New fpc version fails to build on Raspberry Pi
« on: December 23, 2017, 11:41:59 pm »
Hello,

Normally I am using minimal compilers from https://www.getlazarus.org/setup/minimal/ This link has fpc version 3.0.0 minimal compiler sets for various platforms including Raspberry Pi.

When I try to build 3.0.4 fixes branch (svn 37788), I got following error:
Makefile:2918: *** The only supported starting compiler version is 3.0.4. You are trying to build with 3.0.0..  Stop.

Question is, is there any 3.0.4 version fpc minimal compiler available for Raspberry Pi platform?

Thanks & regards,
Ertan

No, there is not. (at least not officially)
There is also no bootstrap fpc version 3.0.4. For some reason they refused to make one. (not sure of what the exact reason is again)

You can "just" download FPC 3.0.4 and use ppcarm from it. (It's a 52MB download just to use ppcarm :( )
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/3.0.4/arm-linux/fpc-3.0.4.arm-linux-eabihf-raspberry.tar
You don't need to install this version. Just extract it all and use it with the PP option:

make all install OPT=$OPTIONS PREFIX=$BASE/fpc PP=$BASE/compiler3/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcarm
(where $BASE/compiler3 is where I unpacked the tar and $BASE is where I want the installation of fpc and Lazarus)

I use this successfully in my scripts.

I got compatible ppcarm and started my compile using following command
Code: [Select]
make all OPT=-dFPC_ARMHF PP=/home/pi/fpc-3.1/bin/ppcarm

In the middle of compilation I got below error:
Code: [Select]
[ 50%] Compiled package utils-fprcp
Start compiling package utils-h2pas for target arm-linux.
Executing command "/home/pi/fpc-3.1/bin/pyacc h2pas/h2pas.y h2pas/h2pas.pas"
The installer encountered the following error:
External command "/home/pi/fpc-3.1/bin/pyacc h2pas/h2pas.y h2pas/h2pas.pas" failed with exit code 256. Console output:

There is no directory /usr/lib/fpc in my system. But I do have /home/pi/fpc-3.1/lib/fpc/lexyacc/yyparse.cod

Eh, what ?

What are you trying to compile using 3.1 as starting compiler ?

Do not be mistaken by the directory name. It is not a 3.1 compiler but 3.0.4rc1

Ah, ok ertank. That indeed works confusing.

You require the latest release version. Not release candidate.

SVN 37792 is working fine. I think it was something temporary.

@ertank:
That is always a possibility. Trunk is not guaranteed to compile (although developers do try).

Another possibility (which i often forget) is to clean up my local tree. fwiw: sorry as i did not recognize you as notorious building from svn. I haven't checked the revision that you mentioned.
