It happened to me (again) :(.

After upgrading fpc to the latest svn version, I can't compile the latest svn version of Lazarus.

The problem (first) occurs with RegisterFCL.

(Currently the error is "Can't find unit db used by RegisterFCL", but there had been other units before it did not find. For a test I moved two of the to the dir it in fact searches for fpc units: -Fu/usr/lib/fpc/3.1.1/units/i386-linux/rtl )

Seemingly a unit search dir for some of the fpc stuff is missing.

How to tell the Lazarus make process about those ?

thank,

I resolved a lot of unit referenced to fpc RTL units by defining links for the files in /usr/lib/fpc/3.1.1/units/i386-linux/rtl

(I suppose I should not do that this way, but I don't know another :( )

But later in the make process LCL units and resource files are requested. I could resolve a lot of references creating links in some LCL directory, but at some point this stopped working.

Is it even possible to compile Lazarus with fpc 3.1.1 ?

-Michael

I do it almost daily.

What -Fu paths do you have in your fpc.cfg?

I did suppose something like this.

Am I supposed to manually edit this file even for the unmodified svn d/l ?

-Michael

Normally not.

I have this in my fpc.cfg, it is 2 lines long:

-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/* -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/httpd22

That is all. (on windows the path will look somewhat different) It has not been changed in years and I use it to compile everything.

Michael.

FPC does not care where the sources are coming from. You need a valid fpc.cfg, usually /etc/fpc.cfg .

Mattias

I do have this.

Here multiple times $fpcversion and $fpctarget are used which supposedly are provided by the compiler.

Can it be that the compiler uses wrong values for those ?

How can I check that ? (I did

make FPC=`pwd`/compiler/ppc386 install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

and hoped that would provide for this, and I suppose it did some time ago, as )

In my lazarus/trunk dir (created by svn), there is no fpc.cfg file.

Do you suggest it should ?

-Michael

It should either be in /etc/fpc.cfg or ~/.fpc.cfg

Would you please test whether your installed trunk compiler works correctly (e.g. by compiling a simple helloworld program)? Maybe also add -vi if necessary so that the compiler will print its version information while compiling.

there is one in /etc/fpc.cfg

it's rather long but it does include the lines

-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/httpd22

i.e. without the /local".

in fact in /usr/lib I do have /usr/lib/fpc/3.1.1/units/i386-linux/....

"fpc" comes up with

Free Pascal Compiler version 3.1.1 [2016/04/05] for i386

so $fpcversion = 3.1.1 and $fpctarget = i386-linux might be correct.

*Later:**
**
**deleting a seemingly broken ~/.fpc.cfg file **did the trick. ** **
**Thanks a lot for your help!**
