I have an OpenSUSE 10.2 where I succeded to run Lazarus 0.9.31 up to now. After upgrading to 29544, I'm getting this error when trying to build a project

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0

Strange thing is, the IDE has no problems to build itself and is obviously not missing libgdk_pixbuf-2.0

I know I should probably upgrade this Linux Installation, otoh, if a simple solution exists...
Does anybody know what's wrong here?

Thank you
Theo

Lazarus 0.9.31 r29544 FPC 2.4.2 i386-linux-gtk 2

Does ls -l /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0* tell you anything useful?

No, this lib doesn't seem to be installed here, but this was no problem so far. I haven't even changed the compiler (*2.4.2 [2010/11/22] for i386) I have only upgraded Lazarus from one of the first 0.9.31 versions to *0.9.31 r29544, and now the linker wants libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.
As I said, this is when I try to build even the simplest project, the IDE itself builds and runs without complaining about this lib, so it is not strictly necessary it seems.

Thank you

I was wrong. The libs are there, but they are in /opt/gnome/lib on this system.
For a reason, the latest version doesn't find them like the versions before.
If I add -Fl/opt/gnome/lib, everything is fine.

Thank you
Theo

Ah, I thought this was obsolete.

I added it to the LCL.

FYI: OpenSUSE 10.2 supports "zypper dup" (= Distro Update). You don't need to download and burn CD images to update your system. It works also in practice, unlike a similar feature in some other distros. Maybe wait till the new version 10.4 before updating.

Could you please add it for gtk1, too?

Thanks,

Yes, done.

Although I think it would be better to add the path to the fpc.cfg.

I was happy with 10.3 for a long time, but all newer versions sucked so much that I stopped using trying Kubuntu (KDE) I
finally arrived at Ubuntu and Gnome. At least Ubuntu supports all the KBD and GUI features that have been dropped from OpenSuse 11.

And beware, installing OpenSuse 11 in a multi-boot environment damaged my disk system, making all other previously installed systems unusable! This may be a new version Grub issue...

You probably mean 11.4. Yes, I think I'll install this version when it's out.

Thanks
Theo

Sorry yes. I mixed the numbers. It means my original claim was not true either. IIRC "zypper dup" works starting from OpenSuse 11.1. I don't have OpenSuse currently in my main machine but I am planning to switch back.

I read about DoDi's hardware related problems. It can be that OpenSuse doesn't support all HW combinations as well as some other distros. I didn't experience that myself though.

I cannot see hardware problems here. I had a working system with Windows, Suse 10.3 and other Linux systems on it, that rejected to boot any system after an attempt to install openSuse 11.0 till 11.2.
