I got it working, somewhat.
It would seem that you have to duplicate the entire FPC lib tree
underneath {UserDir}.fppkg/
No, that should not be necessary. Fppkg uses two locations to install
packages. One is {UserDir}.fppkg (the local version), but the other one
should be the location where fpc is installed. That way there is no need
to duplicate. Read the other mail for hints why it can not find your
global configuration.
The instructions at the page referenced in my last post are very
unclear about that.
I suppose under normal fpc install this is needed because the lib
files are typically only create as root under some folder other than
your $HOME (done during install). This copy (assuming everything in
fpc/lib is needed) results in an extra 900MB of files duplicated and
eating up disk space (I use small SSDs on my laptop),
However, since I always clone FPC and Lazarus from sources and build
somewhere under my $HOME folder (normally $HOME/Development/Base or
$HOME/Development/FreePascal), I was able to set LocalRepository
and GlobalPrefix in ~/.config/fppkg.cfg to my FPC folder
( $HOME/Development/Base/fpc) and then fppkg worked, sort of.
This should have worked 'out-of-the-box', and it should work with fpc
3.0.0-rc2, but it could be that you hane to tweak fpc 3.1.1.
I found that almost all package were already "installed". I take
installed to mean the package source were are already included with
FPC and compile when I ran "make all" some time ago.
Of the 6 package not installed, I could only compile half. The rest
complained with results similar to the following:
Target OS: Linux for x86-64
Compiling custembweb.pp
PPU Loading
/home/gigauser/Development/Base/fpc/lib/fpc/3.1.1/units/x86_64-linux/lnet/lnetssl.ppu
PPU Source: lnetssl.pp not found
Recompiling lNetSSL, checksum changed for openssl
lnetssl.pp(43,57) Fatal: Can't find unit lNetSSL used by lhttp
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Each compiler-version has it's own repository. I did test all packages
in the 3.0.0 repository. I'll update the 3.1.1 packages later.
