hi All,
i am having an error while linking on Linux Mint 18.2 64b (on Proxmox) as per below flow:

1. sudo aptitude install make binutils build-essential gdb subversion zip unzip libx11-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev
2. run fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-linux
3. select FPC version 3.0.4 and Lazarus 1.8 fixes
4. fpcupdeluxe finishes with no issues
5. i install fat synapse - rebuild of Lazarus 1.8 RC5 works
6. from online package manager i select BGRABitmap and Controls
7. it compiles but i have error: lazarus.pp(161,1) Error: Error while linking.

please advise.
thank you

looks like i was missing the below:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

after the below the linking error does not appear.

@tudi_x
You got a big like from me! I rarely use linux, but this particular issue has come up too many times before, without actually someone give a real solution. It was known that BGRAControls trigger the linking issue, but the solution eluded many Lazarus user. Please make a wiki entry(this is a must), otherwise we risk to make the same mistake again.
