[Pkg-pascal-devel] compiling packages as user (and autopkgtest)

[Paul Gevers]

Dear all,

I assume you noticed that I uploaded the release candidates of lazarus
recently. In my last upload, I revisited the autopkgetest that we (I)
have added to the package. While going through some of the (currently
accepted) failures, I was wondering what it means if package A depends
on package B, both are available, but not compiled by default. It seems
that $(lazbuild A) fails to find (and) compile package B, even if
package B was compiled just before. It seems the logic of lazbuild
should grow some "please also look into the $HOME/.lazarus/ folder for
the compiled units".

Did I conclude this correctly? Is this already supposed to work? Should
we report this upstream?

It seems to me quite some of the current failures could be avoided and
leaves us with packages (e.g.) meant for Windows.

Paul
