Hi.

The scrips avaliable in
"http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Manager" are not compatible with FPC-2.5.1 on Linux.

What is the best step to install the FPC-2.5.1 and Lazarus-0.9.31 on Ubuntu (11.04)?

Thanks for any response.

I wonder how you found this page. The Wiki says that no page links to this page.

The recommended way is to use the svn versions.

Well, at least it appears under the "Lazarus category"

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Category:Lazarus

But yes, I have never seen that page either. The joys of a wiki - it's only as good as its internal links. :-)

Oh :o , but it's there, see: http://imagebin.org/154790.

I've tried following this tutorial, but unsuccessfully. :(

The page is not outdated, and they works perfectly with stable fpc/lazarus revisions.
silvioprog has problem with 2.5.1 trunk, not 2.4.2 that is installed with these scripts.

Just two days ago I used the linux scripts on Ubuntu 11.04 x86 and it worked like a charm.
Same thing on Windows 7 Home Premium (but I had to add FPC path before first reboot).

My suggestion for the release version is:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/

It detects your OS and suggests a direct download: lazarus-0.9.30-i386.deb.tar under Linux
lazarus-0.9.30-fpc-2.4.2-win32.exe under WinXP

How do you configure the script to install FPC-2.5.1?

Regards, Kjow

2011/5/24 Alexsander Rosa :

I need:

FPC-2.5.1
Laz-0.9.31

I don't need OpenGL, and neither of cross-compile, so, what lines I remove from the script?

My script (fail in "sudo alien -i -c

I tried with 2.5.1 + 0.9.31 long time ago, so I don't really know if there are problems actually, but if you open the script with an editor you can find all you need. E.g.:

From row #16:

/-----------------------/
#swap --> swap # of the two rows below to choose between FPC 2.4.2 and 2.5.1 and go to line 53 <--
FPCVER="2.4.2"
#FPCVER="2.5.1"
/-----------------------/

should became:

/-----------------------/
#swap --> swap # of the two rows below to choose between FPC 2.4.2 and 2.5.1 and go to line 53 <--
#FPCVER="2.4.2"
FPCVER="2.5.1"
/-----------------------/

Then goto row #53 and then:

From:

/-----------------------/
#swap --> swap REM of the two rows below to choose between FPC 2.4.2 and 2.5.1 and go to line 71 <--
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_4_2 fpc #svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc /-----------------------/

To:

/-----------------------/
#swap --> swap REM of the two rows below to choose between FPC 2.4.2 and 2.5.1 and go to line 71 <--
#svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_4_2 fpc svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc /-----------------------/

Then goto row 71, etc...

I'm glad to hear that :)

Mattias

Huh?
The page is about installing via svn.
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus

Maybe you confused it with the page about installing from repository: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus

You have an old/bad version.
Try to redownload it...

But I repeat, I don't know if the script is fully working with fpc 2.5.1 and laz 0.9.31.
For your knowledge, you can try to install all with original script (so fpc 2.4.2+laz 0.9.31 and binutils). If it works, delete all installed things and try to install all step by step with "2.5.1" settings (you can do a simple copy and paste on terminal)

Hmm, this page is a big mess.
Ok, you are right, the "Getting Lazarus" page contains the hints for installing binaries as well.
The "Installing Lazarus" should be renamed/splitted. It's confusing, but maybe parts can be used.

Install lazarus and fpc via svn in ubuntu is very complex. :S

Actually it's easy:
First install the standard ubuntu package of Lazarus. This will install all dependencies.
Then follow the instructions on the Getting Lazarus page: download the fpc, compile it and install it. Download lazarus svn, compile it, but do not install it. Start the new lazarus.

2.4.2 is old. ( :-) )

2011/5/25 Marco van de Voort :

I can't catch the irony :)
Current stable svn is 2.4.2

This morning update:
Lazarus 0.9.30 r30895M FPC 2.4.2 i386-win32-win32/win64

The _FPC_ stable branch is currently the 2.4.x series.

