Hi,

I'm not much experienced in linux environment, mostly familiar with windows. Once successfully installed lazarus in ubuntu having non-limited internet access, but today I tried to do the same downloading and installing minimum deb packages (fpc-compiler and rtl it required) and using sources of fpc and lazarus from another windows machine.

The problem is that make clean all for lazarus says "Can't find unit process used by RegisterFCL". I copied the sources to tried to make clean all for fpc (/usr/lib/fpc/2.4.2/sources) and in contrary to windows tree structure all output units were created as subtrees to sources (for example /fpc/2.4.2/source/packages/fcl-process/units/i386-linux/process.ppu) and the only folder inside /usr/lib/fpc/2.4.2/units was "rtl".

What should I change in the config or maybe something else to solve this? As I understood fpc.cfg should not contain reference to source files. I read documentation, great pdf file about building, but I still miss something.

Thanks in advance

Max

How did you install FPC and Lazarus. What packages did you install?

The problem is that make clean all for lazarus says "Can't find unit process used by RegisterFCL".

You probably have no or a wrong /etc/fpc.cfg.

Yes. Unless you only want to play a bit.

I read documentation, great pdf file about building, but I still miss something.

You'll have to install fp-units-fcl, which contains fcl-process.

You have to make install.

It's
fp-units-rtl_2.4.2-0_i386.deb and
fp-compiler_2.4.2-0_i386.deb
from
ftp://193.224.143.39/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.2/i386-linux/deb/ installed

The rest was just copied sources of fpc and lazarus from a windows installation that I tried to compile.

hmm, It existed and looked correct, I just tried to go a way when only minimum number of binary packages is downloaded and installed and the rest is build from sources.

As Henry suggested I probably should do make install, I will try tomorrow,

Thanks

It's the custom on linux to install the stuff that you build from source into /usr/local/. The debs will install into /usr, so you will have to doctor your fpc.cfg, which will point to /usr by default. You can, however, use the INSTALL_PREFIX variable on the make command line to change the default install prefix.

If you're not going to work on fpc, just install the relevant debs so that you can get lazarus to work (e.g. fcl, gtk, etc).

Henry

Thanks, Henry, I did as you suggested and everything worked fine. Now when I'm a little more familiar with how it's all working on linux I understand that actually http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org and mail-list search results contains all necessary information (so I probably could not bother you and others), just that if I did this without your help I had to collect pieces from different places.

A few days ago I had the same problem. I solved remaking the FPC.CFG file with "/usr/bin/fpcmkcfg", and change this line in the new fpc.cfg file:

-Fu~/fpc/packages/base/*/units/;~/fpc/fcl/units/;~fpc/rtl/units/

to this

-Fu /usr/lib/fpc/2.5.1/units/*

I dont know if it's correct, but worked.

I'm using FPC 2.5.1 and Lazarus 0.9.31 30371 on Ubuntu 11.04.

These are the sources. It's a bad idea to add source directories to the fpc.cfg, because they can create conflicts.

to this -Fu /usr/lib/fpc/2.5.1/units/*

?
Yes, this is the normal way.

-Fu~/fpc/packages/base/*/units/;~/fpc/fcl/units/;~fpc/rtl/units/ These are the sources. It's a bad idea to add source directories to the

fpc.cfg,

when i remade the fpc.cfg with fpcmkcfg, this line "-Fu~/fpc/packages/base/*/units/;~/fpc/fcl/units/;~fpc/rtl/units/" been generated automaticaly, but dont worked, to work correctly i needed to change to " -Fu /usr/lib/fpc/2.5.1/units/*"

sorry to my poor english
