Hi,

I've downloaded the latest SVN Checked out revision 17479.

But when I compile I get the following errors:

Target OS: Linux for x86-64
Compiling jitform.pas
jitform.pas(100,38) Error: identifier idents no member "SetDesignInstance" jitform.pas(100,55) Error: Illegal expression
jitform.pas(100,55) Fatal: Syntax error, ";" expected but "(" found Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: *** [jitform.ppu] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/lazarus/designer/jitform' make[1]: *** [jitform_all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/lazarus/designer' make: *** [designer] Error 2

Can anyone advise?

I'm using fpc 2.2.0 on an AMD64 Box with Ubuntu 8.10.

You should update to fpc 2.2.2 or higher.

Vincent

Thanks Vincent.

I got over that hurdle. Now I'm getting this:

En/na Dave Coventry ha escrit:

This was fixed later than 2.2.2, so you should get a snapshot of the fixes tree (if you want to stay with the "stable" branch) or of the development tree.

Bye

This is what I did:

I ran 'svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc' which downloaded the fpc files into /opt/fpc

I changed directory to /opt/fpc and ran 'make all', which seemed to compile okay. Then I ran 'make install' which I expected to overwrite the fpc-2.2.2 version as the default implementation.

However, that version still appears to be invoked when I try to compile Lazarus.

Vincent,

I've changed
/usr/bin/ppcx64-> to point to-> /opt/fpc/compiler/ppcx64 but this didn't work.

However, using PP=/opt/fpc/compiler/ppcx64 did work.

How is this going to affect my own applications? When I compile my own apps, which compiler will they be compiled under? and does it matter?
