Using fpc trunk:
(In the following:
APPDIR=C:\Users\Jesus\AppData\Local\FreePascal\fppkg
BINDIR=c:\Users\Jesus\dev\fpcbin\bin\i386-win32
)
BINDIR>fppkg listsettings
Warning: Configuration file is in an old format
So it is not reading a file that has just been generated.
Warning: Failed to write compiler-configuration file
And is does not have write-permissions on the file
LocalRepository: "{AppConfigDir}" -> "APPDIR\"
How can AppConfigDir resolve to "APPDIR"?
I experimented with several Downloader settings, the important one,
'base' IIRC, doesn't work as it tries to download some files, it gets
redirected to a https link that failes because there is no openssl
support and it instructs to include some unit and recompile. This I
found it by debugging, this is nowhere reported.
I noticed that it tries to download some files: mirrors.xml and
packages.xml and someway I manually downloaded the files and put them
where it supposed to find them, yet it will not work.
These files store a list of available packages, but here the main issue
is that it can not find the installed packages.
The first issue I found is that the setup dialog for fppkg doesn't look
for a fppkg executable, it expects the install directory where is fpc
supposed to be installed, I guess in order to use that for locating the
right fppkg executable. I expect this to work as is only on released
Lazarus because it tries to find the fpc executable by using the PATH
environment dirs. This means that it doesn't matter what you choose in
the setup Lazarus dialog as your desired compiler. I think this is the
first thing that needs fixing. The rest should come after that.
Fppkg also has a library, which Lazarus uses to list all available
packages. So the 'fppkg'-executable is not called. (This changes when
the fppkg-packagemanager is installed) And you and Martok are right, we
have to find a way to solve problems with the proper configuration file
being used.
But in your case, Lazarus should create a 'local' configuration file in
your user-profile, that should 'override' the global configuration file.
This ain't happening, it seems.
I've addded some tests around fpcmkcfg, and an error-message when it
fails to write one of those configuration-files, with the full path.
Could you retry?
Regards,
Joost.
