[Lazarus] Screwed up Lazarus installation - how to make clean and start over?
I was trying to nail down the reason for the fppkg errors on start of Lazarus 2.2.4. I had the install running fine except for the Config screen showing up on every start of Lazarus with an error message about fppkg... So I proceeded to install my usual set of packages from OLPM, but when I had selected the set I usually install and it was done and asked about rebuilding Lazarus it did so and at the end closed itself and did not re-appear! Now I cannot start Lazarus at all I tried to move the pcp dir away but it did not work either and starting with an empty pcp dir does also not work. So I tried to start over by going to the Lazarus dir and issue make clean, but that did also not work: ~/dev/lazarus/2.2.4 $ make clean Makefile:234: *** The Makefile doesn't support target can't-executed,, please run fpcmake first. Stop. What would be the correct procedure now to start over? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

I can only say that in lazarus my "fppkg configuration file" setting is empty, if I invoke "fppkg list" from the command line it works both under windows and linux, though under linux it shows that the installed rtl is 3.2.0 (even if I'm using fpc 3.2.2).

The result is *exactly the same* as what I have described above: when I first start Lazarus 3.2.2 the customize dialog pops up where I have to configure various parts of the system: Lazarus: /home/pi/dev/lazarus/2.2.4/ Fpc: /home/pi/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppcarm Fpc sources: /home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2 Make: /usr/bin/make Debugger: /usr/bin/gdb Fppkg: /home/pi/.config/fppkg.cfg (from the dropdown selector) The bottom pane shows this message: File: /home/pi/.config/fppkg.cfg Error: there is a problem with the Fppkg configuration. (Fppkg reports that the RTL is not installed.) You could try to restore the configuration files automatically, or adapt the configuration file manually. At this point I can start the IDE and it looks pretty much normal. Close Lazarus and open it again and I am back at the Config dialog with a stated error about the Fppkg item. My procedure for installing is this: 1. Build freepascal: Install various dependencies first: sudo apt install -y libx11-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev gir1.2-coglpango-1.0 libpangox-1.0-dev xorg-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev sudo apt install -y freetds-dev gdb copy ppcarm version 3.2.0 from another RPi to $HOME/dev/fpc Then: cd $HOME/dev/fpc wget https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/archive/release_3_2_2/source-release_3_2_2.tar.gz tar -xvf source-release_3_2_2.tar.gz mv source-release_3_2_2 3.2.2 cd 3.2.2 make clean FPC="$HOME/dev/fpc/ppcarm" make all FPC="$HOME/dev/fpc/ppcarm" make install PREFIX="$HOME" FPC="$HOME/dev/fpc/3.2.2/compiler/ppcarm" rm "$HOME/bin/ppcarm" ln -sf "$HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppcarm" "$HOME/bin/ppcarm" make sourceinstall PREFIX="$HOME" FPC="$HOME/bin/ppcarm" $HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2/samplecfg $HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2 $HOME mv "$HOME/fpc.cfg" "$HOME/.fpc.cfg" 2. Build Lazarus cd $HOME/dev/lazarus wget https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/archive/lazarus_2_2_4/lazarus-lazarus_2_2_4.tar.gz tar xvf lazarus-lazarus_2_2_4.tar.gz mv lazarus-lazarus_2_2_4 2.2.4 cd 2.2.4 make clean time make bigide strip -s lazarus mkdir -p $HOME/.lazarus_2.2.4 3. Create desktop file to launch Lazarus: - nano $HOME/.local/share/applications/lazarus_2.2.4.desktop Add this to the file: [Desktop Entry] Comment=Lazarus IDE 2.2.4 Terminal=false Name=Lazarus 2.2.4 Exec=/home/pi/dev/lazarus/2.2.4/startlazarus --pcp=/home/pi/.lazarus_2.2.4 %f Type=Application Icon=/home/pi/dev/lazarus/2.2.4/images/ide_icon48x48.png Categories=Application;IDE;Development;GTK;GUIDesigner;Programming; NoDisplay=false Keywords=editor;Pascal;IDE;FreePascal;fpc;Design;Designer; At this point the start menu "Programming" submenu contains the "Lazarus 2.2.4" item and Lazarus can be launched. Any ideas what has gone wrong? And please note that unlike on Linux (source install as above) I have installed Lazarus 2.2.4 on Windows using the official installer from SourceForge and the exact same thing happens... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

This is just terrible! >From now on one has to view the error dialog every time one starts Lazarus? And nothing can be done about it? As I said I have used many Linux and Windows systems all with multiple installs of different versions of Lazarus and FPC and it has all worked well regarding launching the IDE. Never anything like this happened before. And the problem is not even on a single new install but on every install I do both using the Wiondows installer and building from sources. >The IDE will work fine without it. >It' only needed if you need some of the few packages that are only avail >via fppkg (though you can download them by hand anyway) I have never been aware of this before and it has just worked. I am not doing any fancy installs just first the basic installation and then use OLPM to install all of the extra packages I need (same list every time). Finally putting my own developed packages and utilities on each system as well. I have never even been aware of the fppkg program or its use. And with a new release I usually just make a parallel installation using pcp functionality. >>> Try to delete the old config by hand. >>> Then -outside the IDE - use the latest (3.2.2) fppkg to create a new >>> config.

(fppkg is part of fpc) On Linux it is found here: /home/bosse/bin/fppkg Notice that this is a global location for my user. And on my Windows install here: C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\bin\x86_64-win64\fppkg.exe This is a Lazarus unique location for ver 2.2.4 and on Windows it is not on path... Still both installations behave the same. > >If you just run it >fppkg >it should create a config file (if none exists). Yes it creates a new cnf file identical to the old renamed file. But still my new Lazarus won't start cleanly, whereas 2.0.12 starts just fine on Winddows as well as on Linux. No popup error message anywhere to be seen... >It is not about the lazarus version, but different fpc versions. >In my case (but maybe I was lucky) the older fpc didn't complain > I have used Lazarus since a long time, on my Windows 10 PC I have versions: 2.0.6, 2.0.8, 2.0.10, 2.0.12 and 2.2.4 All of these have their own fpc compiler installed with them in their own directory trees and it has worked just fine up until this newest version 2.2.4 broke it. And it does the same on both Linux and Windows!!! So it is definitely about the Lazarus version 2.2.4! I might try and put it on a Raspberry Pi4 just to check this... One that I have access to has 7 different Lazarus versions with the latest being 2.0.12 and FPC versions are 3.0.4 and 3.2.0 and it uses the pcp dir functionality to allow the multiple installs of different Lazarus versions. I will do this when I get the time later... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