The version of the stable branch is 2.4.5, the last release of the stable branch is 2.4.4

This morning update: Lazarus 0.9.30 r30895M FPC 2.4.2 i386-win32-win32/win64

That's still packing the old compiler, yes :-)

2.4.2 and 2.4.4 are mostly compatible btw, there are only very few compiler fixes to 2.4.4. Most is libraries.

But I'm just teasing, I'm sure in due time lazarus/stable will migrate to 2.4.4

2011/5/26 Marco van de Voort :

so if i download the first time from:
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_2_4_2 fpc

and then I update with a simple: svn up is not enough?

Which way to follow to stay everytime updated?

Thanks :)

Kjow wrote

Use the following repository URL instead.

http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_4

A 'svn up' will keep you updated for all FPC 2.4.x releases and latest fixes.

I think about trying the following steps:

1. Installing Free Pascal from repository;
2. Download the sources from the Free Pascal 2.5.1 (via SVN);
3. Compile and install FPC-2.5.1;
4. Uninstall old Free Pascal;
5. Download and install the Lazarus from SVN;

Am I right? :/

Thx.

If you use "make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr" you have to fix the symlink:
ln -sf /usr/lib/fpc/2.5.1/ppc386 /usr/bin/ppc386

4. Uninstall old Free Pascal; 5. Download and install the Lazarus from SVN; Am I right? :/

Yes.
You may have to install the development packages of gtk2 before building the gtk2 version of the IDE.

Mattias

Hi,

So friends, this is my alpha script:

http://pastebin.com/CrVWkDPm

So, the line 70 (#sudo make install PREFIX=/usr
PP=/usr/lib/fpc/2.5.1/ppc386) isn't necessary, correct?

Thx.

Yes.
You should add a
set -e
to stop on errors.

And you can combine apt-get to
apt-get install -y fpc subversion

Mattias

2011/5/31 Mattias Gaertner :

Yes. You should add a set -e to stop on errors.

Where? In Make?

See if it's correct:

http://pastebin.com/k3J0AYWc

And you can combine apt-get to apt-get install -y fpc subversion

Yes:

(...)
sudo apt-get install -y subversion fpc fp-utils fpc-source fp-units-misc (...)
sudo apt-get remove -y fpc fp-utils fpc-source fp-units-misc fp-* (...)

Mattias

No, at the beginning of your script.

#!/bin/sh
# Script by silvioprog - http://silvioprog.com.br
set -e

Mattias

2011/5/31 Mattias Gaertner :

Perfect!

I'll test the script again in other VMs (Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04...). When I finish I will share the script in SVN of Lazarus-BR: http://code.google.com/p/lazarus-br/.

Thx again.

Now I need of a script to update my SVN, so, I made this:

Yes. I changed my install script to:

No. Only in 99% it is enough to do a lazbuild --build-ide=. After updating Lazarus svn you should do a 'make clean all'. This is the only guaranteed way that handles all changes - like fixes to lazbuild and renaming of packages.

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

Mattias

P.S. your script does not support multiple installations.

2011/6/2 Mattias Gaertner :
[...]

OK. This is my ultimate script (to update):

http://pastebin.com/qjqPJDqr

Now is OK! :)

Thanks again. ;)

Note:
The build-all and recursive is not needed, because you did a "make clean" before.
They may be needed for third party packages, that are not configured properly (for example if some units were not added to the lpk).

Now is OK! :)

Yes, if it does what you expect.

I would make the

sudo make install PREFIX=/usr

line

something like

sudo make install PREFIX=/usr PP=~/fpc/compiler/ppc386

This because otherwise you install with the version of the globally installed compiler instead of the just built one, potentially overwriting a stable (2.4.4) with an unstable (2.4.5)

Has something changed? A make install should just install files. Since when does it need a compiler for that?

Mattias

To know where to install the units. I have already crushed my 2.4.4 units (default compiler) with 2.5.1 svn units because I forgot to specify the compiler.

Ludo

This never happened to me. But I used the INSTALL_PREFIX instead of PREFIX. Maybe this makes a difference?

Mattias

I didn't specify any PREFIX. The default /usr/local is fine for me. I only use one 2.5.1.

Ludo

Since the parameter -i emerged. A long, long time ago :-)

: Since

The compiler is used to retrieve cpu, operating system and version.
