Unable to link Lazarus project under Debian 12 (32-bit)
lazarus / 32-Linux

I am in the latest 32-bit version of Debian with a freshly installed
latest FPC (3.2.2) and Lazarus (2.2.6).

I am getting the following errors during linking:

Warning: linker: /usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/fpc/3.2.2/units/i386-linux/rtl/si_c21.o: in function
`SI_C21_$$__FPC_LIBC21_START':
Error: si_c21.pp:(.text.n_si_c21_$$__fpc_libc21_start+0x27): undefined
reference to `__libc_csu_fini'
Warning: linker: /usr/bin/ld:
si_c21.pp:(.text.n_si_c21_$$__fpc_libc21_start+0x2c): undefined
reference to `__libc_csu_init'

I think there is a version problem with the library. The currently
installed gcc --version is gcc (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0  and libc-
bin/stable,now 2.36-9+deb12u1 i386.

What if the si_c21.so file is missing from a directory like
LazarusFPC\cross\lib\x86_64-linux

This is a test VirtualBox system created specifically for compiling
32-bit Linux projects. So, I am not cross-compiling. I am just trying
to create a native 32-bit (i386) executable.

You should try with fpc fixes_3_0 (if possible), there are some
related changes.

I gave up and installed fpc and lazarus from debian's repository,
instead of downloading and installing manually from Lazarus' web site.
The problem seems to be fixed.

But how did you do it because I have the same problem and when I
install the fpc from the repository it uninstalls lazarus and in the
repository I do not have version 3 of lazarus which is the one I want
to install

Just use FPC from the repository and build/install Lazarus manually.
Though you might need to manually select the necessary subpackages of
FPC from the package manager.

As far as I remember (not 100% sure):
First, I removed fpc and Lazarus from the system.Then, installed fpc
from standard Debian repository.Then, installed the downloaded package
of Lazarus manually using: sudo dpkg -i --force-all
~/Downloads/lazarus-project_3.0.0-0_i386.debCan you try and post about
your experience?

I used your suggestion, but it left my references broken, so I had to
edit the .deb package. I consider this aspect to be a botch job, so I
am going to leave the study of the fpc problem pending for another
day.
