 's/{$IF FPC_FullVersion < 30203}/{$IF FPC_FullVersion <= 30203}/g' "./src/lazarus/lcl/lazcanvas.pas"

EDIT:
Problem solved: 3.2.3 in repo <> FPC fixes _3_2

Awesome! And 4.0 is around the corner. Thanks, Lazarus team, for this awesome IDE!
