Hi All!

I've been happily coding away all day on my Raspberry Pi 2B+, when all at once I got the error:

Compile package LCL 1.7 : Exit code 256, Errors 1
Fatal: Invalid PPU-File entry 121

I tried rebuilding using Run | Clean up and Build, but got the same error (after a few minutes of compiling, assembling, ... ).

The error message is rather cryptic for a user as opposed to a developer. What is PPU-File entry 121?

I am going to try shutdown and restart after I send this email. (Works for Windows, so... :-D )

I'm using:

Lazarus 1.7 dated 01-22-2016
FPC 3.0.0
SVN 51308

The OS is the latest version of raspbian as of the end of January.

Any advice (well almost any advice ;-) ) will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don Ziesig

It means either you have a broken ppu file, or you spotted a bug in the compiler.
First try to build clean.
If this does not work, try to find the broken ppu file by compiling with -vut.

Well, looks like it works for Raspbian as well as Windows. Shutdown, power off, reboot and rebuild ran to completion and I can now go back to happily coding :-) . I wonder if we will have to do this if our Google Cars stop running.
