GLScene: "incompatbile ppu" when compiling package
lazarus / 1-Linux

Hi again,

I'm trying to install GLScene. GLSceneLCL_RunTime compiling works but
others stop with the following error message:
QuoteGLSceneRegisterLCL.pas(107,26) Fatal: Kann GlFileX nicht finden
verwendet von GLSceneRegisterLCL, incompatible
ppu=/home/styxxx/Programmierung/lazarus/Packages/GLSceneLCL
1.4/Packages/lib/x86_64-linux/GLFileX.ppu, multiple packages:
GLSceneLCL_RunTime, GLSceneLCL_DesignTimeWhich translates as "Cannot
find GLFileX used by GLSceneRegisterCLC, incompatible ppu=/home/..."

I already deleted the whole folder and tried again. But it always says
the ppu was incompatible although it was just compiled (and does exit
of course). How can I solve this?

I'm using version 1.4 of GLScene (https://sourceforge.net/projects/gls
cene/files/GLScene/GLScene%20v1.4/). 1.3 too fails because of an error
within the code.

I wouldn't bother with the Sourceforge files when it comes to the LCL
version of GLScene, especially since you're on Linux...the package
structures are a mess of circular dependencies, and the
GLVectorGeometry unit is full of 32-bit ASM that won't work properly
if you're on a 64-bit system. The version bundled with CodeTyphon
works quite well though, and has a bunch of additional IFDEFS and
alternate implementations of various functions and procedures that
properly account for both 32/64 bit systems. I imagine it would be
quite easy to adapt it back into Lazarus.
