Hello,

I've built lazarus today from few weeks ago to r23973. I had an open project while compiled Lazarus again.
When Lazarus arrive back from compilation, it was unable to open the project. When I try to force it to open it, it just hangs until I'll kill it.

I'm using Linux x86_64 with fpc 2.5.1

What should I be looking for, before calling it a bug ?

Thanks,
Ido

I have a similar problem from ~r23957:
http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15972

Try with r23932, it worked for me:

Probably newautosize bug. Try to rebuild lazarus with -dOldAutoSize and then try again to open your project.

Building IDE with -dOldAutoSize option solves both these bug:

Thanks!

PS what is the "newautosize function"?

Indeed it solved my problem. How can I migrate to the new AutoSize ?

I don't think that you have to migrate to new autosize but wait until newautosize bugs fixed.

How to recompile from "command prompt" with -dOldAutoSize option? I tried, but it doesn't like it...

From "IDE->Advanced Build Option->options" No problems.

Thanks,
Kjow

http://ik.homelinux.org/

On menu tools choose "Configure Build Lazarus"
Then there use the tab "Advance build options"
And there on the "Options" TEdit place your option (-dOldAutoSize)

And then build Lazarus from there :)

Yes I know :)

>> From "IDE->Advanced Build Option->options" No problems.

But I need to include this option on a script that update everyday my lazarus revision to the latest, so I need a way to build lazarus IDE by command prompt / terminal with this option :)

Kjow

If you did previously:
make clean bigide
now do:
make clean bigide OPT="-dOldAutoSize"

Vincent

2010/3/15 Vincent Snijders :

Thanks, but now I have a question:

make clean bigide (and so: make clean bigide OPT="-dOldAutoSize" )

is the command above the equivalent to this below?

lazbuild --build-ide=
(so, without option -dOldAutoSize)

Kjow

2010/3/15 Kjow :

> make clean bigide (and so: make clean bigide OPT="-dOldAutoSize" )

I have an other question:

Can "make clean bigide" replace "make clean all" after an svn update?

Thanks,
Kjow

"make bigideclean bigide" installs just more packages than "make clean all" so you can use the first command after an svn update.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

2010/3/16 Paul Ishenin :

Thanks!

So I'm going to replace this:

...
cd C:\Develop\Lazarus
svn up
make clean all
lazbuild --build-ide=
strip --strip-all lazarus.exe
strip --strip-all lazbuild.exe
strip --strip-all startlazarus.exe
pause
exit

With this:

...
cd C:\Develop\Lazarus
svn up
make clean bigide OPT="-dOldAutoSize"
strip --strip-all lazarus.exe
strip --strip-all lazbuild.exe
strip --strip-all startlazarus.exe
pause
exit

Thank you,
Kjow

Thank you very much, your help is very apprecciated :)

AFAIK OldAutoSize is used in the LCL en IDE only, relinking and adding components don't recompile it.

With this:

cd C:\Develop\Lazarus
svn up
make clean all OPT="-dOldAutoSize"
lazbuild --build-ide=
strip --strip-all lazarus.exe
strip --strip-all lazbuild.exe
strip --strip-all startlazarus.exe
pause
exit

Vincent

I would recommend to do:

make bigideclean bigide OPT="-dOldAutoSize -Xs"

1. is to use bigideclean instead of clean
2. to use -Xs instead of strip

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

I thought -Xs doesn't work if you add -gl to the compiler parameters, as the Lazarus makefiles do.

So you would have to do OPT="-g- -Xs", but then the compiled units don't have debug info either.

Vincent

Ok, then:

make bigideclean bigide OPT="-dOldAutoSize -Xg"
del lazarus.dbg
del startlazarus.dbg
del lazbuild.dbg

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

2010/3/16 Paul Ishenin :

Ok, thank you so much.
Now I there is the problem how to compile every extra packages already installed without lose -dOldAutoSize option.
(see latest email with topic: "make clean bigide")

Regards,
Kjow

You don't need it, unless your packages implement different behavior depending on that define. You do need the -Xg.

Vincent

Umm... Do you mean that depends by the package if there isn't between the components after the build?
I'm writing about GLScene and if I build with:

make bigideclean bigide OPT="-dOldAutoSize -Xg"

I have all I need, but no GLScene.

The only way to have GLScene in the IDE is to build from ide.

Kjow

<frustration>What happens if you just do what I told you?</frustration> http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/pipermail/lazarus/2010-March/050400.html

More relaxed:
First you update:
svn up
then you build a new LCL and IDE and lazbuild with debug information (I like that, because then you can give good back traces to the lazarus developers, given better feedback etc), using a define to use tested old autosize code:
make clean all OPT="-dOldAutoSize"
Then you build the IDE with no custom options but with all your currently installed packages, recompiling the packages as necessary. lazbuild --build-ide=
To economize on disk space and to rob you from giving valuable back traces to the lazarus developers, you strip the executables from debug information:
strip --strip-all lazarus.exe
strip --strip-all lazbuild.exe
strip --strip-all startlazarus.exe
pause
exit

Ready.

Alternatively, you can do
lazbuild --build-ide=-dOldAutoSize if glscene has a {$IFDEF OldAutoSize} or
lazbuild --build-ide=-Xg if you do want to have the debug information, but not in the same file as the executable
or
lazbuild --build-ide=-g- if you want to compile the extra packages without debug information and the lazarus IDE without debug information too, so you don't need to strip it.

I'm sorry... but I did it and it didn't work for me... otherwise I would not have asked again.
I'm a simple user of Lazarus, not a developer of it, so I don't know what there is at the base.
I'm sorry to bother you all with my unknowledge (not sarcastic).

However, no way to include GLScene by command prompt building.

No problems, I'll wait a more stable "autosize" function to reuse my old script.

Thank you for help and the time spent with me,
Kjow :)
