One of the (few) other things I'm having trouble with is running
gtk-demo, but I was going to leave detailed investigation of that
until after I'd got compilation sorted out.
The situation appears to be that there are two distinct fontconfig
systems, e.g.
/usr/bin/fc-list
/etc/fonts.conf
and
/usr/local/bin/fc-list
/usr/local/etc/fonts.conf
Same on my system. Except that fonts.conf resides in
etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
When you install fontconfig (from SFW) it assumes fonts are installed in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts.
This is also the directory I find in /usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf.
But on
my system, as indicated earlier, this directory contains symlinks to the
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts subdirs.
The fact that you have different results as root and user is because you
adapted probably your PATH as user to include /usr/loc/bin. Which fc-list
gives you probably a different result as root and as user. If you run
/usr/local/bin/gtk-demo as root it will probably run.
I can confirm that is the case.
The simplest solution to your problem is to change or add the
<dir>/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts</dir> entry in
/usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
No, the simplest solution is
# pkgrm SMCfontc
Lazarus now running on SPARC Solaris, subject to an internal exception
that I'll investigate in the morning.
Using FPC 2.4.4 and compiling Lazarus with bigide:
Lazarus 0.9.30: runs but raises an internally-handled exception
("Illegal character in format string") when invoking the options dialogue.
Lazarus 0.9.30.1 (31593): as above. If a consistent ~/.lazarus directory
is supplied might be OK.
Lazarus 0.9.31 (31821, current trunk): as above, but since the FPC
sources directory etc. is prompted for by a dialogue at startup it's
able to build simple programs- I've not tried anything complex yet.
TApplication.HandleException Illegal character in format string

I don't see this one on Linux or Windows. I'll investigate a later
compiler, although the last time I did I hit a problem due to
conditionals in the Lazarus source being confused by the FPC version.
One positive thing that I can report is that lazbuild
--help returns
sensible output, even using the default (GNU?) linker.
The error came up when initialising the gtk+ engine...
Appears to be Intel-specific, unless it's caused by patches which are on
your system but not mine. Considering the discussion a week or so ago, I
suspect that the Intel-architecture SFW binutils has been crossbuilt on
a BSD system.
