I've installed ubuntu 9.04 in a VM to test it out, and have installed fpc 2.2.4. It is always good to look before you leap, right?
Anyhow, I am trying to compile an existing project that works fine under Ubuntu 8.04. I can get all of the unit to compile, but when it comes time to link them together into a shared library, I get the following:
Linking libproj.so
Error: Can't call the linker, switching to external linking Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)
Here is the source code for the sample project:
library project1;
uses
Classes;
function dRound(iDec: integer; dRate: double): double;
const
TenToPower: Array[0..9] of integer = (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,
1000000, 10000000, 100000000,
1000000000);
var
dInc : double;
begin
if iDec > 0 then begin
dInc := 0.5000001;
result := trunc (dRate * (TenToPower [iDec]) + dInc) /
TenToPower [iDec];
end else begin
result := dRate;
end ;
end;
function one : double; cdecl;
begin
Result := dRound( 2, 0.529 ) ;
end;
begin
end.And the command I use to compile it is:
fpc -Sd -Cg -O3 proj.pas
Anyone else having similar issues?
