Hi, After a couple of years away I am trying to pick up Lazarus again. Have to admit I seem to have lost a lot of the things I was at least somewhat knowledgeable in. Ah, well, I keep on trying...
One of those things has to do with rebuilding the IDe after adding components. There's two things I can't seem to grasp. The first has to do with lpk files. I'd like to add AnchorDocking, but when I look in /usr/lib/lazarus/1.2.4/components/anchordocking/design I do not see a lpk file. Am I missing something? Or is my version of Lazarus not complete? I am using lazarus as installed by the package manger on a current Debian testing system. The other thing pops up when I want to rebuild the IDE. Building project is no problem (well, that is for the simple projects I tried 'til now). I get an error that the file staticpackages.inc can not be found. It does however exist in my ~/.lazarus directory and has proper rights. So I am thinking paths. But what path do I need to configure in the options dialog? I found some article on the problem with Linux systems and the impossibility of writing outside of your own home directory and thought it might have to do something with that. So I tried "startlazarus', but that does not seem to change anything (as far as I can see). The error message about still pops up. Can someone please enlighten me? I'd appreciate it very much. I did try the site and the wiki, but maybe my search foo is lacking or I might be too dense, because I did not find pointers there that helped me solve this. Thanks!
