[fpc-pascal] fp
Hi, I have some trouble with fpc on my AMD64 (FC5). I have installed everything but fp (the IDE) is missing. Looking in the contents of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (using smart) fp is not available. Is it possible that it is missing or is it purposely not put in the package. Joep ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

In the mean time I found that using smart as install tool fpc 2.0.2.4 can be obtained but I want to retain the snapshot. Can you give me the URI for the download site as I cannot find it on the freepascal.org site. And maybe you can shed some light on another problem I have with lazarus. It starts OK but all units I want to use are stroked-through and are unusable (I know I have to ask in the lazarus community).

Felipe thanks, but that is not much relevant as it has to do with fpc running in 32-bit Linux on a AMD64 and that works( at least it did last year) but I want to run it in 64-bit Linux. I have installed the overnight snapshot fpc-2.1.1-20060702.x86_64.rpm and it src companion without problems. However, fp is missing so I cannot start the ide (is it not in this package?). Then I installed lazarus-0.9.17-20060702.x86_64.rpm Also without a problem. when I started it the lazarus environment appeared. It gave a lot of warnings apparently due to the fact that the config-file was not quite correct but at least it started. However, I cannot do anything at all. When I try to drag e.g. a button to the form the buttonname is crossed and no button appears on the form. In the console it is complaining with all kind of messages (part is following): [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# lazarus [3] 22538 [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# TApplication.IconChanged - TODO: convert this message...no implementation in gtk or win32 NOTE: miscellaneous options file not found - using defaults NOTE: codetools config file not found - using defaults NOTE: help options config file not found - using defaults TMainIDE.DoNewProject A TMainIDE.DoNewEditorFile A NewFilename= [TCustomFormEditor.CreateComponent] Class='TForm' TMainIDE.DoNewEditorFile end unit1.pas TApplication.HandleException Access violation Stack trace: $003A16C3D242 and then a lot of lines like this, but it doesn't crash. I have not much experience with Lazarus so I have to dig into the manual(s) but at least it's a start. The same happens when I start as a normal user and not as god. Well a start is made. I first am going to find out where I can find the IDE, the lazarus problem will follow. If somebody has suggestions pleas let me know.

Does it work on AMD64 ? Please test! =) There is no pre-compiled binary for download, that´s for sure, but this may be because there is no mainteiner. I think it works. Well, it even works on win64! If this does work, you could consider taking the Lazarus source RPM, compile it and produce a amd64 rpm package, and send it back to be included as a Lazarus download. There are no x86_64 rpms, because at first we didn't have access to a x86_64 to build it. When I got (ssh-)access to one I started building snapshots using fpc 2.1.1, see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Lazarus_Snapshots_Downloads for downloads. (Don't forget to read the disclaimer.) IMHO fpc 2.0.2 is not stable enough for lazarus on x86_64, so no releases are made yet. I hope the upcoming fpc 2.0.4 will be good enough. Vincent. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal Akain, Filipe, Vincent, Thanks for your answers and advice. At least it's reassuring that's not ignorance on my side that causes the problems. With the limited use of the examples ( I only tested a few) it seems that fpc 2.0.2-4.fc5 (is that a snapshot version? I can't find it on the site) is working out-of-the-(rpm)box but that the IDE fails. Of course you can write programs using some editor but from the earliest (Borland) pascal on, the IDE was an invaluable tool. I would like to know why it won't start in a 64-bit environment and if there is a source that can be compiled separately and is compatible with fpc 2.0.2-4.fc5. Filipe, I will try to compile a source but I assume I have to change the makefile rather heavily to account for the different environment and the different fpc version. Although being retired my time is limited (for various reasons) so it may take a while. You'll here from me.

No, you won´t. If you look into the Makefile you will notice it is already prepared for a huge number of architectures-operating system combinations. Also, the compiler version doesn´t change it´s executable name, so it has no effect on the Makefile. Only be careful to have the correct version on the compiler on the Path in case you have 2 different compilers installed. Really, it´s just: make clean all =) If it fails and the path is correct, then the compiler version is the problem. thanks, Felipe, Thanks. I will first try the current .rpm snapshot which is especially for 64-bit as well of fpc as for Lazarus.

[fpc-pascal] Installation of Lazarus
A small question: The latest version of Lazarus I can find is 0.9.12-0. It requests the use of fpc-2.0.2-0. However, the latest fpc - which I have downloaded - is 2.0.2-3. Therefore Lazarus complains. Do I have to install the older version of fpc? (which means forcing rpm to install the older version) or is there an updated Lazarus or can I trick Lazarus to use the newer version? Thanks in advance.

[fpc-pascal] fp can't find the correct libraries
I sent Wednesday this request also but perhaps it wasn't seen. I was able to launch fp and read in the example progralm HelloWorld. However, this program (and any other program) will compile as the error is: Fatal: Can't find unit System But when I look in fpc.cfg the path for units is correct: # searchpath for units and other system dependent things -Fu/usr/lib64/fpc/2.0.0/units/$fpctarget -Fu/usr/lib64/fpc/2.0.0/units/$fpctarget/* -Fu/usr/lib64/fpc/2.0.0/units/$fpctarget/rtl #-Fu~/fpc/packages/base/*/units/;~/fpc/fcll/units/;~/fpc/rtl/units/ Well, my unit directory is /usr/lib64/fpc/2.0.0/units/x86_64-linux/ but I don't know where the variable fpctarget is initialised, I assume in fp but cant find it. I have tried to set the path directly (in options) however with no effect. The system is: AMD64 3000+ (1 GB mem, 80 GB disks) FC4 2.6.12. Another problem is that Lazarus complains: fpc = 2.0.1-050923 is needed by lazarus-0.9.10-0.i386 fpcsrc = 2.0.1-050923 is needed by lazarus-0.9.10-0.i386 and of course it's correct (fpc version is 2.0.0. and I haven't found fpcsrc-2.0.0 ). So my questions are: 1. Where is fpctarget initialised ? (or how can nudge fpc to run at least helloworld) 2. Which lazarus version is available for version 2.0.0-x86_64 (or is there 2.0.1-050923-x86_64 version). 3. Why do I need fpcsrc (I assume it's the source of fpc) to use lazarus? (I didn't find it in wiki but maybe I didn't know where to look) I hope somebody can give me the answers to my questions.

[fpc-pascal] fp not available
Hi, I recently downloaded fpc including the manuals and Lazarus. (I'm a Pascal programmer going back to turbo-pascal on the Amstrad!). Lazarus is working as expected. However, when I want to start the IDE (and run some very old programs under Linux) fp is not found. I cannot find any program called fp on my disk. Also the example file hello isn't found although there is a file helloworld.pas in a directory helloworld My question: Is the IDE included in fpc (I obtained fpc-2.0.2-050923i386.rpm and fpcsrc-2.0.2-050923i386.rpm and installed both) and is there maybe another command to start the IDE? I have an AMD64 running the 64-bit version of Fedora4 and I haven't found a specific 64-bit version of fpc. I hope somebody can give me some clues.
