Hi,

I have been using Code Typhon for a few months now with few issues. Yesterday however I uninstalled Code Typhon and did a fresh install of the latest version (6.00). Installation went without an issue. I used the build all option, as opposed to the multiarch options. Everything ran fine, and I even wrote a very quick program and compiled it as demonstration that it was working. Following this, I proceeded to install the FPSpreadsheet (as per the instructions seen here sourceforge.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/HEAD/t...nents/fpspreadsheet/)

Now, when I try to start Code Typhon, I get a blue window titled Configure Typhon IDE, stating "Error: fpc.cfg is missing". I can start the IDE, but can no longer compile programs. I have looked online and see that one or two people have experienced the same problem before, but with much older versions. I have tried a few things to recover from this, but to no avail. I have searched for fpc.cfg and can confirm it is in the path as shown by Code Typhon (/usr/local/codetyphon/fpc/fpc64/bin/x86_64-linux/fpc) IE it is not missing, however perhaps it has somehow become corrupted.

Note I am running Ubuntu 16.04 64 BIT.

How can I recover from this?

Did you install Lazarus FPC etc?

-You can from CTCenter->FreePascal-> CPC32 Exrtact Bin Files
-You can from CTCenter->FreePascal-> CPC64 Exrtact Bin Files

-You can Rebuild CodeTyphon from CTCenter->CodeTyphon->Remove and build ALL

Thanks for the rapid reply.

No, I did not install anything out of the ordinary if that's what you mean. I presume the FPC compiler is what comes as standard as part of Code Typhon. I did the standard full installation (Build All option). Everything worked just fine (no errors and I could compile a simple program). However after installing the FPSpreadsheet package (which is well documented on the Lazarus page) Code Typhon no longer worked, and comes up with this error of not finding the fpc.cfg file. I found the file exactly where Code Typhon said it was looking for it, and I opened it without issue in a text editor. Everything looks "normal" in the file, and I did not edit anything as I would have no idea what to do in that file anyway.

FPSpreadsheet is CT pl_FPSpreadsheet
NO need to install it
I don't know if FPSpreadsheet is "compatible" with CT

Just CTCenter=>Typhon-IDE=>Typhon IDE Remove and build BigIDE
I think, will solve your problem

ummm, where is the CT Center? I would expect to find something like re-build under Tools menu, but I don't see where to re-compile/install Code Typhon. Seems a very drastic move too, as this takes some time, and there is no guarantee that this will resolve the issue. In fact given that I will be following the same footsteps as before (IE re-install CT, then install FPS package) I would expect the same results!

by pl_FPSpreadsheet do you mean the Spreadsheet component library seen in the top toolbar? This has FPSpreadsheettrls and TsWorksheetGrid (fpspreadsheetgrid) components in it, correct?

Correct

Thanks. And where do I find CT Centre? is it in the CT IDE somewhere, or accessed elsewhere? Scratch that, I found where the CT Centre is. But now I can see the Typhon IDE option under the Status tab, however there is no rebuild option.

On Unity desktop of Ubuntu




pl_FPSpreadsheet (Spreadsheet) component library



and rebuild Typhon IDE action


In CodeTyphon you can remove and rebuild FreePascal or Typhon IDE unlimited times from CTCenter
with out reinstall CT

Screens form Ubuntu 16.10 now...

Doh!! as SOON as I saw your reply, I knew where you had gone, sorry. Really tired, it's late and I think I need to go to bed

Thanks for all your assistance. I'll give this another go tomorrow.

have fun...
