Title: FPCupDeLuxe install on Linux cheatsheet
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | long story short: | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | - install Lazarus via **apt** or some other package-manager | |
| 4 | + | - download, unzip and compile [[fpcupdeluxe]] - or use fpcupdeluxe-binary and omit steps 1 and 3 | |
| 5 | + | - purge the above Lazarus | |
| 6 | + | - now use [[fpcupdeluxe]] to install an isolated Laz: choose **trunk**, **x86_64**, **linux**, **trunk** and click the **green thumbs-up button**. | |
| 7 | + | - **fpc**, the actual Pascal compiler, will not be in the searchpath, hence **make** will require extra parameters; a mere **make all** won't work now. | |
| 8 | + | - Use the provided launcher in ~ or home/YOU/Desktop (.desktop file) to run "**startlazarus**" employing a **--[[pcp]]** directive to keep multiple Lazaruses apart. | |
| 9 | + | - This method may or may not succeed. It can be made to work though. | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | ## Likely problems to occur | |
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + | Since the Mint / Ubuntu Laz package and f.deluxe do not harmonize, you will very likely end up with 2 compilers in \$PATH if you mix **f-deluxe**, **make** from sources and **apt** methods. Do **ls** to verify in case that nothing ever compiles due to "**unit not found**" errors : | |
| 14 | + | ||
| 15 | + | ``` bash | |
| 16 | + | ls -l /usr/bin/fpc-3.0.0 ## mv /xx | |
| 17 | + | ls -l /usr/local/bin/fpc ## <--- which fpc -- must remain ! | |
| 18 | + | ``` | |
| 19 | + | ||
| 20 | + | Move /usr/bin/fpc* out of the path e.g. | |
| 21 | + | ||
| 22 | + | `sudo mv -f /usr/bin/fpc* /xxbroken` | |
| 23 | + | ||
| 24 | + | After IDE restart, everything compiles nicely. | |
| 25 | + | ||
| 26 | + | > **Note:** This condition can also be found via clicking <span class="kbd">project options</span> button, then <span class="kbd">Test</span> [[IDE Window: Project Options|Test-button]] to find problematic path settings. | |
