Lazarus won't build projects anymore (Solved)

foggybrain · 2008-12-26 20:21:40

Over the last few days I have upgraded a package or packages that have stopped lazarus building projects, I just get this error on build.

project1.lpr(8,7) Fatal: Can't find unit Interfaces used by project1

My projects all built fine a few days ago, and I have changed no settings in lazarus (I have also reinstalled the lazarus package).

Pacman tells me that lazarus depends on: fpc, fpc-src, gdk-pixbuf, but It also must use interface libraries such as gtk and qt ??

I don't know enough about Lazarus and my system to fix this new error, and I can't pin point a cure in the lazarus forums for Arch linux.

Is any body else experiencing the same or have any idear which recent Arch package updates could be effecting lazarus ?

Many thanks

Tim

EDIT

Just built the lazarus-svn package from the aur and lazarus now builds my programs again without errors, only problem is the beta-svn is very buggy.

Same here

I just got some contract for Lazarus code, this could not happen in the worst time. Can't install svn because of stability reasons.

Can somebody look into this, I would but don't know how. Please?

I performed some quick testing, and it appears that a simple rebuild will do the trick. Please refer to the following wiki pages for instructions:

makepkg
ABS

(The package you need to rebuild is located in /var/abs/community/devel/lazarus)

Thanks, time to dive into package documentation I guess

OK, here is really simple solution that works and does not require any abs and package handling:

1. Start lazarus with 'sudo lazarus'
2. Go to Tools -> Build Lazarus
3. Everything works again

Yes !! thank-you dusanx

started lazarus as root and done, tools > build lazarus

Works great
