Compiling Lazarus BigIDE on Chakra Linux
lazarus / 1-Linux

Hello,

I am trying to install build Lazarus BigIDE on Chakra Linux. Since
this distribution has no GTK2 libraries, Qt4 (Qt 4.8.0) is used.

After reading the wiki, I have successfully managed to compile FPC
v2.7.1 and Lazarus SmallIDE 0.9.31 (SVN 35557).
The IDE works fine using Qt4 (all bindings installed) and I've
compiled some simple Lazarus Qt4 projects successfully.

I understand that Qt4 does not support fpc OpenGL units, so the idea
is to exclude the OpenGL support in BigIDE.

When I try to build the BigIDE using the following command
Code: [Select]make bigide LCL_PLATFORM=qt OPT="-gl"
I get the following error
Code: [Select]...
Compiling lazopenglcontext.pas
Compiling openglcontext.pas
Compiling glgtkglxcontext.pas
Fatal: Can't find unit Gtk2Def used by GLGtkGlxContext
Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: *** [lazopenglcontext.ppu] Error 1
...

The error suggests that somehow there are GTK2 dependencies while
building components, despite specifying LCL_PLATFORM=qt.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

1. I'm building trunk lazarus for qt minimum 5 times a day and never
had such problem,
so first try: make bigideclean  && make bigide LCL_PLATFORM=qt
2. -gl have nothing with opengl.
