[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#902888: [lcl-utils-1.8] lazbuild crash when lazarus-src is not installed

[Alexander Kernozhitsky]

Package: lcl-utils-1.8
Version: 1.8.4+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I was trying to build a project using lazbuild. To do this, I installed the 
following packages: lcl-utils, lcl-units, lcl-nogui (not the entire Lazarus 
IDE). Then I ran

$ lazbuild <project name>.lpi

and got a crash at lazbuild startup. The stacktrace is:

An unhandled exception occurred at $00000000009D6060:
EAccessViolation: Access violation

  $0000000000408B7E line 1467 of lazbuild.lpr
  $000000000040BCD6 line 1870 of lazbuild.lpr

(To make this stacktrace, I recompiled lazbuild with debugging symbols)

Nothing else was printed to the console.

After I installed lazarus-src, the problem disappeared. With the entire ide 
(lazarus-ide packages) the bug isn't reproducible also.

The bug doesn't happen on all projects, but on the projects where it happens, 
it is reproducible always (attempts to rebuild >10 times exposes the same 
problem)
