I'm trying to build Lazarus 1.0 RC1
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/Lazarus%201.0RC1/). I want to install a component (GLScene).

When I do "Optimized IDE" build I get this error:

Looks like an error in FPC.

And there already is a workaround in the lazarus source. But it is conditional

And it looks there is a typo. Open the unit and find:

{$IFDEF CPU64}
{$IF (FPC_FULLVERSION = 2060) or (FPC_FULLVERSION = 20501)}
   {$DEFINE ISSUE_20850 }
{$ENDIF}
{$ENDIF}

replace 2060 with 20600

It worked, but now:

Unable to find file "registersqldb.pas".
If it belongs to your project, check search path in Project -> Compiler Options -> Search Paths -> Other Unit Files. If this file belongs to a package, check the appropriate package compiler options. If this file belongs to lazarus, make sure compiling clean. If the file belongs to FPC then check fpc.cfg. If unsure, check Project -> CompilerOptions -> Test

Thank you,

That is a known bug : http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=22579

RC1 doesn't build on linux x64.

Thank you! I'll follow the issue.

That is not 100% true. I use 64-bit Linux (OpenSUSE 12.01), and I've tested and build RC1 multiple times. The only failure I had was due to an outdated FPC 2.6.1

The problem is with Lazarus and fpc 2.6.0 installed from the release deb's. Lazarus is installed in non-user land and when re-building lazarus, new .o and .ppu files are stored in the users ~/.lazarus dir branch. Problem is that when compiling lazarus.pp it is looking in a different ~/.lazarus subdir then when building packages and ends up with loading an older unit from the original distribution.
Don't know if the same happens when installing from rpm.

Ah, OK. For those users I then recommend installing from the source release .zip or .tar.gz file. At least then you can continue testing Lazarus.

That's what I'm usually doing. I was just setting up a new system and wanted to give rc1 a try. If everybody continues installing from source, RC1 won't get a lot of testing, does it? Can you imagine the dent in the reputation of lazarus when this bug made it in 1.0 final?

RC1 is still the same "product" even if you install it from RPM, DEB's or Source. So yes, the 1.0rc1 product will still get testing. At least you can continue testing it using the Sources, and not stop testing completely just because you stumbled on the first hurdle - the installation.

Hopefully they fix the RPM, DEB's issues for RC2 so that the "installation" part can be tested too.
