Why Can't I compile Lazarus??

[naums]

I tried several times to compile Lazarus but it never works on Linux. On Windows it works properly, but not on Linux. The error, which is FPC put out is:

/usr/lib/lazarus/examples/hello.pp(31,1) Error: Can't create object file: units/i386-linux/hello.o
/usr/lib/lazarus/examples/hello.pp(31,1) Error: Can't create object units/i386-linux/hello.o

help me compile Lazarus with qt... (here I tried with GTK2)

Hi,
I have Kubuntu 9.04 (64bit) and Lazarus+FPC works well with both GTK2 and Qt.
My Lazarus is from SVN.
As I remember, there was no problem with GTK2, you can compile it with command:

Code: [Select]

make clean all and it works.
For Qt you need follow wiki http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Qt_Interface and links on this page.
When you have it, you can compile with command:

Code: [Select]

make PREFIX=/usr clean all LCL_PLATFORM=qt OPT="-dUSE_QT_45"OPT="-dUSE_QT_45" depends on your Qt version.

Do you have the rights to write to /usr/lib/lazarus/... ?

[naums]

I think so. Do you think I have to chmod 777 this?

I don't wanna cimpile it with the console but with the GUI of the Lazarus IDE. I don't know why, but the Source Code might be false? Is a new Installation of that senseful?

I think so. Do you think I have to chmod 777 this?

Yes or start lazarus as root (sudo or whatever).
Or install lazarus under your home dir.  (Ex. SVN version).

Lazarus compiled from source works well. I also think that the best way is download it to /home/username . You avoid all troubles with rigths (sudo etc.). Of course first time you have to compile from console. Once you have it installed, you can recompile it from GUI, for example when you update source code from SVN.

Here is a link http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus.

I'll first try it with chmod then I can get the "SVN" Version. What does SVN stands for? Source........????

[naums]

okay. it doesn't work. Where can I get the SVN Version and how can I compile and install it?

[naums]

And how can I compile it?

[Blaazen]

Use command "make clean all" in .../lazarus directory.
This will create executable binary "startlazarus".
Default widgetset is gtk2.

so I have to do:

cd /usr....(i dont know)/lazarus
make clean all

This are the errors that have been outputed.

You need a newer FPC version. I think 2.2.4 at least.

[naums]

I think I have 2.2.8

I'll try it with yours.
