Consider increasing the RAM. I was using a 1GB system with no swapfile.
When I added a 1GB swapfile the problem simply stopped. The errors point
was often the resource creator. There would be an error saying fpcres could
not be found. At other times it was the linker.

Use 'fpcup --verbose --noconfirm > fpcverbose.txt' and view the output in a
text editor. It will much easier and Reinier will be able to help quicker.

I just read the wiki and noticed the --noconfirm option. Although I have a
list of fpcup options in my blog I missed it among the large number of
options.

IMHO the 'fpcup --verbose --noconfirm > fpcverbose.txt' method  should be
recommended as the first thing to do if fpcup fails and placed at the top
of the Troubleshooting Section in the wiki.

A full compilation takes about 20 minutes on my system and it is much
easier on the eye this way.

Re: [Lazarus] What are the prerequisites for compiling Lazarus on a KDE based system?

2014-01-05 Thread Reinier Olislagers 
OP cross-posted on the forum that he had "identical" systems that did
have the correct prereqs where fpcup did work; as indicated on the forum
post, recent fpcup will show some missing libraries when running
It would help to RTFM/run fpcup -h and run fpcup --lclplatform=qt though.

Alternatively to the above, run fpcup --verbose to show all commands
used, make output etc.

Finally, OP may try and run something like dpkg -l on both systems and
compare the differences...

No idea, sorry. I don't use fpcup and I don't know whether it suppresses
compiler/assembler/linker messages or not. If you build manually by hand,
you'll be able to see a list of "cannot find: -lXXX" which indicates the
missing libraries.

RTFM (especially about the docs part) and properly read the "failures"

The prerequisites do not depend on your desktop system.
There must be devel versions for the widgetset you use.
For GTK2 it is package libgtk2.0-dev.
For QT it is libqt4-dev (I think) and you also need the qt4pas binding library:

[Lazarus] What are the prerequisites for compiling Lazarus on a KDE based system?

2014-01-04 Thread vfclists . 
What are the known prerequisites for installing Lazarus on a KDE based
system?

I am able to build Lazarus using fpcup on existing Ubuntu 12.04 systems
running KDE, but I am unable to get it working on a newly installed system
so I suspect that some of the required libraries have not been installed on
the new system.

Is there a clearly specified list of prerequisites for compiling Lazarus on
Debian/Ubuntu with KDE?
