Gutsy : Lazarus - FPC source dir not found

Asked by JohnEverest

Ubuntu 7.10 clean install. Installed Lazarus using add/remove....

Lazarus starts up with a warning messagebox about "The Free Pascal source was not found - Some functions will not work" and an "Ignore" button.

 I tried a simple Tbutton and Tlabel on the form but the failed with class method not found error.

Solution: (espanglish, summary of the important thing)

Download source FPC of:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/source/fpc

the files

File Size (in kB
fpc_2.0.4-5.dsc 0.9
fpc_2.0.4.orig.tar.gz 20092.4 (only download this)
fpc_2.0.4-5.diff.gz 9.3

The archive Fpc_2.0.4.orig.tar.gz is opened and is extracted in a everything folder (by defect in the folder /fpc-2.0.4/). copy it folder in /usr/src, the sources are in /usr/src/fpc-2.0.4/.

Executes lazarus and then selected of menu: enviorenment --> enviorenment Options, and in "Directory of sources FPC" write usr/src/fpc-2.0.4/.

Espero que entiendas..., I hope that you understand...

EXITOS....

This works in Hardy now, but when you try to build anything, you get this:

/tmp/project1.lpr(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit URIParser used by XMLRead

sudo apt-get install fpc
sudo apt-get install fpc-source

will solve the problem

It works, but these packages should be installed at once with lazarus. Has anyone reported this?
