Hi all,

I need to compile lazarus in terminal (or command prompt) including all components already installed.
I mean that I made a simple batch script on windows startup that download fpc svn, lazarus svn, recompile fpc and finally recompile lazarus, but every time I run Lazarus (after relative "make clean all") I haven't any extra component. I need to click in "build" voice in IDE menu.

How can I include all packages (extra and not) in command line compiling?

I noticed also that lazarus.exe hasn't the icon, how to associate it to the exe?

Finally, how to automatically strip lazarus.exe? It is 119Mb... :)

Many thanks!

I noticed also that lazarus.exe hasn't the icon, how to associate it to the exe?

It is already compiled in.
Maybe Paul can answer this?

Add to your script:
strip --strip-all lazarus.exe

Windows uses built-in icon automatically. On linux you need to assign project ico file to desktop shortcut manually. I don't know if this can be automated since even kde and gnome requires different actions for that.

On OSX we are thinking about the possibility to automatically generate a bundle with .icns inside - then OSX will show application using that icon.

There are other possibilities too. Compiler can strip if -Xs is passed but I remember some conflicts with -g options. You can also ask fpc to separate debug info from the executable using -Xg switch. I can be wrong but as I remember -Xg works correctly starting from fpc 2.4.0

Oh, OK.
So to upgrade svn revisions I need to do "make" instead "make clean all".

startlazarus.exe and lazbuild.exe have both the icon, but lazarus.exe hasn't.

Whops, I mean directly in "make" string... but it isn't a problem to add a row in the script ;)

Thanks!

So can I add -Xs or -Xg to the "make" for lazarus compile? e.g. c:\develop\lazarus\> make -Xs

Thanks
Kjow

No,
the syntax is:

make OPT='-Xs'

But this won't work. See my other mail.

Mattias

I guess you mean you have to use
"make clean all"

Paul?

AFAIK this is not possible, because you can not disable the -g options that are always passed by the makefile.

Umm... I do "make clean all", then it compile right, but without installed extra packages.
Then if I try to do "lazbuild --build-all" or "lazbuild -B", I get:

c:\Develop\Lazarus>lazbuild --build-all

But If I click on Tools->build lazarus I get lazarus compiled with all packages I installed before the re-build.
Other thing I just noticed is that making lazarus by command line I lose language setting and it returns to system language, but building lazarus by IDE it returns to english (language I choose to use).

AFAIK this is not possible, because you can not disable the -g options that are always passed by the makefile.

Ok, thanks you!

Kjow

En/na Kjow ha escrit:

You need to specify the "--build-ide=" option as well

Bye

lazbuild --build-ide=

[...] But If I click on Tools->build lazarus I get lazarus compiled with all packages I installed before the re-build.

yes

Other thing I just noticed is that making lazarus by command line I lose language setting and it returns to system language, but building lazarus by IDE it returns to english (language I choose to use).

The language settings are not compiled in. They are fetched from the environment variables.
Maybe it didn't found the lazarus source directory?

No idea. Lazarus.exe has the same icon as startlazarus and lazbuild here.

I think OPT=-Xg will work but -Xs will not.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

Can I force to link the icon? (e.g windres in my own script, but which syntax?)

Thanks,

Do you mean "lazbuild --build-all --build-ide="?

Can you tell me what lazarus version do you have?

If 0.9.28 then which must contain a manifest and an icon. If 0.9.29 then lazarus.res must be in the ide folder which contains an icon.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

So, I'm using latest revisions of SVN trunk (both lazarus and fpc)

You can do OPT="-g- -Xs", but you don't have debug info in compiled units either.

Vincent

Good to know - we have similar environment.

Lazarus trunk has a lazarus.res file:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ide/lazarus.res Do you have one?

Ide using here: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ide/lazarus.pp

[part of lazarus.pp]
  MainBase, compiler_conditionals_options;
{$I revision.inc}
{$R lazarus.res}
begin

[/part of lazarus.pp]

This adds a manifest and an icon to the lazarus.exe. No idea why it is not so for you.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

2010/1/19 Paul Ishenin :

Oh! Now I understand, it is a my "mistake"... I edited lazarus.pp from {$R lazarus.res} to { $R lazarus.res} because I use glscene that makes a lot of graphical glitches with windows manifest, so I need to disable this functions in lazarus IDE (otherwise, there is no way to use design time editor).

How can I make my own lazarus.res that include all resources, but without Windows manifest?

Thanks,
Kjow

You can open lazarus.lpi in lazarus and edit the project options.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

2010/1/19 Paul Ishenin :

Thank you very much, now it is almost perfect :)

I noticed that if I want associate lazarus to open .lpi file, the icon in file exploer isn't beauty (the real icon is at the center of a white "box"), so I searched for the regedit key and I found that when I want to associate a program to open a file Windows (seven in my case) doesn't create the right key after windows "association":

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lpi_auto_file\DefaultIcon

then I edited the string value with:
C:\Develop\Lazarus\ide\lazarus.ico

Now it is ok, lpi files have the right and beautiful icon! In attachment my exported .reg to doubleclick for future (editing with right path needed).

It would be nice if will be in lazarus IDE a function to automatically associate the right things in each OS (like with the installer version).

Thank you very much for help,
Lazarus community is fantastic!

Regards,
Kjow

AFAIK there is something like "make bigide", that includes the previously installed packages.

DoDi

make bigide compiles an IDE as found in the windows installer. To compile an IDE with your current set of installed packages, use

lazbuild --build-ide=

After an svn update, it is better to do:

make clean all
lazbuild --build-all --build-ide=

or just:

lazbuild --build-all --build-ide=
