lazarus won't start
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple · 2009-02-04 10:36

I have tried to install lazarus on my macminic powerpc. I tried it
with installing with synaptics and also building the app with the
sources but it alway stuck while starting.

I tried it with debian linux 4.0r6 etch and also with debian lenny rc2

This is the error what I got starting lazarus in the konsole

I have looked throug google but I could not find anny solution on it
maybe it has to to a little bit because I don't now really whats going
wrong

I tought maybe the dependencies from the libs where wrong and so I
tried to build it by my own inside the working envirement but this
fails also , but the building process looks like okay .

This is the log while starting lazarus from own build

Here is some output from gdb hopefully it helps to find the bug.

It looks like that lazarus could't be compiled okay on PowerPC
platform

is this on the macmini ?
You're using the gtk widgetset (and X). It is less tested nowadays
since there is a native carbon interface for mac.
Or in case you are displaying using remote X, there are some troubles
with (i guess) endianess when using remote

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple · 2009-02-06 11:02

Sorry but I am not to familiar with the hole stuff.

I tried out different way's to install Lazarus.

with rpm packages with dpkg . I build Lazarus from source . Tried
source from svn or also the downloaded tar stuff . With the fixes
included and not . On Debian 4 RC6 stable and Lenny

and alway the same Problem.

This problem looks like to fix it , is more proffesional knowlage
essential needed then I realy have.

Three year's ago I also build the old lazarus version from source and
with less knowlage I had those day's it was really easy to go and
working .

But now I don't know what I can do anymore.


I don't use remote and with the gtk widgetset and X I don't really
understand what it could have to be or making problems. I just do
everything like it is described installing the stuff from wiki.


Martin

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple · 2009-02-12 09:34

I do not see exactly if the following case is based on the same
Problem, but maybe it shows a little bit where the problem have to be
looked for.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511505


Does anybody understand more or see a connection beetween these two
problems ?


Martin

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2009-02-12 12:38

Both Lazarus and WinFF use the LCL.

To me it is clear that there is a bug in the LCL for powerpc-linux-
gtk.

If you do make in the examples dir, do any of the examples run?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple · 2009-02-12 19:00

So if there is a bug in the LCL normally every application which uses
the LCL  by crosscompiling from x86 to PowerPC should also fail .

Is that right ?

If not I was thinking about making the same binary with the fpc from
x86 cross and powerpc nativ should have the same output.

If not so would make things more clear where the bug hide itself.

Very intresting bug, but a little overloaded for me.

Martin

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Marc · 2009-02-15 16:05

I don't think this will help. It is probably not the code generation,
but a lcl-gtk-widgetset issue for big endian linux. This is a bit hard
to test, so probably not yet detected.
From your callstack it looks like
#4  0x1029f3a4 in TGTKWIDGETSET__RAWIMAGE_CREATEBITMAPS fails and then
the cleanup in #3 causes the crash.

Can you put this in a bugreport ?
whoops, already reported: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13123

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple · 2009-02-16 08:39

So because I build lazarus without debugsymbols I alreadybuild it
again the same way on x86 and on powerpc . Both with the same binary
version of the fpc and both the same version from the svn. As
everybody know the x86 version works and the powerpc version crash.
This time I build lazarus with "make OPT=DDebug" as writen inside the
wiki to include the debugsymbols.
So learing by doing it looks for me that the crash comes up while
calling a lib but I don't understand how to find out which lib exacly
is the problem and also what the problem is being couse by. What I
want to say is Is the problem coused by calling the lib with wrong
data or gives the lib something wrong back.

So a made a second debug message with gdb

We found the solution: use fpc 2.3.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Marc · 2009-02-28 13:39

there was a problem with code generation on powerpc-linux for
procedures with "a lot" of agruments, therefore a call to
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data() returned rubbish and when freeing it,
gdk_pixbuf_unref() crashed on it.

edit:typo arm -> powerpc

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2009-02-28 14:32

arm-linux must be powerpc-linux?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks very much 

Great

It works.

