Hi,

under Raspbian Stretch (current version) on a Pi 3B+,  making of Lazarus 2 fails. What's the reason, how to fix?

I do not know enough to parse an error dump, but as I have reported here in another hread about building Lazarus 2.0.0 using Fpc 3.0.4 I got it working fine *after* I changed the swap size to 1GB. I had forgotten all about thta in the time since I built Lazarus 1.6 on another RPi.

So change the swap space to 1GB and retry, chances are it will work.

If you are already using 1GB swap, then disregard this message. The problem is elsewhere. But my build script, which I use on all RPi devices I make, works just fine wity 1GB swap.
I wrote it specifically to not forget stuff I need to do to get Fpc/lazarus on to a new RPi unit. But I cannot script the swap space...

Is there any way to script a test for swap space so I can display an error in my script and exit if swap is too small?
(Not good at bash scripting)

Bo, I changed the swap file size from 100 to 1000 and just got the same error. Anyway - Thank you!

See https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=34787

i delete the whole installation and it works. At this time i think i was alone with this issue. But now i see more and more people with the same issue.

For a fast fix, delete the extra lines in the makefile.
