Not sure how far back this goes because I only update ever few days, but I
cannot run this version, after a clean build, lazarus begins to start, shows
the splash screen and the lazarus editor window and freezes (nothing ever
gets painted IN the editor window).
On the shell the last output is:
TMainIDE.DoNewEditorFile A Filename=
Thereafter absolutely nothing happens, I did an strace but I couldn´t figure
out what it was trying to do, just that it didn´t actually do anything beyond
that point.
At first I thought it was just my home machine but now I have the same result
at the office. Obviously I cannot try to do the font stuff until this
happens, it could mean some new incompatibility with openlab
(I did test - removing $HOME/.lazarus had no impact nor does trying to run it
as root), though I wouldn´t know where to start looking, let me know if I can
provide any usefull information like LDD outputs or something.
Note that at this stage we are just talking about a clean make, no GTK2 or
anything yet, not even any extra packages.
