Why do you build two times?
Why not simply svn up und rebuild the IDE via the IDE?
I think I know what the problem is, I also wondered what would be the
best solution for this and found nothing. The problem is the "build
lazarus" from within Lazarus is using a somehow different way to buil
it. From the console output it looks like "build lazarus" is *somehow*
making use of the same makefiles too but it is producing a different
result when running the same make target from the console.
I think with "build two times" when doing a fresh install (or after
fixing a broken unrunnable lazarus) he refers to:
svn checkout .... (or svn up -r <known_working> or otherwise fix
broken things)
make clean all <--- this is the first time
and then from the menu
./lazarus
Tools -> build lazarus <-- this is the second time.
Sorry, I missed the earlier messages.
I've just compiled 0.9.30.4rc, and I no longer see a problem. However
until comparatively recently if you got Lazarus using svn co (etc.)
and then did a make bigide with default settings, the first project
you built also recompiled a whole lot of underlying libraries.
Many thanks to whoever fixed this. However once aware of the issue I
didn't consider it to be a particularly big deal, more serious is any
requirement to rebuild the IDE "from inside" since on tight systems this
obviously depletes the resources available for the compiler and- in
particular- linker.
There should be a make target that does exactly the same as the menu
item "build lazarus", somehow the highly obscure make-voodoo that is
performed in the "build lazarus" menu command should also be
accessible from the console without having any working Lazarus binary.
I once tried to reverse-engineer what exactly is going on and how and
why calling the *same* make target would produce different outcomes
when called from within the IDE and the command line but eventually I
gave up.
If you want to build the IDE with packages use
lazbuild --build-ide=
What do you mean- like
lazbuild --build-ide=lazsvnpkg
as an alternative to make all ? In that case what's the basic package
list corresponding to bigide?
