Hi,
I just updated my linux pc with the 1.2.4 debs and now when I compile
my apps I get odd linking errors:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you
forget -T?
/usr/share/lazarus/1.2.4/components/lazutils/lib/x86_64-
linux/laz2_xmlread.o: file not recognized: Input/output error
sftadmin.lpr(59,1) Error: Error while linking
sftadmin.lpr(59,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module,
stopping

Anyone else see this?

Did you check your paths?  I updated two machines. On one of them the
compiler ended up pointed at the 2.2 folder instead of the 2.4. On the
other, the FPC source folder was wrong.

Note: I corrected the paths before I tried to compile anything, so I
really don't know exactly what error messages I would have received.

Been a while since I was on Linux, but last time I had this error it
turned out there was a symlink somewhere (ppc something?  bad memory
:-(  ) pointing to the wrong location.  Did a complete uninstall of
every bit of FPC I could find - checked everywhere was clean, and re-
installed just the FPC I wanted...

And this will help give you a clue if you've got bits of an old FPC
install floating around somewhere...

Got it to work, was just a permission issue.

Good to hear :-)

When I put this post together with your other post (win32 cross
compiler still reporting 1.2.2) I thought this confirmed you still had
old stuff floating around...  Not the case apparently, which means
I've no idea on that other issue at all...

ya, it was still using 2.6.2 so I removed it and now I can't cross
compile at all.
