I installed the daily build and sadly found that it was not able to
compile the default project.

the console error message is:

Code: [Select]Compiling /tmp/project1.lpr
Compiling unit1.pas
Compiling resource lib/x86_64-linux/project1.or
project1.lpr(19,1) Error: Error while compiling resources
project1.lpr(19,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module,
stopping
note that the resource file name is strangely becoming project1.or

I found a similar bug filed last year, but it was now closed:

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15613

anyone know what is happening?

Make sure in the .lpr you do't have both the .rc and the .res lines.

no, it doesn't. the file list is
Code: [Select]link.res
backup
lib
project1.ico
project1.lpr
project1.res
unit1.lfm
unit1.pas
under the /tmp directory, and the lpr file reads
Code: [Select]program Project1;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
  {$IFDEF UNIX}{$IFDEF UseCThreads}
  cthreads,
  {$ENDIF}{$ENDIF}
  Interfaces, // this includes the LCL widgetset
  Forms, Unit1
  { you can add units after this };

{$R *.res}

begin
  Application.Initialize;
  Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
  Application.Run;
end.

Spaces in the project path name?
You could also check the Project Options -> Miscellaneous -> Resource
type.
Is it ".lrs include files" or "FPC resources"?

hi Juha

there is no space in the file name, the full path is /tmp/project1.lpr

the resource type was "FPC resources", but if I choose "lrs include
files", I got the same error.

I am so surprised that other people do not have this issue. Maybe I am
the only one using the daily build? (I did try 0.9.28-2, it failed to
compile glscene for some reasons)

Bug reports mentioned a bug in FPC related to spaces and other special
chars in path. It is fixed in trunk some time ago. You don't have
spaces so it should not affect.
I don't have other ideas so you could try the latest FPC SVN version,
too.

I finally gave up using the daily build of lazarus, and went back to
0.9.28.2, it does not have this issue (well, then I have to fix the
glScene issue  )

Did you also try with latest FPC version from SVN server?
The problem is likely in FPC, not in Lazarus.

I also got this message in my project, but I was able to fix it by
commenting out the following line in my lpr file:

Code: [Select]{$IFDEF WINDOWS}{$R cajasuc3.rc}{$ENDIF}
This just happened with the latest daily Lazarus snapshot.

It would be good if the message was a bit more informative. Should it
be reported in the bug tracker? If so which one, the Lazarus or FPC?
