I am please to announce the launch of a new initiative to promote Free Pascal and Lazarus. The hub of this initiative is http://www.getlazarus.org

The get Lazarus initiative aims to an reintroduce Lazarus to the software development world. To aide in this endeavor we've created our own special Lazarus bundles for Windows, Mac, and Linux with test versions of Free Pascal 3.0 Lazarus 1.4. We believe these bundles are the easiest Lazarus environments to install ever, and they won't interfere with your existing Free Pascal and Lazarus environments. We've also built-in support for full cross compile between platforms by default.

Our initiative hub http://www.getlazarus.org is built on a new custom wiki engine which allows for creation of some highly interactive wiki pages. The showcase page http://www.getlazarus.org/community/showcase is a good example of this.

We also have a new Lazarus forum http://www.getlazarus.org/forums themed to match the initiative. We're going to be looking for forum moderators and official wiki administrators soon. See this forum topic for consideration http://www.getlazarus.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3

And finally we are forming a professional Free Pascal and Lazarus consultant network for select few community members. Members will be invited to participate in commercial software projects as requests are filtered through our site.

Thank you to everyone for your attention and thank you for helping to promote Free Pascal and Lazarus! It's a great time to be a Lazarus fan! -------------- next part --------------

It looks like your

/home/luca/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin/fpc.cfg

Is being interpreted incorrectly and the wrong ppcx64 is being used. This line in setup.sh is correctly setting the config path.

PPC_CONFIG_PATH=$BASE/fpc/bin

But this line isn't generating the correct fpc.cfg values.

$PPC_CONFIG_PATH/fpcmkcfg -d basepath=$BASE/fpc/lib/fpc/\$FPCVERSION -o $PPC_CONFIG_PATH/fpc.cfg

In the end you have a compiler conflict where you existing fpc in /usr/bin/ppcx64 is being used instead of the new one in /home/luca/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin/ppcx64.

First, check if /home/luca/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin/ppcx64 exists. Second write the following and see what is reported:

OLD_PATH=$PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/home/luca/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin export PPC_CONFIG_PATH=/home/luca/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin fpc -iV
PATH=$OLD_PATH

If you don't see:

3.0.1

Then I need to fix the fpcmkcfg line to compensate for other preexisting versions of FPC which is reading fpc.cfg differently. In the interim I've posted a new setup.sh which should temporarily put the new compiler first in the path giving it precedence. To try again use the following commands:

rm -rf /home/luca/Development/FreePascal
curl -L http://www.getlazarus.org/download/?platform=linux -o setup.sh sh setup.sh

After setup is complete try:

OLD_PATH=$PATH
export PATH=/home/luca/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin/:$PATH export PPC_CONFIG_PATH=/home/luca/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin fpc -iV
PATH=$OLD_PATH

And let me know if it reads:

3.0.1

Yes, that's it: my fpc resides in /usr/bin so it's used before the newly compiled one

I'll try.

With the updated setup.sh lazarus builds correctly and starts at the end of the build process.
