[Pkg-pascal-devel] Help needed with ddrescueview

[Graham Inggs]

Hi Pascal Team

While preparing the packaging for the new upstream release of
ddrescueview [1], I found that the build started to fail in a minimal
chroot with the following:

Hint: (lazarus) [RunTool] "/usr/bin/fpc" "-iWTOTP"
Hint: (lazarus) [RunTool] "/usr/bin/fpc" "-va" "compilertest.pas"
Hint: (lazarus) [RunTool] "/usr/bin/fpc" "-iWTOTP" "-Tlinux"
Hint: (lazarus) [RunTool] "/usr/bin/fpc" "-va" "compilertest.pas" "-Tlinux"
Hint: (lazarus) [RunTool] "/usr/bin/fpc" "-iWTOTP" "-Px86_64" "-Tlinux"
Hint: (lazarus) [RunTool] "/usr/bin/fpc" "-va" "compilertest.pas"
"-Px86_64" "-Tlinux"
An unhandled exception occurred at $00005634E0F1E5A3:
EAccessViolation: Access violation
  $00005634E0F1E5A3
  $00005634E0A64CE3
  $00005634E0AE6A9B
  $00005634E092D7EB
  $00005634E092CF12
  $00005634E092B423
  $00005634E0930B83
  $00005634E0933799

The build was successful in the environment where I was preparing and
testing the packaging, and I was able to solve this by adding a
Build-Depends on lazarus-src.  I don't understand the reason for this,
and it's not very helpful that the build failed with an access
violation instead of a helpful error message.

There are also new build failures [2] on mipsel and m68k, and an
existing one on ppc64.

I think we have some bugs in fpc or lazarus, but I'm unsure how to
proceed.  Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards
Graham
