How do I create executable program under Linux?
lazarus / 1-Linux

I just created a minimal GUI program using lazarus, but when I try to
run the program:

./test

I get an error cannot find libgnomexxx.so...

With a more complex program, I get the error:

"libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory" when running it directly.

Under Kylix, I had to create a shell script that included export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  I assume I must do something similar for Lazarus but
cannot find it in the documentation.  Can you point me in the right
direction?  I would be VERY grateful!

Is this on the same machine as the Lazarus-IDE is running?
Which Widgetset are you compiling against? GTK, GKT2... ?
Operating System?

This is the Borland Qt Interface Library for CLX. It has nothing to do
with Lazarus.
Or are you trying to build the CLX with FPC?

Thanks for the quick reply.  The larger program was originally
developed under Delphi and ported to Kylix - there must be a vestigial
reference which pulls in the QT library.  I will search for that.

If I understand your reply correctly, there should be no additional
libraries or paths required for a Lazarus program.

By the way, I really appreciated your patches to allow Kylix to run
under Suse.  It allowed me to move from Delphi/Windows to Linux
originally.  Unfortunately, I still encountered enough (long term)
issues with the Borland abandonment of Kylix that I decided to migrate
to Lazarus.  Have you completely moved to Lazarus as well?

Sure!

It turned out to be something pretty stupid on my part, not a problem
with Lazarus.

I really like the new version of Lazarus (9.26) and am planning to try
out 9.27 once I get my software completely converted.
