I've got a number of machines here on which I've got a copy of FPC 2.4.2
which will build itself, which I think confers a reasonable level of
confidence on the compiler and libraries.
Where these machines are based on Linux, in most cases Debian "Etch" or
"Squeeze", I've also compiled Lazarus (currently 0.9.29 28906) without
problems. All paths are set up so that Lazarus can find the appropriate
compiler binary and sources, there's adequate disc space and on relevant
systems adequate RAM.
I've got absolutely no experience with fpGUI, until yesterday I'd never
attempted to use it so I've got no preexisting files or paths "hanging
around".
Using the instructions at
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpGUI_Interface i.e. with 3x
symlinks, I cannot add fpGUI to the available LCLs; the Lazarus message
window gives me
fpguiint.pp(42,12) Fatal: Can't find unit fpg_main used by fpguiint
I've checked file/directory ownership and access rights and can't see
anything wrong. I've also tried adding this as suggested by Graeme:
4) This is a temporary work-around until Lazarus is updated:
$ cd /home/graemeg/programming/fpgui/src
$ cp ./VERSION_FILE.inc corelib/
I've also tried make LCL_PLATFORM=fpgui lcl but it appeared to fail
silently.
I can build the UI designer using
cd <fpgui>/uidesigner
fpc @extrafpc.cfg uidesigner.lpr
or as a Lazarus project, but even after doing that I still can't build
the LCL.
All above relates to x86 Linux.
As noted, I've been tinkering with SPARC Solaris 10 and have an FPC
2.4.2 that can build itself (plus some but not all packages). However on
this I can't even build fpGUI using a command line (above) plus -vt,
eventually getting
Fatal: Can't find unit fpg_main used by uidesigner
Fatal: Compilation aborted
i.e. similar to what I see when trying to build LCL+fpGUI.
If nobody has any blinding revelations at this point I'd really rather
not push it. FPC appears to be working on Solaris 10 but Lazarus with
the standard LCL won't due to missing libraries. I'll investigate a
later Solaris presently but not immediately.
