Lazarus Portable 1.4.4 Development Test 1

Hello,

the Version 1.4.0 of Lazarus was released in April 2015.

At work I am not allowed to install any applications, but I need Lazarus to code my application (I do it in my free time at work).
So PLEASE update Lazarus Portable to Version 1.4.0.

By the way: I am not good enough to package it my self.

Greetings

Hello Gord,

Thank you for packaging Lazarus and that you plan to release the current version soon.

But I have a problem running Lazarus Portable 1.2.6
I installed Lazarus Portable 1.2.6 and started it.
Then a configuration window is shown where a red exclamation mark is shown at the "Compiler" settings.
I see an error message "Error: File not found

Here is a list box containing just one entry:
D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\LazarusPortable\App\lazarus\fpc\2.6.4\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe

This exe file is existing, so I selected this entry.
Then the error message changes to "Error: fpc.cfg is missing".

I searched for this file in the Lazarus Portable directory and found:

• D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\LazarusPortable\App\DefaultData\fpc.cfg
• D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\LazarusPortable\App\lazarus\fpc.cfg
• D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\LazarusPortable\Data\settings\fpc.cfg

I really know nothing about creating portable apps, but is this a PATH-Problem (hat an entry in the PATH variable is missing)?

Hello Gord,

when do you plan to release Lazarus 1.4.0 ?
And do you have any fix (solution) for the "Error: fpc.cfg is missing"?

Sorry when I ask, but I am not allowed to install Lazarus at work, but PortableApps are working.
Thank you!

Hello Gord,

I am also actively programming in Lazarus, so it would be cool to see Lazarus as an official Portable App that is automatically updated via the PA Platform.

Hello Gord,

Lazarus 1.4.2 was released, see http://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I also have problems with your packaged version (version 1.4.0).
When I start Lazarus Portable, then an empty Lazarus project.
But when I compile this empty Lazarus project, I get the following error message (some parts are in German language):

Projekt kompilieren, Ziel: project1.exe: Exit code 1, Fehler: 1, Warnungen: 1
Warning: Recompiling LCLProc, checksum changed for FPCAdds
interfacebase.pp(30,58) Fatal: Kann LCLProc nicht finden verwendet von InterfaceBase, incompatible ppu=D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\LazarusPortable\App\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32\lclproc.ppu, Package LCLBase

When I translate the last error message into English language, this should be something like:
interfacebase.pp(30,58) Fatal: Can not find LCLProc used by InterfaceBase, incompatible ppu=D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\LazarusPortable\App\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32\lclproc.ppu, Package LCLBase

When I select in Lazarus in the Menu Run -> Clean up and compile then I get the following errors:

What can I do to fix this issue?
Is this a problem on my PC or a problem with the package?

Hello Gord,

I deleted the old version and installed the current version.
When I open Lazarus I get a new project.
But when I compile this new project I get the following compile error:

Projekt kompilieren, Ziel: project1.exe: Exit code 1, Fehler: 1
lclproc.pas(30,3) Fatal: Kann Unit win9xwsmanager nicht finden verwendet von LCLProc von Package LCLBase.

So, what is wrong here?

Any news on this?

Tnx!

There are a bunch of folders in Lazarus named "data", which your .gitignore file was causing git to ignore, and thus not include in the repository.
See Pull Request #1 [Merged].

Edit: Thanks for accepting my Pull Request.

Any news on this yet?

tnx!
