Error while linking
lazarus / 32-Linux

Hello all.

I am new to Lazarus, and installed 1.8.0 along with fp 3.0.4 from rpm
x86_64, both where installed by yum.

I tried a simple form with just a button and a textfield.

While compiling I get:
Compilar proyecto, Objetivo: project1: Código de salida 256, Errores:
1, Sugerencias: 1
unit1.pas(19,28) Hint: Parameter "Sender" not used
[3.207] Executing "/usr/bin/ld" with command line "-b elf64-x86-64 -m
elf_x86_64  --dynamic-linker=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2    -L. -o
project1 link.res"
project1.lpr(20,1) Error: Error while linking
project1.lpr(20,1) Verbose: There were 1 errors compiling module,
stopping

I searched and found similar problems but with older versions. Those
do not solve the problem

Thanks in advance.

can you type this in a terminal window:
ld --version

It should be 2.28 or higher:
Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i ~/fpc311 $
ld --versionGNU ld (GNU Binutils for Raspbian) 2.28

I tried both rpm install and tar.gz install.  Got the same error on
linking, I am on CentOS 7 full install.   I found all the dependencies
I could find and still couldn't get the small test program to run
without getting a linking error and exit code of 256.   I'd like
detailed instructions on how to install this beast of a program and
fpc because apparently the bits and pieces supplied online are not
doing it for me.

I learned Turbo Pascal on an Commodore 128 in the 80's and had no
problems installing the program back then as I recall.  So this is
just plain weird.  I've been doing linux since 1994, SCO Unix before
that!   So I am not new its just CentOS 7 that isn't cooperating I
guess.  LOL

Old hands is not an excuse. They (me included) are convinced they are
right. So I just tested a CentOs 7 VM and can't by the life of me not
reproduce your problem.....
