Hi!

Some hours ago, I updated my lazarus version via svn. After wait it completes, I tried rebuild Lazarus without success. The error is

...
Compiling eventcodetool.pas
eventcodetool.pas(127,9) Fatal: Syntax error, ")" expected but "," found Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: ** [codetools.ppu] Erro 1
make[2]: Saindo do diret?rio `/home/fabiolg/lazarus/components/codetools' make[1]: ** [codetools_all] Erro 2
make[1]: Saindo do diret?rio `/home/fabiolg/lazarus/components' make: ** [components] Erro 2
fabiolg at darkstar3:~/lazarus$

I see the file and I found this:

const
  MethodKindAsString: array[TMethodKind] of shortstring = (
        'procedure', 'function', 'constructor', 'destructor',
        'class procedure', 'class function'
        {$IFNDEF VER2_4}
        ,'class constructor', 'class destructor'
        {$ENDIF}
        {$IFDEF VER2_5}
        ,'operator overload'
        {$ENDIF}
      );

but I can't see anything wrong...

I searched the wiki and the bugtracker, but I found anything. On google, on some pages is wrote that to solve this, I have to update my FPC (my previous version of FPC is 2.5.1 of november of 2010). I updated it but the error persists.

Some Idea?

You need a recent 2.5.1 or a released 2.4.2 or a recent 2.4.3.

The 'operator overload' came some weeks ago to 2.5.1.

Mattias

Maybe those IFDEF can be made smarter?

{$IF high(TMethodKind)   mkClassFunction}
     ,'class constructor', 'class destructor'
    {$IF high(TMethodKind)   mkClassDestructor}
    ,'operator overload'
    {$ENDIF}
  {$ENDIF}

Applied.
But that does not mean we support older 2.5.1 - we do not.

Yes, I updated my FPC 2.5.1 today. I downloaded the file fpcbuild.zip from http://www.freepascal.org/develop.var on "Download Daily Source Snapshot of Development Tree (trunk)" section

I'm looking the file typinfo.pp of my "fresh" fpc version, searching the TMethodKind type and it don't have the mkOperatorOverload. I looked the same file via FPC svn and it have this. Maybe I downloaded the wrong file. I'll try download the fpcbuild.zip again and see what's happens.

While I write this message, I checked the date of the downloaded file on ftp, and it dated of 2010-nov-16, and if 'operator overload' came some weeks ago, this is the problem...

After this, I'll update my fpc via svn...

I reverted this change in r29013, because it broke building Lazarus with FPC 2.4.3 (tested with latest 2.4.3 revision to date).

I applied it wrong. Sorry.

Mattias

And the fpcbuild.zip snapshot, it will be updated? I downloaded it thinking that is the most recently file, but it's outdated. Or maybe put on the development page the date of the snapshot to alert people as me :)
