Bug Description

Binary package hint: fpc

I am trying to compile a new package (my first) for Ubuntu in a pbuilder environment with lazarus, but it fails because fp-units-gtk2 has undefined references. A bug was filed [1] where a patch was also supplied. I tried to tested it but I did not get it to work. I attach it here nevertheless because it looks simple, although the paths are not correct. It tries to patch packages/gtk2/src/gtk+/gtk/gtk2.pas and packages/gtk2/src/gtk+/gtk/gtkfilesystem.inc instead of fpcsrc/packages/extra/gtk2/gtk+/gtk/gtk2.pas and fpcsrc/packages/extra/gtk2/gtk+/gtk/gtkfilesystem.inc

My debian type program source is available at [2]

The error message:

I can now confirm that the patch applied in the right directory did indeed solve the problem. I created a patch to the Ubuntu directory.

Applied the patch against source of fpc_2.2.0-dfsg1 (patched to fpc_2.2.0-dfsg1-9).

(the path problem is because the FPC 2.2.1 branch (development between 2.2.0 and 2.2.2 releases) changed directory layout for the packages/ tree in januari 2008, which eliminates the base/ and extra/ division that is no longer needed, and cleanups the cruft of years from that part of the tree.

2.2.2 will have the layout as seen in the mantis patch, 2.2.0 still has the layout with extra/ and base/

I reopen this bug because by syncing fpc in jaunty the bug is back (in Jaunty). Although John Dong (the uploader of the patch in Intrepid) mentioned it could be dropped on the next sync, the bug is , as far as I can tell, only fixed in upstream version 2.3.1. I attached a patch to the 2.2.2-4 package of fpc in ubuntu in bug 275688. Feel free to comment. I can confirm that the patch solves this bug and that it allows the lazarus package to build (which depends on fpc and currently does not build due to this bug). If wanted, I can upload the patched version to my PPA [1] (which I might be doing shortly anyway).

For completeness I also attached the patch here. Bug 275688 is getting a little long and is basically unrelated.
