Hi all,

Good day,

For Lazarus 1.0.14/Ubuntu 64 Precise
I have successfully installed crosscompile win32/i386 and can generate win32 executable. I upgraded to 1.2.
I've moved the old .lazarus to .lazarus_0.14 because Laz 1.2 is unable to upgrade it and was using instead the binary in that directory which is the 1.014 version and can't locate the correct fpcsrc version so I just moved that directory to let the new 1.2 create a new one. I was able again to recompile lazarus to target win32/i386 and generated win32 exe.

However, I accidentally enter the command "mv .lazarus .lazarus_0.14", this command in linux gives you no warning whatsoever that there is an existing directory with that name. So it just followed that command, and my existing .lazarus which has the lazarus1.2 binary that can target win32 was lost. Restoring from .lazarus_0.14 gives me the old lazarus binary. So I think this is just a trivial problem, and to correct this, I started from scratch. I removed again .lazarus and start lazarus to recreate the directory.

When trying to recompile lazarus (Option > Prof to build[Clean Up + Build All] > LCL Widget type[win32/win64] > Target OS:[win32] > Target CPU:[i386]) I have now this error:

make[1]: *** [../units/i386-win32/win32] Error 1
Recompiling fpcsrc doesn't work.

Also the reason why I upgraded to 1.2 is because I want also to target both 1.0.14 and 1.2 emitted this error:
make[1]: *** [../units/i386-linux/gtk2] Error 1

Anybody experience this or have an idea?

Best regards,
Allan

The starter checks the file dates. If your custom built IDE in the .lazarus directory is newer than the IDE installed via the deb package it starts your custom IDE.
Maybe we need a better heuristic.

and can't locate the correct fpcsrc version

What is the correct fpcsrc version?

Normally "mv .lazarus .lazarus_0.14" moves it to
".lazarus_0.14/.lazarus". Your files were not lost, just moved.

Restoring from .lazarus_0.14 gives me the old lazarus binary. So I think this is just a trivial problem, and to correct this, I started from scratch. I removed again .lazarus and start lazarus to recreate the directory.

Ok. This should give you a pretty standard Lazarus 1.2.

Please post the other messages before the error message.

How did you install the cross compiled units for win32?

During Lazarus startup, cannot find the correct location, I must say location of the fpcsrc installed.

My bad. I should have first check the contents of the directory now that I deleted it.

How did you install the cross compiled units for win32?

You mean for these commands:

$ make all OS_TARGET=win32 CPU_TARGET=i386

and then

$ su -c "make crossinstall OS_TARGET=win32 CPU_TARGET=i386"

The IDE searches all common places. Is one common place missing?

Thanks.
The debian packages do not support cross compiling the IDE. Why do you want that?
You can cross compile the packages, which the IDE does automatically when you cross compile your project. No need to use "make" manually.

I have .lazarus v 1.0.14 in my home directory. Uninstalled Lazarus 1.0.14 and install v 1.2, during startup, it uses that directory for environmental setup and now generates an error for locating FPC. My mistake of saying 'location', it still find the directory but failed to recognize that it was the correct directory, that prompted me to move .lazarus. I did not take a screenshot of the error, so I cannot recall of the exact wording, but I think anyone can reproduce the error generated by:
1. Install Lazarus 1.0.14(fpc/fpcsrc).
2. Uninstall only lazarus 1.0.14
3. Install 1.2 version
4. Run Lazarus and wait for the prompt and error at fpc tab during startup.

Thank you.. I see. I am thinking that the (IDE) to get recompiled in order to support win32 objects.

You can cross compile the packages, which the IDE does automatically when you cross compile your project. No need to use "make" manually.

I see. Try to target win32 and now it works. Thank you for your help... Solved...
