Hello,

Apparently, my app doesn't compile on Debian due to a linking problem.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1026718

Does anyone have an idea why this would happen?

Do you have gtk2 development packages installed ?

@circular
See point 3:
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/BGRA_Installation_on_Linux ,
install every package, except subversion, zip and rar, you probably
don't need those.

Hello @marcov and @GetMem

Thanks for the feedback.

I am not installing it myself, it is built on a Debian system.
Probably using an automated tool which installs all necessary
packages, but to be sure I asked on the bug thread (see link below).

Due to the compilation problem, the package is marked for removal on
the Debian distribution:

Quotelazpaint 7.2.2-1 is marked for autoremoval from testing on
2023-01-18

It is affected by these RC bugs:
1026718: lazpaint: FTBFS: /usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find
-lpangocairo-1.0: No such file or directory
 https://bugs.debian.org/1026718

It (build-)depends on packages with these RC bugs:
1026719: lazarus: vmg: FTBFS: /usr/bin/ld.bfd: cannot find -latk-1.0:
No such file or directory
 https://bugs.debian.org/1026719

Apparently, the problem is related to gtk2 dependency:
Quote from: Paul Gevers <elbrus@debian.org>After this discussion
(thanks for having it), I think it's best to
reopen bug 967348, have fp-units-gtk2-x.y.z depend on libgtk2.0-dev
again and *stop shipping* fp-units-gtk2-x.y.z once libgtk2.0-dev needs
to be removed.

I'm running Debian Bookworm/Sid on x86_64. What version of Lazarus and
FPC do you have?

MarkMLl

It was using the current version on sid of fpc.

The problem has been reassigned to fpc and it seems it has been fixed.

So a Debian packaging problem.

It's important to distinguish this from other potential linking
problems: Bookworm/Sid requires FPC 3.2.2.

Upfront apologies as I've read this without using context.

Do you mean the official FPC distro package, the combination with
Lazarus or should I take that as a challenge to get a FPC < 3.2.2
working on bookworm ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thaddy · 2023-01-21 08:20

If it is fixed it  may be in backports, so add that. Btw I have 3.2.2
and 3.2.0 running on Debian x86_64-linux, but I installed from source.

That one. I'll try to fill in a bit more detail later, but from memory
it's a problem that won't raise its head unless importing C libraries
(i.e. cthreads etc.) and is something to do with a symbol which should
be marked optional.

Also you won't be able to progress from 3.0.4 on x86_64 "Bookworm" to
3.2.2.

Usual developer response: "we only support the current version".

Slightly later: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,6
1001.msg457935.html#msg457935

Also looking at a moderately-large app which I was hoping to continue
to be able to build using a slightly-older version of Lazarus (because
of stuff on the console window screen which was subsequently
disabled):

That was FPC 3.0.4 with Lazarus 2.0.6, multithreaded app but apart
from that nothing particularly fancy.

Thank you for the additional information MarkMLI.

I'll have a look at it but unfortunately a bit later as currently the
ftp mirrors of FPC are down for me (this let my current build-script
fail as it is not suited for SF).

PS: should we transfer the conversation over to the link you posted or
open up another thread in order not to pollute this one ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
MarkMLl · 2023-01-21 09:04

New thread I'd suggest. However my suspicion is that the C library
issue is fixed in the development version- albeit with no plans to
backport to 3.2- and the other one is a "won't fix".
