Lacking any advice here I started over by removing the old Lazarus directory and the pcp dir and then build from start with a new set of source files in a fresh 2.2.4 subdir... All was Ok until again the OLPM packages were installed when the new Lazarus also failed to start. It seems like at least one of the packages I use from OLPM will hose Lazarus! So now I will repeat the effort but this time I will install one package after another using OLPM and rebuild Lazarus IDE after each. This way I would be able to pinpoint the one that causes the problem. Finally: -------- I have looked at https://wiki.freepascal.org/lazbuild and want to know: Is there a way to specify the compiler *path* to use for lazbuild? For example (on one line): lazbuild --build-ide= --pcp=$HOME/.lazarus_2.2.4 --compiler=$HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppcarm According to the wiki it is unclear to me if a path can be used rather than only the file name (in which case it needs to be on path?)... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
