I added it now, it compiles, but then I have the problem reported in the BGRAbitmap bugtracker (and I wonder why it compiled fine without the interfaces unit and the gtk2 widgetset). I "solved" the "too many libraries" problem using the nogui widgetset. It's a solution I'm not really comfortable with but it seems to work. I wonder why, back when when I originally wrote the program with lazarus 2.0.12, neither the "interfaces" unit was needed nor the project pulled so many libraries. Depends on what you use from BGRA and what that uses from the LCL. Most of the LCL requires the interfaces unit. Keep in mind that the nogui widgetset is for most part an empty stub.

Is there a way around it, other than executing the command manually? If you mean the project .res file: That is updated on save, which is independent of compile.

First of all, the fpc release units have no debug information, so normally there is nothing to pick. But if they have it would be super useful to have a setting "use the debug setting of the system unit", but there is not. You can add the -gw3 flag depending on build mode: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Compiler_Options#Add_a_flag_to_project_and_all_packages I thought that the problem was the "Use external debug symbols file (-Xg)" but even without that option I cannot step inside the LCL.

Re: [Lazarus] Can I rebuild Lazarus installed via apt on an RPi4B?
On 07.12.23 11:22, Bo Berglund via lazarus wrote: [...] Also looked at the /usr/bin dir and it is owned by root so no chance of installing as a user there... Yes, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard I thought that perhaps when running apt without sudo it would change install path to something inside the $HOME location, but apparently not... You can extract a debian package anywhere, but you can install it only as root to fixed folders. So how does this work? Lazarus tests before compiling a package if the output directory is writable and if not redirects to a sub directory of its config directory. This is a feature of the IDE and lazbuild. The makefiles do not support this, so a "make" fails. So to rebuild Lazarus from the command line I should use lazbuild, right? What arguments are needed for lazbuild? I looked here: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/lazbuild So will this be sufficient: lazbuild --build-ide="Normal IDE" --pcp="$HOME/.lazarus_2.2.6" --compiler=$HOME/bin/ppcarm Seeing all your experiments I don't know if it is sufficient for you. It sounds right. Although if you don't want to use the defaults, then I recommend to *not* install Lazarus from apt, but simply download the git, create a lazarus.cfg and "make clean all". ... If I use sudo apt install lazarus, will that also pull fpc as a dependency Yes. or should I use: sudo apt install fpc lazarus instead? And what about the lazarus sources, are they pulled in as well with the sudo apt install lazarus command? Yes. [...] I have been building Fpc/Lazarus from sources since many years, also tested fpcupdeluxe a few times. So getting/using the sources is known. I usually download the tarballs with a release tag from gitlab using wget. After I have built fpc and symlinked into $HOME/bin I build Lazarus like this: cd $HOME/devtools/lazarus/2.2.6/ make clean PP=$HOME/bin/ppcarm && make bigide PP=$HOME/bin/ppcarm Shorter: make clean bigide PP=$HOME/bin/ppcarm [...] > New fpc? Being able to upgrade fpc on the side without disruption of Lazarus is also an issue for me, is there some setting/config within the pcp directory that I can change to point Lazarus to a new fpc compiler and it will then be possible to rebuild Lazarus with that new compiler? For compiling your project set the compiler in Project Options. Use build modes for multiple platforms. For compiling the IDE with different fpc versions, install the fpc sources in paths that only differ in version number, so you can use the IDE macro $(FPCVer). Then you can easily switch the used fpc in Tools / Options / Env / Files. And what about day-to-day project compiles if I want to use the new compiler? Is it as simple as changing the symlink of $HOME/bin/ppcarm to point to the new compiler? It would affect all user installs utilizing the ppcarm compiler. Using build modes sounds easier.

Checksums for the SourceForge files: https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=checksums#3_0RC1 Minimum requirements: Windows: 2k, 32 or 64bit. FreeBSD/Linux: gtk 2.24 for gtk2, qt4.5 for qt, qt5.6 for qt5, 32 or 64bit. Mac OS X: Cocoa (64bit) 10.12, Carbon (32bit) 10.5 to 10.14, qt and qt5 (32 or 64bit). The gitlab page: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/tree/lazarus_3_0_RC1 For people who are blocked by SF, the Lazarus releases from SourceForge are mirrored at:ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/releases/ == Why should everybody (including you) test the release candidate? == In the past weeks the Lazarus team has stabilized the 3.0 fixes branch. The resulting 3.0RC1 is now stable enough to be used by any one for test purposes. However many of the fixes and new features that were committed since the release of 2.2.6 required changes to the code of existing features too. While we have tested those ourselves, there may still be problems that only occur with very specific configurations or one project in a million. Yes, it may be that you are the only person with a project, that will not work in the new IDE. So if you do not test, we can not fix it. Please do not wait for the final release, in order to test. It may be too late. Once the release is out we will have to be more selective about which fixes can be merged for further 3.x releases. So it may be, that we can not merge the fix you require. And then you will miss out on all the new features. == How to test == Download and install the 3.0 RC1. - On Windows you can install as a 2ndary install, that will not affect your current install: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Multiple_Lazarus#Installation_of_multiple_Lazarus - On other platforms, if you install to a new location you need to use --primary-config-path In either case you should make backups. (including your primary config) Open your project in the current Lazarus (3.0), and use "Publish Project" from the project menu. This creates a clean copy of your project. You can then open that copy in the RC1. Please test: - If you can edit forms in the designer - rename components / change properties in Object inspector / Add new events - Add components to form / Move components on form - Frames, if you use them - If you can navigate the source code (e.g. jump to implementation) - Auto completion in source code - Compile, debug and run - Anything else you use in your daily work Mattias -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

I added a simple detection, so in the future the IDE will not add base packages to staticpackages.inc. I also added some comments. Note that when a base package is renamed or a new one is added it will still need a clean build using make. To support these cases it would be needed to load the new lpk files, which requires error handling etc. Another idea is to detect such changes, warn the user and build using make+lazbuild.

You can use TReader.OnFindComponentClass. Only if you want two different TButton on the same form you need the unitname.tbutton. I will try to summarize: a) Extend lfm to support unitname.classname and extend IDE to allow registering classnames twice. Pro: Allows two TButton in the same app, even on the same form. Con: Require changes in Classes (FPC release) Con: old and new lfm file troubles (old/new FPC, old/new IDE) b) Extend IDE with environment tags for pages and allow registering classnames twice for different environments. Pro: IDE could show context sensitive component palette Pro: allows two TButton in IDE Con: does not support two TButton in one app, unless app sets TReader.OnFindComponentClass Con: troubles with old IDE Note that a) and b) are not xor - both can be implemented.

I understand a lcl controls.TButton and a web controls.TButton, but that would not clash in one application. So the situation is that - for whatever reasons - you ended up with two TButton in one app and you are not allowed to rename them. Worse, you want to drop the two TButton on the same form.

Do you mean

First of all: If you are using lazbuild to compile your projects, it will compile the LCL automatically.

Sometimes you need an integer, sometimes a pointer, and afair at the
time when it was added the compiler did not warn typecasting PtrInt to
Pointer.

The Lazarus Makefiles are created from the corresponding Makefile.fpc. In order to support fpc trunk, you need fpc trunk sources. You can update one Makefile by calling the one liner (e.g linux 64bit): FPCDIR=/path/to/fpc_sources/trunk/fpc/ /path/to/fpc_sources/trunk/fpc/utils/fpcm/bin/x86_64-linux/fpcmake -TAll -v Mattias -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
