In addition to what Michael said, you can also run `ldd /path/and/program` and Linux will tell you your executable is dependent on X11 libraries.

[Lazarus] Lazarus program runs fine in a Terminal but not in a PuTTY session, why?
I am working on a program intended to be run by cron in unattended
mode on a Raspberry Pi without GUI installed.
I started it in Windows but have now moved the sources over to
Raspbian for building on that platform and it does not work as
expected...
If I open a terminal window inside the Raspbian GUI (I am using VNC to
work in the GUI) then the test run works as expected.
Right now it is just displaying the content of the directory where the
data will be located using this code as a test:
function TaskReadyToRun(var ID: string): boolean;
var
FileList: TStringList;
TaskDir: string;
i: integer;
begin
FileList := TStringList.Create;
try
TaskDir := DATABASEDIR + '/tasks';
FindAllFiles(FileList, TaskDir, '*.conf', false);
if FileList.Count > 0 then
begin
for i := 0 to FileList.Count -1 do
Writeln(FileList[i]);
end
else
Writeln('No files found');
Result := (FileList.Count > 0);
finally
FileList.Free;
end;
end;
In a termional window on Raspbian I get the expected output.
But when I run the same in a terminal created by PuTTY on my Windows
laptop this is what I see:
pi@rpi4-gui:~/projects/MonitorServer $ ./ssmonitorctrl
(ssmonitorctrl:5436): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:43:42.775: cannot open
display:
Even if I run the program and redirect output to a file I get the same
error message and the listfiles.txt file is empty:
pi@rpi4-gui:~/projects/MonitorServer $ ./ssmonitorctrl > listfiles.txt
What is causing this strange problem?
I thought that Writeln() is the way to send output to stdout, but
maybe not

Re: [Lazarus] Problem installing package from OLPM on Raspbian

So this is what I did to get the system running: - killed lazarus so it was not running in hanged state - In a terminal I did: pi@rpi4-gui:~/dev/lazarus/2.0.4 $ time make bigide OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF FPC=/home/pi/bin/ppcarm After 6 minutes it was done and then I opened Lazarus and used OLPM to install the uniqueinstance package. This time the rebuild of the Lazarus IDE succeeded and the package icon was installed into the System tab. It seems like lazarus is now ready to be used. So I opened the project I migrated from svn and tried to build it. Now I got this message: Compile Project, Target: ssmonitorctrl: Success, Warnings: 12, Hints: 45 .. ssmonitorctrl.lpr(73,28) Warning: "crtbegin.o" not found, this will probably cause a linking failure ssmonitorctrl.lpr(73,28) Warning: "crtend.o" not found, this will probably cause a linking failure It seems like something needs to be done "somewhere" in order to fix this warning (I have not seen it in a long time), but where? I don't really know why this all happened, but it might have something to do with me moving the complete fpc/lazarus installation from one SDcard to another with a fresh operating system installed. I have installed FPC and Lazarus from sources downloaded via subversion and done this entirely in the user pi home directory. I spent some time on figuring out how to confine these tools entirely into the home dir so as not to depend on any stuff outside home except for the dependencies installed by apt. All of the dependencies I know of were installed into the new operating system before I copied over the home dirs. And it seemed to work just fine until tye IDE rebuild. Now I wonder if the lazarus "make bigide" puts or modifies stuff outside of the home dir, which I then have failed to copy in from the old installation? The make seems to have corrected whatever problöem was causing the crash... And is there really something outside of home that fpc or lazarus depends on and is not part of the operating system??? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
