Lazarus ошибка fpc cfg отсутствует

I’ve just uninstalled my old Lazarus, rebooted and installed from lazarus-1.0.4-fpc-2.6.0-win32.exe.

In the Welcome screen I’ve browsed and selected C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe, but I get the error message «fpc.cfg is missing» despite the fact that that file is in the same directory as fpc.exe.

The screen tells me I can also use ppc386.exe, but then I’m told I don’t have a proper compiler and that ppc386.exe doesn’t support i386-win32 !!!

So I go back and reselect fpc.exe, but lazarus still isn’t happy.

What AM I supposed to select as the compiler (Windows XP SP3)?

Ignore warning messages and run lazarus.
Then go to settings dialog. Check fpc-folder names. All fpc folders must for you contain:
…\fpc\2.6.0\….

Maybe your new lazarus using settings from old lazaurs.

good luck.

Just to double check.

— Your old install was in C:\lazarus\
— You did uninstall it
— You installed 1.0.4 to C:\lazarus\ and there where no errors during install (except maybe «target folder not empty», which should be 99% ok)
— You did NOT move/copy,rename this folder at any time.
  You did NOT move/copy rename anything in C:\lazarus\fpc\
— The files
  C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe
  C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg
 both exist
— If you open C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg
 it is a text file, and some lines contain references to folders under C:\lazarus\fpc\
  like
  -FuC:\lazarus\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget

Did you ever have any cross compiler installed?
— Attach your C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg
— attach the output of
  cd C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\
  fpc.exe -i
  ppc386.exe -i

Thanks for looking at this. Yes, that’s all true.

Not to my knowledge, but I’ve run those two commands anyway. When I start L it is still telling me that «ppc386.exe doesn’t support i386-win32» and that fpc doesn’t have a config file.

Would it help to fill in those Environment Variables, and if so, where do I do that?

Please, save big text as file, and use attach. It is hard to read inline.

I was still looking for the exact output of «fpc -i» and «ppc386 -i». It must contain version, date, and some other info.

Also run «fpc -va test.pas». This should generate 1000nds of lines!
test.pas should just be «program a; begin end.»

What are the sizes of those 2 files?
You do run them, while you are in that directory?

See attachment. I did get output from «fpc -i» but I’m afraid I lost it — it’s ages since I did this DOS stuff.

What are the sizes of those 2 files?
fpc.cfg is 6738. After running «ppc386 -i» the size of fpc.exe has been reduced to 0! (which it was not before). That is evidently the reason for Access denied on subsequent calls to «fpc -i».

Yes.

Well it is an empty file that you attached.

you can do in Lazarus:
— New project: simple program
— project options => Other: This tab as a big memo: «Custom options» enter -va in this memo.
— Run => build
— from the messages window «Copy all and hidden messages»

———————
Another approach, so I expect you did already:
— uninstall again. delete all remaining files in C:\lazarus
— install: there is an option to delete user config. Select this option.

What is the file size of the installer? And again, the file size of fpc.exe and ppc386.exe

Thanks for your patience! Done that. The installer is 111,597,937, fpc.exe 86,016, fpc.cfg 6,738.

Attached is the output from the three commands.

When I start the IDE it still reports the correct directory but says fpc.cfg is missing.

Will try your other suggestion in the IDE and report back.

Done all that. I still get «Compiler … fpc.exe does not support target i386-win32. Output of Messages window attached.

Hm ok, that does at this point not look like an issue with fpc.cfg. That looks like the fpc.exe can not be executed at all.

The IDE probably reports the fpc.cfg missing, because it it needs to execute fpc.exe, in order to know the fpc.cfg.

Interesting as well the » : 5″ at the end. I don’t thing that should be there. But again not yet the concern. (There would be a different message).

For the previous test (fpc -i) did you use a dosbox (cmd.com) to run fpc.exe?
Did it give (when run from command line, outside lazarus) a message like:

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.0 [2012/01/04] for i386
Copyright (c) 1993-2011 by Florian Klaempfl and others

2 possibilities come to mind.
1) the exe is corrupt
2) Your antivirus blocks it. (Several antivirus solutions have *wrongly* reported fpc and fpc generated code as malicious. Same for gdb.

The version on sourceforge  was uploaded to virustotal.com and passed all good. (But you can check yourself)

You can try to set your AV to «gamemode» or similar, or «always ask» (though some AV do not ask, even if configured).

Filesizes should be (32 bit lazarus)

     86,016 fpc.exe
2,042,368 ppc386.exe

Yes, I ran it in a Dos box. No, it didn’t give that. I’ve attached the output.

I’ve tried disabling Avira Free and Comodo Firewall but to no avail.

This output is correct. So the fpc.exe is ok.

Leaves the question why the IDE can not run it. On 2nd thought, it seems the » : 5″ seems to be the system error code. If so 5 = «Access denied»

So something (User account settings?) forbids the IDE to run fpc.exe

I’ve uninstalled the latest version and installed from lazarus-0.9.28.2-fpc-2.2.4-win32.exe. Seems to be working OK now.
Thanks for your help.

You are missing lots of features and fixes…

But, it’s the first time I saw that error you have. So I have no idea what is wrong.

I installed Lazarus with this tutorial http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus

But when i open Lazarus i get the error:
fpc.cfg missing.

I used the alien command to install Lazaris and this is what i think the mistake(Because the site said: Debian users are recommended to use the deb packages, but may use either alien (warning, it doesn’t generate fpc.cfg) or the tarball install.)

How can i create a fpc.cnf file or fix this error?
