Zitat von Pino Zollo <[email protected]>:
Hi to the list,
I am just a beginner with lazarus....
I have installed it on my Debian 5.01....first fpc an then I have compiled
lazarus from sources copied in /usr/src/lazarus.
A note in general, not only for lazarus: this is uncommon. You can
install software to /usr/... But you compile software as normal user
in in your home directory, in any sub directory you like for example
/home/username/lazarus.
It happens that all goes fine if I run lazarus as root (deprecated by Debian)
You should not run lazarus as root. Lazarus is a development tool and
therefore lets you run buggy/untested software.
from /usr/src/lazarus...I can compile examples and run them.
If you want to compile an example, copy it to your home directory.
I can even install new components and they appear into the IDE.
You can install components as normal user too.
The problem rises if I run lazarus as normal user.
Having made "make install" now I have /usr/local/bin/lazarus-ide
available to all users .
If I run /usr/local/bin/lazarus-ide I have a hell of problems:
Units are not found anymore when compiling examples:
For any subdir I have to add into fpc.cfg a new entry -uF ....
Please undo these modifications to fpc.cfg. Normally you don't need to
edit fpc.cfg. I myself never touch fpc.cfg, except for linker
tools/paths.
When lazarus rebuilds for a new components it does it to the
original /usr/src/lazarus but then it is /usr/local/bin/lazarus-ide
that is restarted....so I do not see any change into the IDE.
The IDE is just a single binary. You can set the lazarus directory
under environment / options / files / lazarus directory
I have tried to compile lazarus as a normal user having the sources
in /home/myuser/lazarus but this does not succeed.
This is the normal way.
Maybe you copied the directory /usr/share/lazarus to
/home/myuser/lazarus? Then the permissions and ownerships were copied
too. You can change the ownership with:
chown myuser.myuser -R /home/myuser/lazarus
1. Fix your fpc.cfg
2. Fix the ownership of /home/myuser/lazarus
3. remove the files in /home/myuser/.lazarus/
4. compile lazarus with
cd /home/myuser/lazarus
make clean all
5. start lazarus with
./lazarus
You can setup a desktop item with path
/home/myuser/lazarus/lazarus
