----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone. I'm trying to install bgracontrols but it is impossible.
It took me 3 days with no positive result.

I've installed bgrabitmap-master (latest version) with no problems,
but when I try to install bgracontrols, I get this result:

QuoteBUILD IDE: Exit code 512, Errors: 1
lazarus.pp (154,1) Error: Error while linking

I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit.

I've tried everything, well, not really everything 'cos I couldn't
make it installed, but almost everything.

Any help will be appreciated.



SOLVED:

For all who needs help with this, libxtst-dev libraries must be
installed.

That seems an error building Lazarus not just installing bgracontrols.

I have the same error.

Build IDE: Exit code 512, Errors: 1
lazarus.pp(154,1) Error: Error while linking


No other messages . So cant determine the cause.

And this only happens after i try to install bgra controlls ( I have
tried many repeated installs and lazarus reinstallations and it didnt
help)
On windows 7 64 bit however it compiles just fine

My OS is Linux mint mate 18.2 64 bit

and Lazarus 1.6.4

@Mladen
1. Open a terminal: sudo apt-get install libgl-dev
2. Rebuild lazarus again and you're good to go

I can understand why libxtst is needed, because I added some input
controls that depends on a third party package (that I included with
the download to be sure to use the patched version, that I don't
patched..).

But I can't understand why libgl-dev is needed, bgracontrols don't
have any opengl control.

Without libgl-dev I cannot install BGRAControls in my Kali Linux
machine. I don't know if this issue BGRAControls or Lazarus related,
but definitely BGRAControls triggers it(after I install BGRAControls
and I want to rebuild the IDE). Apparently I'm not the only one who
had this issue:  http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,3

Thanks for your input. I will check everything again, maybe there's a
hidden dependency to opengl somewhere, that I must remove.

Maybe its Custom Drawn Package or the MouseAndKeyInput package. Else I
don't get the OpenGL requeriment in the installation of BGRAControls.

Hello , thank you for the reply but i already had that package
installed
"Note, selecting 'libgl1-mesa-dev' instead of 'libgl-dev'
libgl1-mesa-dev is already the newest version
(17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.1)."

So it must be something else.
