Dear Sirs ,
Installing Lazarus port as "root" in FreeBSD 7 Stable ( 2008-06 ) is giving the following errors : (1) "pkg_add -vr lazarus" is working but not like "pkg_add -vr fpc" because after fpc install , when it is used as # fpc it is starting to work . Contrary to this , # lazarus is NOT working ( saying "lazarus : Command not found. ) . Then : # cd /usr/ports/editors/lazarus # make During "make" , it is checking presence of "lazarus-0.9.24-0.tar.gz" and NOT finding it and downloading it , ... it is checking presence of "fpc-2.2.0-source.tar.gz" and NOT finding it and downloading it , ... After completion of "make" : # ./lazarus It is giving the following message : "Free Pascal sources not found . Some code functions will not work . It is recommended that you install it and set path Environment -> Environment Options -> Files " # cd work # cd docs # cd html In this directory ( "/usr/ports/editors//lazarus/work/docs/html/" ) application of "update_html.sh" is giving a number of errors : cd : ../../lcl/interfaces/gtk/ : No such file or directory . cd : ../../lcl/ : No such file or directory . In script , correcting "../../lc/" as "./lcl/" is not solving the problem , because other non-existent directories are listed after that with the other error including the message that "fpdoc : .. not found ." . (2) "make install" giving the following error : "Error expanding embedded variable" . (3) Is it possible to give information in your web site "lazarus wiki" : "GETTING LAZARUS" page , a complete installation information on FreeBSD , since information on Linux is NOT applicable to FreeBSD because their lazarus and fpc directory structures seem to be very different ? A complete install script would be very useful . (4) In my opinion , lazarus.tbz on "ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/"; needs to be restructured to resolve the above errors , and remove necessity of "make" steps . Thank you very much , Mehmet Erol Sanliturk _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
