I've now re-installed Linux and I'm attempting to
compile the source again.

The compiler build goes fine - I'm able to make cycle, produce new ppc386 etc.

Compiling anything with ppc386 (including a simple hello.pp file I created) results in the error that it can't find systemh.inc.

I then use -Fi/opt/fpc/rtl/inc to force it to include the only directory where systemh.inc is found

It then gives many errors about Identifier not found VALSINT, Illegal expression, Identifier not found
VALUINT etc. and then eventually can't open
setjumph.inc. What is wrong with my setup?

Another question... aren't you able to compile the components using just "make". I tried in the
lazarus/components/mweditbeta folder but it also
complains about systemh.inc being missing and I'm not sure how to specify the include file path when using make.

Thanks,
Kevin.

Oops... that should be 'packages' not 'pacakages' :-) And before someone points it out to me - it was just a typo when writing the e-mail, not when using CVS!

If the compiler complains about systemh.inc not found it usually finds an older compiled run time library and newer runtime library sources. To see where it looks for files, you can use the switch -vt or OPT=-vt if you're using makefiles.

Did you also an update of the rtl and compiler? Then you need to recompile the rtl and compiler as well with make cycle, further you've to adapt your ppc386.cfg to find these new rtl and compiler.

I tried to check out packages and got some kind of error so I assumed that the docs were wrong and that packages wasn't there anymore. I'll look into that when I get home later today. Must I definitely refer to it as "packages" - there isn't another name I must use for the checkout?

I change to the /opt/fpc/lazarus/components/mweditbeta folder and type 'make' and I get the following
responses

make -C /opt/fpc/fcl/linux all
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/fpc/fcl/linux'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/fpc/fcl/linux'

I then try and compile a simple hello.pp file that I wrote. I place the file in ~/projects/testing/hello/. I use the command 'ppc386 hello.pp' - also complains about systemh.inc missing. I use the command 'ppc386 -vt hello.pp' and the output I get is the following:

I then try forcing the include file path using
-I/opt/fpc/rtl/inc and get the following errors.

What am I doing wrong?

I type "cvs -a3 update -dP packages" and it says:

cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [update aborted]: no repository

I also tried packages/gtk and it responded 'no such directory 'pacakages'

I'm looking into the other suggestions (-vt or OPT-vt switch etc.)

Cheers,
Kevin.

You can try to only get packages/gtk

Most of the times when the compiler wants to rebuild the lib, I rebuild the libs first like:

---- build_lazarus ------------------

#!/bin/sh

echo '--> rtl <------------'
pushd ./rtl
make clean
make
popd
rm ./units/*.o ./units/*.ppu
cp ./rtl/linux/*.o ./units
cp ./rtl/linux/*.ppu ./units
echo '--> fcl <------------'
pushd ./fcl
make clean
make
popd
echo '--> gtk <------------'
pushd ./packages/gtk
make clean
make
popd
echo '--> lazarus <------------'
pushd ./lazarus
make clean
make
popd

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

make sure that the units dir is in your unitpath before the others. After you've done this an the problem remains do a touch ./units/*.o ./units/*.ppu (I haven't seen this for a while)

Marc

I would delete the sysyemh.inc file and cvs update it. Also, make sure you have the packages directory because some of our old documentation didn't say to include that when you did a checkout from CVS.

If needed edit your /etc/ppc386.cfg file to include the directory where your systemh.nc file is.
