Dear all,

I have an application created using lazarus which run on windows and now I want to build into linux. Installing lazarus using .deb package (I'm using ubuntu jaunty) lazarus running well and after installling zeosdb component I try to create small application using zeosdbo component which only connect into mysql to test the component installation.

But compile process failed with this error :
"/usr/lib/lazarus/ideintf/texttools.pas(167,1) Error: Can't create object file: /usr/lib/lazarus/ideintf/texttools.o"

Is there any howto to fix this error?

Thanks,
Diwa

Is there any howto to fix this error?

writing to "/usr/lib/" requires root rights.

you need to change /usr/lib/lazarus write access
- or -
run as "sudo lazarus"

thanks,

Hi dmitry,

So, everytime run lazarus to create project must use root account or just when installing component?

only when you need to recompile LCL or Lazarus itself. I.e. : installing a new component.

When you're developing your own project you don't need to user root account, because you don't need to rebuild LCL or Lazarus.

Neither.

ideintf/texttools.pas is part of the IDEIntf package, which is only built when you compile the IDE. This is not needed when compiling a project and neither when installing a package.
I wonder, what you did exactly to get this error.

When you install a package the IDE has to rebuild only the lazarus executable. When you installed lazarus via deb package the lazarus folder is only writable by root. The IDE checks if the folder is writable and puts the new executable into ~/.lazarus/bin/.

So normally a normal user can install packages.

That would be a bug.
Have you reported it already?

When you're developing your own project you don't need to user root account, because you don't need to rebuild LCL or Lazarus.

After I follow dmitry suggestion is to make write access to /usr/lib/lazarus and now I can compile my small project successfull.

Next is install rxfpc component into lazarus using root account, and I got error again (attached):

/usr/lib/lazarus/components/fpweb/cgiapp.pp(229,22) Error: Identifier
not found "FileExistsUTF8"

I'm so confuse installing component into lazarus 9.26.2 with fpc 2.2.2-8 updated using repository on ubuntu, any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Diwa

Guys,

Please help with any hints on this, I'm still stuck on this error.

Anyone who using ubuntu with lazarus please give me some clues.

Thanks,
Diwa

The function is in the fileutil.pas unit of lazarus. Please add fileutil to the uses clause of the cgiapp.pp file.

Michael.

I tried to compile that unit with fpc 2.2.4 using Lazarus -> Run -> Build file: C:\lazarus\source\git\lazarus\components\fpweb\cgiapp.pp(416,28) Error: Wrong number of parameters specified for call to "ProcessMultiPart" C:\lazarus\source\git\lazarus\components\fpweb\cgiapp.pp(418,26) Error: Wrong number of parameters specified for call to "ProcessURLEncoded" C:\lazarus\source\git\lazarus\components\fpweb\cgiapp.pp(445,36) Error: Wrong number of parameters specified for call to "ProcessQueryString" C:\lazarus\source\git\lazarus\components\fpweb\cgiapp.pp(599) Fatal: There were 3 errors compiling module, stopping

So, to me it seems this unit is more broken than a missing uses FileUtil.

Vincent

This is a bug?

Diwa

Zitat von Diwakoe :

Just a note:
This unit has moved some months ago (in current development version of fpc and lazarus) from lazarus to fpc.
Can you use the daily snapshot or the svn version of fpc/lazarus?

Mattias

2009/8/14 Mattias G?rtner :

I will try to use daily snapshot and inform you the result, but I'm still prefer use 0.9.26.2 version to build my application.

Thanks,
Diwa

Zitat von Diwakoe :

Of course.
But afaik the fpweb package didn't work with 2.2.2. So you must use some of the newer units from the developer version of fpc/lazarus anyway.

Mattias

That file is still in http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpweb/

Should it be removed? Since fplazweb doesn't work fpc 2.2.4, there is no need for it to be in our repo, is there? Or can it be used with 2.2.4?

Vincent

Zitat von Vincent Snijders :

Yes. I guess, it should be removed.

Michael, your advice?

Mattias

cgiapp can be removed.

Michael.

Done in r21222.
