[Solved] Build of IDE from IDE seems to work but no lazarus.exe is
produced.
lazarus / 62-General

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

I am fighting another issue that I cannot figure out.  I am working
with an IDE instance (FPC trunk and Lazarus trunk) that is loaded
using a custom config directory.  I am using some batch files I rolled
by hand.  I have attached them.  I pass in parameters from shortcuts
so that I can work with multiple source bases of both FPC and
Lazarus.  Maybe there is something I am doing that louses things up.

Anyway, I would think if the rebuild of lazarus.exe was not successful
that I would get an error code and Lazarus wouldn't terminate. 
However, it does terminate with no apparent failure to compile or link
the new EXE, but no EXE is produced that I can find.

Is it possible to avoid using the IDE and just do a rebuild of it
purely from the command-line?  I would like this to include all of the
packages that are to be loaded into the IDE as well as to be able to
build the IDE in debug mode so that I can trace into the Lazarus and
FPC sources.

I've spend hours searching for helpful articles on this but I'm at a
wall I could use some help getting over.

Here is the batch file MakeFPC.bat:

@echo off

set fpc_version=%~1
Echo Running build script for Free Pascal Compiler: %fpc_version%

set myroot=%~dp0
Echo   Root: %myroot%

set myFPC=%myroot%fpc\%fpc_version%
Echo   FPC Root: %myFPC%

set mybinutils=%myroot%binutils
Echo   BinUtils: %mybinutils%

set PATH=%mybinutils%\i386-win32_%fpc_version%;%myFPC%\bin\i386-
win32_%fpc_version%;%PATH%
cd %myFPC%

#Pause

rd /s /q  %myfpc%\examples
svn cleanup . --remove-unversioned  --remove-ignored
make distclean all install INSTALL_PREFIX=%myFPC%
PP=%mybinutils%\ppc386.exe DATA2INC=%myFPC%\utils\data2inc.exe
make all OS_TARGET=win64 CPU_TARGET=x86_64 INSTALL_PREFIX=%myFPC%
PP=%mybinutils%\ppc386.exe DATA2INC=%myFPC%\utils\data2inc.exe
make crossinstall OS_TARGET=win64 CPU_TARGET=x86_64
INSTALL_PREFIX=%myFPC% PP=%mybinutils%\ppc386.exe
DATA2INC=%myFPC%\utils\data2inc.exe
cd /d %myFPC%\bin\i386-win32
del fpc.cfg
fpcmkcfg -d basepath=%myFPC% -o .\fpc.cfg
copy fpc.exe %mybinutils%\i386-win32


Here is batch file MakeLaz.bat:

@echo off

set laz_version=%~1
Echo Running build script for Lazarus: %laz_version%

set target_platform=i386-win32
Echo   Target Platform: %target_platform%

set myroot=%~dp0
Echo   Root: %myroot%

set fpc_version=3.0.4
if "%laz_version%"=="trunk" set fpc_version=trunk
Echo   FPC Version: %fpc_version%

set myFPC=%myroot%fpc\%fpc_version%
Echo   FPC Root: %myFPC%

set mybinutils=%myroot%binutils
Echo   BinUtils: %mybinutils%

set PathPrefix=%mybinutils%\%target_platform%_%fpc_version%;%myFPC%\bi
n\%target_platform%;%myroot%binutils\%target_platform%_%fpc_version%
set PATH=%PathPrefix%;%PATH%
Echo   PathPrefix: %PathPrefix%

cd %myroot%lazarus\%laz_version%
echo --------------------------------------------
echo Path=%PATH%
echo --------------------------------------------
make clean all OPT="-glw2 -Xg"

Here is the batch file StartLaz.bat:

@echo off

set laz_version=%~1
set laz_config=%~2
set myroot=%~dp0

Echo Starting Lazarus: %laz_version%
Echo   Config: %laz_config%
Echo   RootDir: %myroot%

cd %myroot%

lazarus\%laz_version%\startlazarus --pcp=laz_config\%laz_config%

I figured this problem out.

I have other programming environments installed on my machine.

I had a bad PATH and my location of MAKE.EXE was incorrect.

Once I fixed these aspects I got the desired behavior!

Sorry to have troubled y'all.
