Build/Rebuild lazarus with components

[Kjow]

Hi all,

I need to compile lazarus in terminal (or command prompt) including
all components already installed.
I mean that I made a simple batch script on windows startup that
download fpc svn, lazarus svn, recompile fpc and finally recompile
lazarus, but every time I run Lazarus (after relative "make clean
all") I haven't any extra component. I need to click in "build" voice
in IDE menu.

How can I include all packages (extra and not) in command line compiling?

I noticed also that lazarus.exe hasn't the icon, how to associate it to the exe?

Finally, how to automatically strip lazarus.exe? It is 119Mb... :)

Many thanks!

It is already compiled in.
Maybe Paul can answer this?

Add to your script:
strip --strip-all lazarus.exe

Windows uses built-in icon automatically. On linux you need to assign
project ico file to desktop shortcut manually. I don't know if this can
be automated since even kde and gnome requires different actions for that.

On OSX we are thinking about the possibility to automatically generate a
bundle with .icns inside - then OSX will show application using that icon.

strip --strip-all lazarus.exe

There are other possibilities too. Compiler can strip if -Xs is passed
but I remember some conflicts with -g options. You can also ask fpc to
separate debug info from the executable using -Xg switch. I can be wrong
but as I remember -Xg works correctly starting from fpc 2.4.0

As just worte, startlazarus.exe and lazbuild.exe have both the icon,
but lazarus.exe hasn't.

So can I add -Xs or -Xg to the "make" for lazarus compile?
e.g. c:\develop\lazarus\> make -Xs

No,
the syntax is:

make OPT='-Xs'

But this won't work. See my other mail.

No,
make OPT='-Xs'

You can do OPT="-g- -Xs", but you don't have debug info in compiled
units either.

Oh, OK.
So to upgrade svn revisions I need to do "make" instead "make clean all".

Whops, I mean directly in "make" string... but it isn't a problem to
add a row in the script ;)

Thanks!

AFAIK this is not possible, because you can not disable the -g options
that are always passed by the makefile.

Umm... I do "make clean all", then it compile right, but without
installed extra packages.
Then if I try to do "lazbuild --build-all" or "lazbuild -B", I get:

c:\Develop\Lazarus>lazbuild --build-all
Error: missing file

Parametri:

But If I click on Tools->build lazarus I get lazarus compiled with all
packages I installed before the re-build.
Other thing I just noticed is that making lazarus by command line I
lose language setting and it returns to system language, but building
lazarus by IDE it returns to english (language I choose to use).

The language settings are not compiled in. They are fetched from the
environment variables.
Maybe it didn't found the lazarus source directory?

No idea. Lazarus.exe has the same icon as startlazarus and lazbuild here.

I think OPT=-Xg will work but -Xs will not.

Can you tell me what lazarus version do you have?

If 0.9.28 then look at lazarus.rc which must contain a manifest and an icon.
If 0.9.29 then lazarus.res must be in the ide folder which contains an icon.

Paul Ishenin.

So, I'm using latest revisions of SVN trunk (both lazarus and fpc)

Good to know - we have similar environment.

Lazarus trunk has a lazarus.res file:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ide/lazarus.res
Do you have one?

Ide using here: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/ide/lazarus.pp

[part of lazarus.pp]
MainBase, compiler_conditionals_options;

{$I revision.inc}
{$R lazarus.res}

begin

[/part of lazarus.pp]

This adds a manifest and an icon to the lazarus.exe. No idea why it is
not so for you.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

Oh! Now I understand, it is a my "mistake"... I edited lazarus.pp from
{$R lazarus.res} to { $R lazarus.res} because I use glscene that makes
a lot of graphical glitches with windows manifest, so I need to
disable this functions in lazarus IDE (otherwise, there is no way to
use design time editor).

How can I make my own lazarus.res that include all resources, but
without Windows manifest?

You can open lazarus.lpi in lazarus and edit the project options.

Thank you very much, now it is almost perfect :)

I noticed that if I want associate lazarus to open .lpi file, the icon
in file exploer isn't beauty (the real icon is at the center of a
white "box"), so I searched for the regedit key and I found that when
I want to associate a program to open a file Windows (seven in my
case) doesn't create the right key after windows "association":

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lpi_auto_file\DefaultIcon

then I edited the string value with:
C:\Develop\Lazarus\ide\lazarus.ico

Now it is ok, lpi files have the right and beautiful icon! In
attachment my exported .reg to doubleclick for future (editing with
right path needed).

It would be nice if will be in lazarus IDE a function to automatically
associate the right things in each OS (like with the installer
version).

Thank you very much for help,
Lazarus community is fantastic!

Kjow

AFAIK there is something like "make bigide", that includes the
previously installed packages.

make bigide compiles an IDE as found in the windows installer.
To compile an IDE with your current set of installed packages, use

lazbuild --build-ide=

After an svn update, it is better to do:

make clean all
lazbuild --build-all --build-ide=

or just:

lazbuild --build-all --build-ide=
