Greetings all...

Right at this point I am feeling a bit stupid. I am trying to install Lazarus and having very little success.
I am using Linux (RH 5.1 upgraded to a 2.2.5 kernel). I have gotten as far as being able to install FPC (using RPM) and can get it to compile the FPC demos.
I have unpacked the GTK headers file and tried to compile it. This is where I get stuck as I seem to be missing a file "makefile.fpc". The only file that matches this that I have been able to find is in the demo package for FPC.

Can anyone give me a pointer as to where I have gone wrong?

TIA

Michael Anthon

Get the following file:

ftp://tflily.fys.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/fpc/source/base.zip

and unzip it's contents above the gtk and lazarus dirs:

/pp/src/ <---- makefile.fpc goes here.
/gtk
/lazarus
/fcl

Michael.

I see Michael already answered this one. Do not hesitate to ask us a question we all monitor the list
and will answer with blazing speed..... ;)

Like Cliff said what you see in the directory listing below is exactly what you should see. It is building gtk correctly. :-)

Hmmm.... OK, now I am starting to feel stupid 8^)

I put the latest snapshot of the compiler in by following the instructions on the page, ie, making /usr/lib/fpc/0.99.11/linuxunits and putting the new rtl units in there. Then modified /etc/ppc386.cfg, adding these lines... #IFDEF VER0_99_11
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/0.99.11/linuxunits
#ENDIF
Then overwrote the /usr/bin/ppc386 with the new one. I still get almost the same result when trying to compile gtk

Here is a directory listing immediately after unpacking gtk.zip

bash> ls -l

And then immediately after running make....

bash> ls -l

make.out.txt is (obviously) the output from the make command and is included following my sig so as not to clutter the mail TOO much. It seems that for some reason I have not been able to fathom yet that glib.o and gdk.o do not get built.

Ok you can just run make on gtk itself '

You have version 10 of the compiler the first thing to do is upgrade to the latest snapshot...

Go to the development page and download the latest binaries for the compiler and rtl. Unzip this stuff and copy over your
compiler binary and rtl binaries in the linux units directory.

Then run make on the GTK headers this will output the binaries for gtk which will be gdk.0 gdk.ppu glib.o gllib.ppu gdk.0 and gdk.ppu just copy this stuff to your linuxunits dir and then run ppc386 lazarus in the lazarus units directory then ./lazarus to run...

Ummm.. still not working, but I suspect I know why now !!

Yep, I can see that now, what threw me there was the errors produced by "make install" regarding glib.o and gtk.o

Cheers

PS Still trying to get my gtk versions sorted out... AAAAAAAAARGH !!!

Ahh hah! Now you know why we have decided to drop everything for the moment and try and get the 1.2.2 bindings completed. Several of us that have 1.2 installed are having a terrible time trying to build with the old set of gtk libs.

Join the conversion. :-)

Thanks for the quick reply (I saw this last night, but have only now had a chance to try it properly. Unfortunately, I am still having a bit of trouble. I took the approach (after much stuffing around) of removing everything and starting again, following is a log of this effort.

Basically, I installed FPC 0.99.10 from the rpm, the unzipped base.zip, gtk.zip and fcl.zip and lazarus.tar.gz, changed into the gtk directory and ran make then make install (nothing to be done by make, but doing a make clean;make seems to give the same result). The make install seems to have a problem with glib.o and gdk.o.

Any thoughts or pointers ?

Cheers
Michael Anthon

You have it just do what I say below and you will be in business I believe.....

Cliff

---------------------------------------------------------------

Every thing is built correctly just copy the ppu and o files to the linuxunits . noted above

Then try to compile one of the gtk examples by doing ppc386 <example>.pp

If you can do this all is cool ;)

Then just do the same in the lazarus directory ppc386 lazarus.pp

----------------------------------------------------------------

Heh, perhaps I would, if only I knew what I was doing !!

Well I guess we have to convert files a little faster....

Michael If you wish to help out grab a few of the gtk files and convert them we should be done with this real quick...

It will also give you a good chance to familiarize yourself with some of the functions.....
