I have project that builds in Lazarus but is getting dependency errors using lazbuild.

Simple question, what lazbuild options do I need so it behaves exactly like the build command in lazarus?

Thanks.

Note that some IDE addons alter the build process, e.g. adding macros. lazbuild cannot support that.

Can you give some more details?

This project builds in lazarus but a simple lazbuild command on the project file gives me this error. Not sure what is different in lazbuild then the IDE.

Lazbuild in a while.

Ryan,

can you check what versions of FPC you have installed (and where), which of those is found from the PATH by `which fpc`, and which of those is configured for Lazarus?

Fppkg does not play well with user-local installations and wholly ignores the CompPath config of Lazarus, so it may look for an old path that is no longer present. There have been a few changes to that recently, so if your lazbuild is of a different version, it may follow another logic than lazarus.

That was it! I was using a version of lazbuild from another lazarus installation. Works now that I’m using the correct lazbuild.

Thanks.
