[Pkg-pascal-devel] Need help with lazarus-related bug

[Paul Gevers]

Hi Michael,

[I cc'd the pascal devel mail list which is going to be the "maintainer"
of most pascal based packages, including fpc/lazarus itself, please
don't respond to me in private, but to that list (Mail-Reply-To set
accordingly) I am subscribed.]

So far, you didn't explain the original issue :).

Please check your alternative settings for lazarus and fpc. I recommend
them to be set to the highest version of fpc and lazarus that you
installed. That is to say, start with checking that /etc/lazarus is
actually a symlink to /etc/alternatives/lazarus.cfg.

Of course, the other thing to check is your build dependencies. Might be
that you are missing one (lcl-units ?). I hope Abou can jump in on this
discussion, he is much more knowledgeable than me on the exact layout of
the different packages. I don't really understand them as I am not
enough involved in development of lazarus.

I git cloned your packaging, so I could help debug, but it is not
working for me. Do you also have a pristine-tar branch so that I create
the tar ball from the git repository? Your get-orig-source target
finishes with an error:
finishing deferred symbolic links:
  mricron/mricron.app/Contents/MacOS/mricron -> ../../../mricron
date: invalid date `28 August 2013\n 32bit\n 64bit'
make: *** [get-latest-source] Error 1

Also your clean target fails:
paul at wollumbin ~/tmp/mricron $ debian/rules clean
dh clean
   dh_testdir
   dh_auto_clean
   debian/rules override_dh_clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/media/home/paul/tmp/mricron'

dh_clean

And lastly, it is of course possible that you hit a bug in the packaging
of lazarus. Maybe we find out here.
