Morning list, While getting a Jenkins continuous integration server going....
On Debian 6 (Squeeze), I installed just enough packages to get a compiler and get a compile job going fp-compiler 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Compiler metapackage fp-compiler-2.6.0 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Compiler fp-units-i386 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - kylix compatibility units metapackage fp-units-i386-2.6.0 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - kylix compatibility units fp-units-rtl 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Runtime Library metapackage fp-units-rtl-2.6.0 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Runtime Library fp-utils 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Utils metapackage fp-utils-2.6.0 2.6.0-0 Free Pascal - Utils The manual mentions that the FreePascal distribution comes with the windres resource compiler (http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progse59.html). However, a simple test program containing a {$r resourcet.rc} directive gives: fpc resourcet.pas resourcet.pas(9,1) Error: resource compiler "windres" not found, switching to external mode resourcet.pas(9,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping Fatal: Compilation aborted Error: /usr/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled? Trying to fix it: apt-get install mingw32-binutils gives /usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-windres If I then symlink windres: ln -s /usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-windres /usr/bin/windres compilation works. If it has not already been done so, would it be a good idea for the Debian packager add the relevant package as required/dependency+incorporate the symlink?
