What are the known prerequisites for installing Lazarus on a KDE based system?

I am able to build Lazarus using fpcup on existing Ubuntu 12.04 systems running KDE, but I am unable to get it working on a newly installed system so I suspect that some of the required libraries have not been installed on the new system.

Is there a clearly specified list of prerequisites for compiling Lazarus on Debian/Ubuntu with KDE?

RTFM (especially about the docs part) and properly read the "failures" please.

Thanks.

No idea, sorry. I don't use fpcup and I don't know whether it suppresses compiler/assembler/linker messages or not. If you build manually by hand, you'll be able to see a list of "cannot find: -lXXX" which indicates the missing libraries.

OP cross-posted on the forum that he had "identical" systems that did have the correct prereqs where fpcup did work; as indicated on the forum post, recent fpcup will show some missing libraries when running It would help to RTFM/run fpcup -h and run fpcup --lclplatform=qt though.

Alternatively to the above, run fpcup --verbose to show all commands used, make output etc.

Finally, OP may try and run something like dpkg -l on both systems and compare the differences...

RTFM (especially about the docs part) and properly read the "failures" please. Thanks.

I just read the wiki and noticed the --noconfirm option. Although I have a list of fpcup options in my blog I missed it among the large number of options.

IMHO the 'fpcup --verbose --noconfirm > fpcverbose.txt' method should be recommended as the first thing to do if fpcup fails and placed at the top of the Troubleshooting Section in the wiki.

A full compilation takes about 20 minutes on my system and it is much easier on the eye this way.

i will try but i've not found a 'manual' as such... fpcup.txt or similar... all i have is the binary that was downloaded... nothing else other than the built-in help...

Thanks.

you are welcome... i can only try to help make things better when possible ;)

BTW: i do like fpcup... i'm still trying to wrap my head around all of its capabilities and functions... nice work :)

Use 'fpcup --verbose --noconfirm > fpcverbose.txt' and view the output in a text editor. It will much easier and Reinier will be able to help quicker.

Consider increasing the RAM. I was using a 1GB system with no swapfile. When I added a 1GB swapfile the problem simply stopped. The errors point was often the resource creator. There would be an error saying fpcres could not be found. At other times it was the linker.
