Hi All!
I have been beating my head against the wall trying to get the latest
versions of fpc and lazarus installed on an almost plain vanilla
Raspberry Pi.
The reason I say "almost plain vanilla" is that I have setup TightVNC,
ftp, svn, etc. on a 16GB SD card loaded with raspbian-jessie. I have
this backed up on my laptop so I can restart from a usable configuration.
Up until now, I have fpc 2.9.4 and Lazarus 1.5 working on a NOOBS SD
Card (that is too small for what I need to do). That version of Lazarus
has a bug that has been fixed in 1.6 so I would like to get 1.6 or 1.7
working.
I am using an example tracked down from the FreePascal.org website. The
ultimate website is:
http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/raspberry-pi/install-lazarus-pascal-on-raspberry-pi-2/#getfpc
Going step-by-step from this site:
It says to install fpc 2.6.4 as the bootstrap compiler. Another place
says 3.0.0 is the
required bootstrap. I can't find 3.0.0 for Pi so here goes with 2.6.4.
# sudo su
# mkdir /usr/local/fpc
# cd /usr/local/fpc
# wget
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Linux/2.6.4/fpc-2.6.4.arm-linux.tar
# tar xvf fpc-2.6.4.arm-linux.tar
# cd fpc-2.6.4.arm-linux
### answer first prompt with /usr/local, the rest with <cr>
# ./install.sh
# cd /usr/local/fpc
# svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk source
Checked out revision 32692.
# cd source
# make all OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF
Much text, followed by
types.pp(652,17) Error: function header doesn't match the previous
declaration "TRectF.Union(const TRectF):<record type>;"
types.pp(667) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Makefile:3711: recipe for target 'types.ppu' failed
-----
I have tried various combinations of suggestions from this website and
others and have yet to be able to get fpc and/or lazarus to compile and
install from sources. The errors are different, but the result is the
same: no fpc/lazarus.:'(
Can anyone point me to instructions/examples that work on the Raspberry
Pi using raspbian-jessie?
Thanks,
Don Ziesig.
