Thanks Ludo.

It worked !!

Felipe, I was right; I was stupid not to test with the latest "fpc" version (2.6.0) :-|

(
Lazarus has been compiled and built successfully.
However, when I am invoking fpc from command line as

========================================================== fpc -S2cgi -O1 -gl -WG -vewnhi -l
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/$ARCH-$OS/
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/$ARCH-$OS/
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/$ARCH-$OS/gtk2/
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/packager/units/$ARCH-$OS/ -Fu. -o./magnifier -dLCL -dLCLgtk2 magnifier.dpr
==========================================================

I get the error :

Error: Illegal parameter : -WG

If you guys know the solution to this on top of your head; please let me know. Else, I am already looking into the docs :-) )

Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

-WG is only used for windows and OS/2. Uncheck the windows gui option in project options/linking. Save that as your default for new projects,

Ludo

Thanks Ludo and Felipe.

Just one last favour: how is Lazarus installed, after it has been compiled (successfully) from the previous steps.

I am stuck at the point : "Can't find unit Interfaces used by lente" (this happens when I run the command (with the -WG option removed)

fpc -S2cgi -O1 -gl -vewnhi -l
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/$ARCH-$OS/
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/$ARCH-$OS/
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units/$ARCH-$OS/gtk2/
-Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/packager/units/$ARCH-$OS/ -Fu. -o./magnifier -dLCL -dLCLgtk2 magnifier.dpr

I ask this (as to how to install Lazarus AFTER compiling through "make bigedie"), because I had faced the exact same message (the "lente" one), when I tried building "magnifier" on my x86-based Fedora-14. I had then installed Lazarus _as a rpm_ on the x86-based Fedora-14, and the "magnifier" was then built.

So I am sure, that Lazarus has not been installed, though it has been compiled.

Please, one last favour.

Can't thank you guys enough already.

Yours truly.
Ajay

In Tools/Options/Environment set the Lazarus Directory to the directory where you have installed lazarus. When you do just a 'make' the lazarus directory is the directory where you did the 'make'.

Ludo

Thanks Ludo.

I set the paths, and the architecture correctly in the script (had to replace "arm7l" with "arm").
It proceeded forward.

I now face a new problem :
"""
Fatal: Can't find unit AvgLvlTree used by LCLProc" Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/bin/ppcarm returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)
"""

A gentle reminder, for guidance. :-)
