Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus January 2016 Update Can't install custom components.

Don, you should probably take this to the forums at
http://www.getlazarus.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=22

But to answer your question, in order to reduce the total install size of
Raspberry Pi I've removed many fpc packages which do not fall under the
domain of the rtl or fcl. I know for a lot of people SD card space is a
major concern when picking what to put on their Pi, and I think I've
managed to to strike a reasonable balance in reducing the install size from
1.2GB down to 240MB.

If you need packages which are missing, you can use svn to install just the
compiler packages you need by using the command:

svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/packages//src


Where  is the name of the individual missing fpc package you
want installed. Just be sure to add the  folder to your
Lazarus include path.

To list packages use:

svn ls http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/packages/

I hope this helps.

Changes include:

A new Lazarus layout with the component pallet removed and coolbar 
buttons in its place. The a docked form designer is now the default 
form editor.


The new menu editor is included along with my application explorer 
tool. The source to the application explorer is in the components 
folder and might be of interest to users wanting to try their hand at 
extending the IDE,


The new documentation site at docs.getlazarus.org 
 is now the F1 help site.


Minimal FPC 3.0.0 compilers with friendly setup scripts are now 
available at http://www.getlazarus.org/setup/minimal/. I've also 
updated the "making it yourself" page with better instructions.


Finally FPC 3.1.1 trunk includes support for generic 
functions/procedures, which are quite nice.

Hi Anthony,

I just tried to use the new Lazarus for Raspberry PI and ran into two 
problems trying to add components from a four-year-old library (that has 
been working on Linux for that time and on Raspbian up to Lazarus 1.4).


This version of fpc/lazarus does not have the RegExpr package so one of 
my components failed to compile.  I removed it from the package and 
started over (I don't need it for the app on the PI so for now this is 
not a major issue.  I do need it on Linux so now I am hesitant to 
upgrade my main development machine.).


The big problem occurred when rebuilding lazarus to install the new 
components:


Build IDE Exit Code 512 Errors 4
Panic *** make No rule to make 'idepkg'  Stop.

remaining errors are leaving directory and make terminated.

Is there a work-around for this (besides returning to 1.4)?  I need 
several of the components in this library.


Thanks,

Don Ziesig
