I'm attempting to use thashset from the fcl-stl unit.

It appears that fcl-stl is not compiled with the fpc that comes with Lazarus-0.9.31-35589-fpc-2.6.1-20120225-win32.

While fcl-stl is in the source, it is not found in the units directory tree. (this is also true of fpc-2.7.1.i386-win32 that I downloaded yesterday).

Any suggestions how I might get a version of fpc that includes fcl-stl? -------------- next part --------------

I have ghashset.ppu and .o in fcl-stl/units/i386-win32.

Any suggestions how I might get a version of fpc that includes fcl-stl?

IMO it's a Lazarus only problem. The Lazarus *fcl package* includes only *very* few fcl units. Try to add the required unit(s) directly to your project, and accept adding the recommended unit search path. You probably can remove the unit reference afterwards, when the added path is sufficient (untested). A proper solution should add all FCL units to the Lazarus fcl package, though.

2.6.1 does not install them.
2.7.1 does. At least under Linux and OS X.

I don't know why 2.6.1 does not install them. Maybe they were not stable. You could ask on the fpc list.

Please create a bug report for fpc.

I have ghashset.ppu and .o in fcl-stl/units/i386-win32.

That's only the precompiled version.
He was asking about the installed version of the ppu file.

No. What fpc installs and what no is entirely up to the FPC team.

Yes, only those that register design time items in Lazarus.

Try to add the required unit(s) directly to your project, and accept adding the recommended unit search path. You probably can remove the unit reference afterwards, when the added path is sufficient (untested).

It would be better to fix this in the fpc packages.

No.

A bug, #19916, fixed in 2.7.1

Bug #19916 was closed ~ 6 months ago.
I downloaded 2.7.1 yesterday and it did not include fcl-stl. I'll ask on the fpc list.
Thanks all.

I did a quick test by manually building and installing FPC 2.7.1 on i386-win32. There fcl-stl is included in the installation. But you are indeed right that it is not included in the snapshot download. Please file a bug report.

Sven (or others), can you point me to a reference document on how to build fpc on a windows system?

Here for example: http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf

But basically the following should be sufficient:
* I assume the source is located in %FPCSRC% and a 2.6 is installed in %FPCBIN% (it's also ok if it is in %PATH%). I further assume that you want to install 2.7.1 to %FPCDEST%
* open cmd.exe and navigate to %FPCSRC%
* if the 2.6 compiler is in %PATH%:
make all install INSTALL_PREFIX=%FPCDEST%
* if not:
make all install INSTALL_PREFIX=%FPCDEST% FPC=%FPCBIN%\i386-win32\fpc.exe

Then you copy %FPCBIN%\i386-win32\fpc.cfg to %FPCDEST%\i386-win32\ and adjust any paths in there so that they fit your new %FPCDEST%

That should be it. You can then call the compiler using %FPCDEST%\i386-win32\fpc.exe

Sorry, I didn't understand "installed", in Lazarus context. Only after reading further replies I realized that the FPC "make install" was meant.
