Just thought I'd post a quick note in case it's useful..

I've got fpcup set up to build the IDE, tools (e.g. lazdatadesktop) with fpc trunk on a Linux x64 VM.

As I'm building with debug info enabled, there might be some usable info in the output...

Why is your LCL.compiled empty?

lazbuild -B should repair a broken state file (by ignoring it). Does that work?

Maybe because lazbuild crashes as the output above indicates? (I'm sure you've considered that but as you know I'm not afraid of stating the obvious or even the obviously wrong ;) )

Did
./lazbuild -B --build-ide=-dKeepInstalledPackages
(as that should include the LCL as well, right?)
.... a whole lot of Missing state file lines such as the one below ... TLazPackageGraph.CheckIfCurPkgOutDirNeedsCompile Missing state file for pascalscript 0.0.0.1:

The above output is about *reading* the empty file. Something created the empty file before that.
For example if your disk is full, this can happen. But then again, you should have seen a write error.

Fixed.

Mattias

Ok, thanks.

Searching for the string error gives nothing in my output log before the Error reading file message (and units named error etc)

Thanks.

Removed .ppus, and ran fpcup again.
Worked flawlessly.... so whatever it was probably just went away (or some error lead to a .compiled file with invalid xml which your fix fixed).

THanks, Mattias!
