Hello, I guess I have fixed the problem with the dependency. In fact "lazarus-project" is a package downloaded on Lazarus site to get latest version, but that's not the one in the Debian distribution. So I replaced it with "lcl" and it seems to compile.
I don't know if using pbuilder matters nor what pbuilder is. What I found when looking about packages was using debuild. https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/Intro -- Johann ELSASS [email protected] On Wed, Sep 9, 2020, at 10:10 PM, Tobias Frost wrote: > On Wed, Sep 09, 2020 at 11:23:17AM +0200, Johann ELSASS wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I have made a repository with everything in it.
