I'm trying to compile Lazarus an Linux.
During compilation I obtain this error:
Code: [Select]debianArm01:~/lazarus# make all clean
...
Assembling fpdoceditwindow
Compiling gotofrm.pas
Assembling gotofrm
Assembling sourceeditor
sourceeditor.pp(7071) Error: Can't call the assembler, error -1
switching to external assembling
sourceeditor.pp(7071) Fatal: There were 2 errors compiling module,
stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: *** [lazarus] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/lazarus/ide'
make[1]: *** [ide] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/lazarus/ide'
make: *** [ide] Error 2
debianArm01:~/lazarus#
The compilation fails at sourceeditor.pp
How can I do to resolve this problem?

try to compile with -va to see what the compiler is looking for.

Code: [Select]debianArm01:~/lazarus# make all OPT=-va
PS. I would swap the clean and all, otherwise you will build first and
right after that all is removed.

Maybe the detailed instructions given by TheBlackSheep (Chris) in this
thread:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,6016.msg31393/topi
cseen.html#new

can help you. Lazarus 0.9.28.2 now uses gtk2, an no need gtk1.2 files.

Other possible solution: download my Puppy with Lazarus .iso file,
burn a CD, reboot with it and copy the directory /lazarus to your
Linux root directory. If you have a free pascal compiler working, this
must to be work.
Then, set the Debugger directory to "GNU debugger".
The iso is in:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=10836C0B
Size: 330MB, MD5: fa94102ecf1bf5c29f629148667399fc

Cheers! :-)

Sorry, what is Amr? My language is Spanish and I do not understand
certain English words.

As I see of his console text:

Code: [Select]debianArm01:~/lazarus#
it probably means ARM processor.

I don't know if puppy linux support ARM.
