error on make svn

[mbohn]

I get the following error when trying to make an svn:

Compiling ./widgetset/wslclclasses.pp
Compiling lclclasses.pp
imglist.pp(160,14) Error: There is no method in an ancestor class to be overridden: "TCustomImageList.Equals(TObject):Boolean;"

make[1]: *** [alllclunits.ppu] Error 1

make: *** [lcl] Error 2
mark@mark-laptopXP:~/Lazarus$

Any ideas?

I've followed the wiki

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Getting_Lazarus#Development_versions_from_SVN

[Bart]

Which Lazarus revision?
Which fpc version?

Bart

[mbohn]

How do I tell that from the downloaded svn?

Ubuntu 9.10


BTW, after that problem came up, I repeated the procedure for my Mac and the whole thing went perfectly.  So I don't think the problem on Linux is due to not following the wiki instructions.

[Marc]

lazarus revision: svn info
fpcversion: ppc386 -iW

[mbohn]

svn info:
svn: '.' is not a working copy
ppc386 -iW:
2.5.1

[Bart]

I suppose you used svn to obtain the sources?

cd to the root of the lazarus sources that you obtained with svn
there should be a directory .svn in this directory

Code: [Select]

bart@simenon:~/svnroot/lazarus> ls -al

Yes, I used SVN per the wiki instructions I quoted earlier.

There is no .svn directory on my entire file system.  Nor is there a svnroot directory.

[Marc]

svnroot is a dirname you choose yourself. ie the name of the dir where you want to checkout the files. If you have used svn, tehn you have a .svn dir. Pleas note that files starting with a . are hidden, so a normal ls doesn't show them. ls -a does.

[Vincent Snijders]

mbohn, make sure that your fpc 2.5.1 version is up to date, i.e. from the same date as your lazarus svn version.

The only fpc 2.5.1 more or less guaranteed to compile is svn HEAD, what you get after an svn up.

Thanks for straightening me out on that.  Here are the results Bart asked for:

[Marc]

now that we this have sorted out, back to your problem.
Vincent has a point, make sue you're using a recent fpc trunk (of you want to use fpc trunk)
And if you have lazarus compiled with an older trunk fpc, always do a make clean first in the lazarus dir, to make sure old and invalid ppu's are removed.

[mbohn]

I noticed from the wiki that it first explains how to get the Lazarus svn and how to compile it.  Later on it tells you to first install the fpc svn. So, I've deleted the Lazarus svn and started on the fpc svn.

The command

Code: [Select]

svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpcworked fine.

Then those directions tell you to

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libgpmg1-dev fakeroot libncurses5-dev build-essential which also worked well but it sounds like everything was already the newest version.

Then the directions say:
Go into your lazarus source directory. The directory must be writable.

Code: [Select]

cd ~/freepascal/lazarus/tools/install
./create_fpc_deb.sh fpc ~/freepascal/fpc
There is no lazarus source directory, as I said before I removed it.  The directions tell you only later to download the lazarus svn.


go to "your lazarus directory" and then cd ~/freepascal/lazarus/tools/install
./create_fpc_deb.sh fpc ~/freepascal/fpc

But there is no such directory.

[Vincent Snijders]

The first question should be:
What exactly do you want? Both fpc and lazarus development version (unstable) or just lazarus development version (unstable).

[mbohn]

This all got started after I submitted a bug report:

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15383

The last entry in that was a link to the svn from Mattias so I interpreted that to mean I needed to download the svn to fix the original problem described in the bug report.

[Vincent Snijders]

OK, that is clear.

What I would do is this:
Install the latest lazarus release using the package manager, so you get all the dependencies right and have a working fpc 2.2.4. Make sure that fpc -iV returns fpc 2.2.4.

Then, in your home directory (/home/mbohn/) do:

Code: [Select]

cd /home/mbohn
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
cd lazarus
make bigide
./lazarus --pcp=/home/mbohn/.lazarus-svn
