The problem was that in certain cases of Linux (Ubuntu?) the desktop file execution does not correctly pick up the $HOME/bin folder in path and that is where the binaries wind up. Michel had the same problem and found this solution. (I should have quoted the actual solution in my last message rather than referencing the old thread... So I am doing it now below.) The normal Exec line in the desktop file looks like this (on one single line): Exec=/home/user/devel/lazarus/2.0.12/startlazarus --pcp=/home/user/.lazarus_2.0.12 %f And the modified line like this: Exec=/bin/bash -l -c '/home/user/devel/lazarus/2.0.12/startlazarus --pcp=/home/user/.lazarus_2.0.12' The first results in Lazarus *not* finding the binaries it needs, whereas the second makes sure to load the correct path into the session. This will not be affected by any form of build. Notice that when fpc and lazarus are built it is in a terminal session started by user and given the full path including to $HOME/bin So the standalone build process works whereas the lazarus session started from the Ubuntu menu using the desktop file only works with Michel's modifications. I can confirm that the solution back in 2020 which worked then still works in this new environment today. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
