I updated FPC svn this morning, but when compiling Lazarus it returns this error:

Check paths in your C:\Develop\fpc\2.5.1\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg (if it exists at all).

it seems to be ok; this morning, on first pc start up, I updated svn fpc and lazarus, recompiled all and it was ok... some hours after, I tried to re-update/re-compile all and I got this error. No other modifies...

Kjow

Well, this means you have compiled the compiler but forgot to recompiler rtl and packages or maybe you are compiling lazarus with an old compiler.

Best regards,

Ummm... which is the command to recompile everything? I'm using this script
http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/pipermail/lazarus/2010-January/048409.html that worked until this morning... after an FPC svn update it returned this error...

Yes, I increased ppu version because of change in the compiler I made. I have no idea what is wrong in the script - it looks ok. Try to remove all the ppu files manually.

Ok, so you are suggesting me to delete all 2206 *.ppu in fpc 2.51 dir/subdir? It is advisable to do every time before to recompile?

Thanks,
Kjow

I deleted all ppu in fpc dir, and now I have this:

Well, have you recompiled fpc after? The whole fpc project or just the compiler? Definetly something wrong with how you rebuild fpc. Look at the fpc.cfg and search how you are accessing the compiled units.

Yes, I use always the same script, now updated to remove old .ppu:

"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:update /path:"C:\Develop\fpc\2.5.1\source\" /notempfile /closeonend:1 "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:update /path:"C:\Develop\Lazarus\" /notempfile /closeonend:1 cd C:\Develop\fpc\2.5.1\source\
DEL /F /Q /S C:\Develop\fpc\2.5.1\*.ppu
make clean all
make install PREFIX=C:\Develop\fpc\2.5.1\
cd C:\Develop\Lazarus
make clean all
lazbuild --build-all --build-ide=
strip --strip-all lazarus.exe
strip --strip-all lazarus.new.exe
strip --strip-all lazbuild.exe
strip --strip-all startlazarus.exe
pause
exit

So to recompile the fpc I use:

make clean all
make install PREFIX=C:\Develop\fpc\2.5.1\

Then I recompile Lazarus:

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

This fpc.cfg always worked before this morning update.

This happens only once or twice an year. I manually kill the fpc\$FPCVERSION\units\ dir if I notice it.

A different reason to do the same is strange errors like linker errors, or wanting to recompile.

This can happen because an unit switched dirs, and the old version is no longer overwritten, and found by the compiler first. Killing the units dir and install the snapshot overnew solves that too.

2010/1/19 Marco van de Voort :

Perfect thank you!

I tried to delete fpc\$FPCVERSION\units\ only, but no luck. So I deleted all fpc dirs, binaries and sources, so I restarted from new svn download and all things are gone right!

Kjow
