I checked out trunk (r63245) via subversion, which reported no errors. I then changed into the subdirectory, and ran make -B The following is a cut and paste of the results. > brian@brian-mint:~/subversion/lazarus$ make -B > make -C packager/registration > make[1]: Entering directory > '/home/brian/subversion/lazarus/packager/registration' > /bin/rm -f ../units/x86_64-linux/fcllaz.ppu > /bin/mkdir -p ../units/x86_64-linux > /usr/bin/ppcx64 -MObjFPC -Scghi -O1 -g -gl -l -vewnhibq -Fu. > -Fu/usr/lib/fpc/3.0.4/units/x86_64-linux/rtl -FE. -FU../units/x86_64-linux > -Cg -dx86_64 fcllaz.pas > Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.4 [2018/10/29] for x86_64 > Copyright (c) 1993-2017 by Florian Klaempfl and others > (1002) Target OS: Linux for x86-64 > (3104) Compiling fcllaz.pas > /home/brian/subversion/lazarus/packager/registration/fcllaz.pas(11,3) Fatal: > (10022) Can't find unit db used by fcllaz > Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted > Makefile:2929: recipe for target 'fcllaz.ppu' failed > make[1]: *** [fcllaz.ppu] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory > '/home/brian/subversion/lazarus/packager/registration' > Makefile:3410: recipe for target 'registration' failed > make: *** [registration] Error 2 > brian@brian-mint:~/subversion/lazarus$ So, I decided to try running an update, in case something had failed to download, and I'd missed it.
