Title: LazarusScripts

New		Line
1	+	## Windows
2	+
3	+	Here is a windows batch script that takes care of checking out and updating Lazarus from GIT to a subdirectory and even basic error fixing, because i have no way of knowing where Lazarus is installed it cannot compile or copy the files to your working Lazarus installation. Please save the script as getlaz.bat or some other name, however there is no warranty of any kind, use at your own risk, put it in a test directory first and make sure there is no subdirectory already called lazarus.

6	+	@echo off
7	+	REM Script for checkout and update Lazarus from SVN
8	+	echo.
9	+
10	+	REM Check if lazarus directory exists to update or checkout first
11	+	if exist lazarus (
12	+	echo Updating Lazarus, please wait ...
13	+	cd lazarus
14	+	git pull
15	+	if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto CleanupLaz
16	+	cd ..
17	+	goto Exit
18	+	)
19	+
20	+	echo Checking out Lazarus for the first time, this might take a while ...
21	+	git clone https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git
22	+	goto Exit
23	+
24	+	:CleanupLaz
25	+	echo.
26	+	echo Something went wrong, please check or delete/move/rename the lazarus subdirectory ...

32	+	## GNU/Linux
33	+
34	+	A trivial script to update the local repository for Lazarus etc..
35	+
36	+	In home-directory, have a special cvsroot-subdirectory.
37	+
38	+	In this directory have a script for downloading Lazarus and other interesting projects.
39	+
40	+	Lazarus is installed in /usr/share/lazarus.
41	+
42	+	Before building a new version with the current remote repository from GitLab I make a backup, just in case the current remote repository is unstable.
43	+
44	+	This is done by moving the /usr/share/lazarus directory to /usr/share/lazarus.BAK
45	+
46	+	To adapt the script to your system, you need to alter the constants defined at the start of the script.
47	+
48	+	It may not be working, as usual and does not catch any errors.
49	+
50	+	``` bash
51	+	#!/bin/bash
52	+
53	+	# get a local copy of the repository prior running this script - so first do:
54	+	# git clone https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git
55	+
56	+	# Define some directories , much better to not put stuff below /usr/ but below /home/
57	+	# must point the the same root as LAZDIR
58	+	BASEDIR=/usr/share/
59	+	# dir of the git repository
60	+	LAZCVSDIR=~/cvsroot/lazarus/
61	+	# dir where lazarus is installed to
62	+	LAZDIR=/usr/share/lazarus/
63	+	# backup dir with the previous lazarus installation
64	+	LAZBACKUP=/usr/share/lazarus.BAK
65	+
66	+	# Remove old backup if it exists
67	+	date +"%T %tStart"
68	+	if [ -d $LAZBACKUP ]
69	+	then
70	+	date +"%T %tRemoving old backup"
71	+	rm $LAZBACKUP -fr
72	+	else
73	+	date +"%T %tNo backup to remove"
74	+	fi
75	+
76	+	date +"%T %tCreating copy of lazarus dir"
77	+	cp -R $LAZDIR $LAZBACKUP
78	+
79	+	# Getting stuff from GitLab
80	+	date +"%T %tUpdate lazarus"
81	+	git pull > ~/cvs_update.log
82	+
83	+	# Copying cloned files to our laz dir.
84	+	date +"%T %tcopying files"
85	+	cp -Rf $LAZCVSDIR $BASEDIR --reply=yes
86	+
87	+	# Make and building of lazarus
88	+	date +"%T %tmake lazarus"
89	+	cd $LAZDIR
90	+	make > /dev/null ### so you don't see all the errors which will inevitably break the script
91	+	date +"%T %tmake the packages"
92	+	make idepkg > /dev/null
93	+	date +"%T %tFinished"
94	+	```
