I have a RaspberryPi4 where I have installed several versions of Lazarus/Fpc over some time. The latest versions are (fpc from Tools/Options/Compiler_executable):
Laz 2.0.8 with Fpc 3.0.4 set to use fpc: fpc Laz 2.0.10 with Fpc 3.2.0 set to use fpc: /home/pi/lib/fpc/3.2.0/ppcarm Laz 2.0.12 with Fpc 3.2.0 set to use fpc: /home/pi/lib/fpc/3.2.0/ppcarm Now I wanted to add a new Lazarus version and update my FPC to 3.2.2 as well. So I have done what I always do, gotten the fpc sources from GitLab into a new dir ~/dev/fpc/3.2.2, then executed inside that dir using fpc 3.2.0 as seed: make clean FPC="/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.0/compiler/ppcarm" make all FPC="/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.0/compiler/ppcarm" And then after that succeeded: make install prefix="$HOME" FPC="$HOME/dev/fpc/3.2.2/compiler/ppcarm" which throws an error! So I tried without $HOME: make install prefix="/home/pi" FPC="/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2/compiler/ppcarm" which also throws the error, it displays this sequence: make installbase FPC=/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2/compiler/ppcarm ZIPDESTDIR=/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2 FPCMAKE=/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2/utils/fpcm/bin/arm-linux/fpcmake make[1]: Entering directory '/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2' /usr/bin/install -m 755 -d /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.2.2 /usr/bin/install: cannot create directory /usr/local/lib/fpc: Permission denied make[1]: *** [Makefile:2858: installbase] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2' make: *** [Makefile:2875: installall] Error 2 This has *never* happened before to me and I do not understand why it brings up /usr/bin/ and /usr/local/lib/, the whole point of my use of the argument prefix="/home/pi" is to install *locally* below the home dir and not to a global location where you nhave to be sudo to do anything... Note: my $HOME/.fpc.cfg from 2019 contains exclusively paths looking like this: #ifndef VER2 -FM/home/pi/lib/fpc/../../share/fpc/$fpcversion/unicode/ #endif # searchpath for units and other system dependent things -Fu/home/pi/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget -Fu/home/pi/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/* -Fu/home/pi/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/rtl Is this a new behaviour for Fpc 3.2.2 different from that of Fpc 3.2.0 where it did not happen??? If not, what could have happened and in both cases how do I fix it? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