I will make a howto with a little script.

Compiling Lazarus für PowerPC Architekture works good.

So now I have made a little script for checkout and buildung fpc on
fresh new machine without having a running fpc at startup.

I think the script could also expanded to other platform.

I try to make also a little description about it.

Hope this will help somebody and make things more clear.

Martin

Code: [Select]#! /bin/bash
#name this file e.g get_fpc.sh and save it in your homeDIR
#don't forget to make it executable
#
#set -x
#
#Thanks to Tuxbox
#Parts from this script are borrowed from TUXBOX
#So feel free to optimize it but don't forget to give the "good"

Vincent Snijders · 2009-03-03 09:51

Nice that you got things working.

I thought that $HOME/fpc.cfg had to be moved to $HOME/.fpc.cfg to let
the compiler find it, but maybe I am wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple · 2009-03-03 10:03

Hi,

after downloading the binary package the script install a fpc.cfg
inside the $HOME only for the temp use of the fpc inside $HOME/fpc/bin
.

But this configuration file could make problems after installing the
new fpc .

Maybe problems, becouse of old path things and so on. So therefore a
new fpc.cfg will be generated from the new fpc build

I used the $HOME for the first cfg because of the write permissons 
but after installing the builded fpc its good to store the cfg inside
/etc so every user have acess to

These packages  looks like that they are needed from the build
process. If you find out some were to much so please tell it here so
we can update the list for wiki.

To make it easy as much as possible you can safe this into a file name
it install_all.txt open synaptics . There you can import the file.

After this  you can start the following script

Code: [Select]#! /bin/bash
#save this file as get_lazarus_svn.sh & store it @$HOME
#set -x
#
svn checkout http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/
$HOME/lazarus/svn
cd $HOME/lazarus/svn
make
#
# http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus/de
#
echo "use <svn update lazarus> inside $HOME/lazarus/svn 4 update
Lazarus svn"
exit -a


Now the build process should run through


This was now done by me on a new fresh debian5 system with Powerpc
architekture. Maybe some packages where to much but this list was
created by try and error to get the build process run through.

Hope this will help some people to climb over the first hill building
Lazarus and get it working.

So have fun

I tried this out . Yet you got Revision 18887. But building an error
occur

Compiling allsyneditunits.pp
Compiling synpropertyeditobjectlist.pas
Fatal: Can't find unit PropEdits used by SynPropertyEditObjectList
Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: *** [allsyneditunits.ppu] Fehler 1

make[1]: *** [synedit_all] Fehler 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/martin/lazarus/svn/components'

This looks like a problem from the source today.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leledumbo · 2009-03-04 04:37

I just got the same error with the latest daily snapshot. The build
order seems wrong because SynEdit gets built before IDEIntf does. I
solve this problem by doing 'make all' in ideintf folder first, then
continue the broken 'make all' from the top directory. No bug report
about this yet AFAIK, so please make it (I'm too lazy to do it ). Note
that this bug doesn't occur if you build lazarus from the IDE (don't
know why).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2009-03-04 07:22

This error is suposedly fixed in r18888:
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-
bin/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&root=lazarus&revision=18888

Instead of make (or make all), I would advice make bigide, which adds
some more components to the component palette. This make target is
used in releases and snapshots too.

I use make all for normal development of lazarus itself, it is faster
and the binary is smaller.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple · 2009-03-04 08:35

Yes now this bug is fixed and it compiles Lazarus completely.

@Leledumbo   No Bug report is neeeded I am also partly lazy 

@Vincent  So the things I have done (scripts) hopefully helps the
beginners to startup the wole stuff. Do you think I should write a
litte explanation file for it about whats going on ? So this could
help a lot to understand whats going on.
We could also modify the script about what's to checkout e.g brunch or
trunk or last stable release or something like "get_lazarus stable" or
so.


Martin

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent Snijders · 2009-03-04 09:09

Martin, I have no opinion about that, but more documentation never
hurts, I guess.

That being said, your scripts already have some documentation.
