Hi

I'm trying to compile the source version of Lazarus on a fedora 9
installation.

FPC compiles ok .. you have to get the binary initially to bootstrap
compile the source distro of the fpc compiler) ... lazarus compiles ok
but aborts on linking with a message saying it cannot link to -lglib.

I got the source for glib and compiled and installed this .. but
lazarus gave  the same error.

I was originally running the amd 64 bit version of fedora .. x86-64 ..
but reinstalled the i386 version .. with no change (rather frustrated
by now) ...I then tried seaching the
makefiles and other installation stuff looking for libglib references
.. without any luck to date ... though libglib v 2 is in /usr/lib

I am vaguely aware that the fedora library comformation is a bit
differenct to debian but don't know the details nor of a simple way to
spoff software looking in the debian places to cope with the fedora
conformation .. has anyone any experience along these lines or other
thoughts on this

Thanks

You need to install the adequate gtk1 development packages from your
distribution. See the FAQ:

Take a look at the FAQ:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Faq#I_receive_an_error_duri
ng_the_linking_that_states_.2Fusr.2Fbin.2Fld_can.27t_find_-
l.3Csome_lib.3E

you can also try to build it for gtk2 by specifying LCL_PLATFORM=gtk2
in the make command line. But then you need to install the gtk2
development packages.
