Re: [Lazarus] IDE rebuild fails on raspi4
Hi Bo, Again, thanks for your many useful replies. Your approach to doing a local user build is a good one and what I'll also do on the problematic Raspbian. May also try it on another distro I like called Devuan. They used to release Pi versions but stopped with the 4B, so I'll have to build their latest 2.1 from scratch as well. Your install script is very readable and clarifies the OS configuration I'll need to support Lazarus builds. It will be time consuming to build both the OS and Lazarus on the PI4, but I'm sure it will be a more enjoyable use of my spare time then trying to find something intelligent to watch on US TV. :) Thanks, -Tom On Wed, Feb 12, 2020 at 9:31 AM Bo Berglund via lazarus < lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org> wrote: > On Wed, 12 Feb 2020 00:21:06 +0000, Tom Lisjac via lazarus > wrote: > > > > >https://wiki.freepascal.org/Build_current_FPC_and_Lazarus_for_Raspbian > > > >Is your build process similar on the pi4? > > No, I am not building any packages for my installations. > > Instead I have written a script that handles everything for the > *installation* including dependencies etc. > It is designed to be executed on a pristine RPi3B or RPi4B device and > the result is an installation within the pi user's home directory, > below /home/pi/dev and using /home/pi/bin and a few other local dirs. > > I have posted the script and RPi seed compilers on my blog site: > http://blog.boberglund.com/ > > The script there is now updated to use the current release versions > Fpc 3.0.4 and Lazarus 2.0.6 and download the help files. > > (Also sent the script privately to Tom Lisjac ) > > > -- > Bo Berglund > Developer in Sweden > > -- > ___ > lazarus mailing list > lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org > https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus > -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] IDE rebuild fails on raspi4
HI Bo, Thanks for your reply and comments... very helpful! Since your svn builds work without issue on the pi4, it looks like my persistence problem is with the lazarus package from the raspbian repo. Otto Dominguez also replied privately and provided some details about why. He also generously included a links to a set of 2.0.6 Lazarus packages he made for the pi4: https://app.box.com/s/7g54gml6p9bfn10157go430oyputw2au I'm going to uninstall the raspbian package and try Otto's. Ultimately I'd like to do my own builds on the pi as it appears the 4B is actually usable for serious development were previous versions were too slow for my taste. :) Otto included a link to a forum thread where he announced his build procedure and packages: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Build_current_FPC_and_Lazarus_for_Raspbian Is your build process similar on the pi4?

Re: [Lazarus] IDE rebuild fails on raspi4
Thanks Werner.
You are correct that oleutils is outside the Windows endif... my apologies.
The monitor I'm using for the pi is very small and I should have used a
magnifying glass to confirm the problem description before posting.
Per your comments, I was able to complete the IDE rebuild after manually
compiling fpdebug, lclextensions, virtualtreeview and the
onlinepackagemanager. However when I restart Lazarus, I have to recompile
them again to do another rebuild. Not sure what's causing the lack of
persistence, but Otto Dominguez also sent me a link to a set of 2.0.6
packages he's made for the pi4 and I think I'll give those a try.
Thanks again for your reply and suggestions,
-Tom

[Lazarus] IDE rebuild fails on raspi4
Trying to get Lazarus working on the raspberry pi 4 with the latest
Raspbian (Debian 10.2). Installed 2.0.0+dfsg-2 with synaptic from the
Raspbian repos, but haven't been able to install components and rebuild the
IDE, due to:
VirtualTrees.pas(70,3) Fatal: Cannot find OleUtils used by VirtualTrees.
Got past a similar issue with fpdebug buy compiling it manually, but the
VirtualTrees source shows OleUtils inside a Windows ifdef which isn't going
to resolve on the pi:
unit VirtualTrees;
{$ifdef Windows}
...
OleUtils,
Google hasn't been much help. Any suggestions for getting around this would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Tom

Re: [Lazarus] Jedi Code Formatter (JCF) issues
Waking up an old thread as I'm also having trouble getting some basic formatting options to work with JCF in 2.0.2. I want the code to look like the following, which the fpc tools ptop formatter does by default: if something then begin statement; statement end But no matter what combination of settings I try, JCF insists on doing either this: if something then begin statement; statement end or this: if something then begin statement; statement end I'd like to get this working out of the ide rather then having to break out to run ptop from the command line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Lazarus] ll 1.8.0 compiles fail with "Error while linking"
Thanks Zeljke, Péter and Mattias. Plenty of space on all three OS'es and I installed all the dependencies that the rpm's (from sourceforge) required. I've upgraded the Fedora 19 install many times without issues. This is the error after upgrading to 1.8.0 when compiling a blank form or the IDE from the ide: Build IDE: Exit code 512, Errors: 1 [lazarus] Error 1 [idepkg] Error 2 make: *** [idepkg] Error 2 lazarus.pp(161,1) Error: Error while linking It was originally the same on a new Fedora 23, but booted the VM up again today and now see this with a blank form compile: Compile Project, Target: /home/user/tmp/project1: Exit code 256, Errors: 1, Warnings: 2 project1.lpr(20,1) Warning: "crtbeginS.o" not found, this will probably cause a linking failure project1.lpr(20,1) Warning: "crtendS.o" not found, this will probably cause a linking failure project1.lpr(20,1) Error: Error while linking A forum search search suggested checking the path in /etc/fpc.cfg: # path to the gcclib #ifdef cpui386 -Fl/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3/32 #endif #ifdef cpux86_64 -Fl/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3 #endif Both are correct on Fedora 19 as I can see crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o in those directories, but neither of those entries are present in the /etc/fpc.cfg on Fedora 23, so it's still not clear what the problem is and how to fix it.

[Lazarus] ll 1.8.0 compiles fail with "Error while linking"
Hi all, Getting "Error while linking" when trying to compile the 1.8.0 ide or any test programs on an old Fedora 19 and fresh installs of Fedora 23 and Centos 6.8. Reviewed some bugs and forum postings, but there doesn't seem to be a fix or workaround available. I'd like to get this working on an RPM based distro, but am wondering if I'd have better luck trying a debian flavor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
