Something seems to go wrong with the intialization of a unit.

Because the fpc units are compiled without debug info, it is
impossible to see which unit fails.

Can you recompile the fpc units with debug info?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RNZ · 2006-11-29 08:35

how can i'm recompile the fpc units with debug info?
in gentoo?

fpc_initializeunits..
what to do next?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2006-11-30 13:50

You just rebuild the Lazarus sources. You first need to rebuild the
FPC sources to get more debug info.

This is useful information. It seems to allocate a negative number of
bytes in READTIMEZONEFILE.

Can you try to compile and run the following program?
Code: [Select]
program test;

uses unix;

begin
  writeln('Test');
end.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RNZ · 2006-12-20 23:51

Test program - compiled and worked ok:
Code: [Select]rnz@rnzws ~/fpc-test $ cat test.pp
program test;

uses unix;

begin
  writeln('Test');
end.

Vincent, what do next?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2006-12-21 08:13

It is a pity that the test program works.

I have no knowlegde about the timezone initialization on freebsd, so I
cannot see where the bug is.

Because the test program worked and Lazarus didn't, maybe there is
some memory corruption going on. Can you try compiling lazarus with
OPT='-ghl'?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RNZ · 2006-12-21 10:17

I'm update to gentoo-kernel-2.6.18-r4
and now runtime error - no.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2006-12-21 10:44

So, the update of gentoo fixed your crash?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
RNZ · 2006-12-21 11:02

I think update kernel or glib (to 2.12.5) - solve problem

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2006-12-21 12:10

Good :-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
sembei · 2006-12-25 23:38

I had the same problem.  The solution was to create the files
/etc/timezone and /etc/zoneinfo, that were missing in my system for
unknown reason.

Previous versions of lazarus where working ok in the same system.

I think that lazarus/fpc should throw a more detailed error message
when in this situation.
