SOLVED: Lazarus 1.2 IDE rebuilding error in Linux Mint 16
lazarus / 1-Linux

Hello there,

I'm trying to update my Lazarus 1.2RC1 installation on Linux Mint 16
to Lazarus 1.2

I've uninstalled the old 1.2RC2 (except for fpc 2.6.2 & sources) and I
installed 1.2 successfully. I can build test projects and so on.

I'm now trying to install components & after compilation, when I try
to rebuild the Lazarus IDE, I get the series of messages below and the
rebuilding aborts:

Code: [Select]/usr/bin/ld.bfd: warning:
/usr/share/lazarus/1.2.0/link.res contains output sections; did you
forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -lxml2
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -lgsf-1
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -lgdkglext-x11-1.0

Can anyone help me out with resolving this problem?

Thanks,

JD

I do not know for sure. But it looks that some dependent packages are
not installed.

Afaik (but I do not know where exactly) the wiki has some help on
this. Try the "lazarus website" (menu on left)  All on the bottom,
there is a sink for each OS

You're missing -dev packages.I've just installed Mint16 and -> goto
Synaptic package manager, search for libgtk2.0-dev mark it for
installation (it will add dependencies) and install it. After that
you'll have everything you need (don't tell me that it doesn't work,
since I've just rebuilded lazarus 1.2 w/o problems (debs downloaded
from sf page).

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I already have libgtk2.0-dev installed
as you can see from the attached screenshots. I tried reinstalling it
& it still didn't work. Any ideas why it doesn't work. It worked very
well for Lazarus 1.2RC1.

Then find and install dev packages from ld error:
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -lxml2 (probably libxml2-dev)
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -lgsf-1 (probably libgsf-1-dev)
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -lgdkglext-x11-1.0 (probably
libgdkglext-x11-1.0-dev)

Works fine now thanks.
