Hello,

I wanted to report that I have some issues with the installation on Ubuntu 12.04.

[Desktop] The first issue I ran into was an OpenGL problem on one computer (using nouveaux on NV34 adapter). Lazarus would not start - unfortunately I did not note the error. I was able to work around the problem by making these changes in synaptics.

Edit: Do not do this. Lazarus wont re/build. Hosed system had to reinstall my system partition.
libsdl1.2-dev deinstall
libgl1-mesa-swx11 install
nvidia-settings deinstall
libglewmx1.5 install
ubuntu-desktop deinstall
jockey-common deinstall
libgtkglext1-dev deinstall
libosmesa6 install
libglu1-mesa-dev deinstall
freeglut3-dev deinstall
dkms install
libgl1-mesa-dev deinstall
nvidia-common deinstall
libgl1-mesa-glx deinstall
jockey-gtk deinstall

Both computers indicate "NOT Found !!!" on all libraries on CT's Libraries Tab.

Cross-Build "FPC32 build cross element arm-android" Failed for different reasons on both computers.

[Laptop]One indicates "Cross compiler ppcrossarm NOT builded sorry, build STOP".
[Desktop]The other "Cross element for arm-android NOT Exists sorry, build STOP".

I had previously ran Cross-Build > "FPC32 build cross element arm-linux" on
[Desktop], so I did the same on [Laptop]. Now both have the later error.

I tried to compile the androidlcltest project in examples and got this error:

Options changed, recompiling clean with -B

Hint: End of reading config file /usr/lib/codetyphon/fpc/bin/i386-linux/fpc.cfg

Compiling androidlcltest.lpr
androidlcltest.lpr(6,3) Fatal: Can not find unit customdrawnint used by androidlcltest. Check if package LCL is in the dependencies.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

I did. I was able to get Lazarus to run by enabling the vendor drivers for nvidia and the x-swat repository.

sudo su
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

restart

sudo jockey-gtk

The remaining issues are Android related.

"Cross element for arm-android NOT Exists sorry, build STOP"
"Cross compiler ppcrossarm NOT builded sorry, build STOP"
I mention the second as the instructions do not indicate it is a requirement.

Also, I had another question regarding Android. Does CT patch FPC/LAZ for android JVM?
wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_JVM/Building
wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_JVM_Android_Development

And lastly, is tiOPF supported?

Thank you. I appreciate the work done on CT.

Brian

Would this be why I had the problem with androidlcltest?
I am able to compile and run a console testapp on android using ".../fpc -Tlinux -Parm -XParm-linux- ...",
But I got a different error when I just now tried again to compile the example.

secondform.pas(113,14) Error: Identifier not found "CDWidgetSet"
secondform.pas(114,6) Error: Ordinal expression expected
secondform.pas(115,6) Error: Ordinal expression expected

Can I install it myself?

And finally, no news regarding the JVM question?
I would like to explore both methods of FPC/Android development.

Brian

The Android Cross Element is a special
Arm-Linux element, the building procedure has some tricks
so, you must wait for CT ver 3.00 release

JVM is the new FPC kid on the block, experimental
we waiting "stabilization" of FPC SVN code

<<I would like to explore both methods of FPC/Android development.>>

we want the same...soon..
