  • Help needed to make Lazarus compile on Sparc64

    Hi Sparc Porters Team,

    I was trying to make Lazarus compile on Sparc64 for long time.
    There was a bug in Free Pascal Compiler that prevented that: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/40252
    I manged to make upstream generate a patch for that and uploaded it to experimental: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1432268/accepted-fpc-322dfsg-21rc1-source-into-experimental/

    I tried to connect to kyoto.debian.net to test it, but I got timout on SSH connection.

    I've spent the day trying to update my QEMU VM or to install a new one, but it seems that QEMU version shipped with Bookworm is buggy on Sparc64.
    So that to say I completely lost he day without any success.

    Can anyone please, try to rebuild Lazarus on Sparc64 with FPC from experimental and let me know if that is OK?
    Or at least provide access to a Sparc64 machine where I can do it myself?

    PS: I'm not subscribed to this list, so please keep me in copy.

    Thanks for fixing this bug!

    I tried to connect to kyoto.debian.net to test it, but I got timout on SSH connection.

    kyoto is unfortunately offline because I lost the place for hosting it and
    I haven't found a new home for this server yet. At the moment, the machine
    is sitting in my shelf at home in storage.

    There is some hope we will have a SPARC-T4 available soon that is currently being set up for the GCC compile farm and that we can get some LDOMs on
    (SPARC virtual machines).

    I've spent the day trying to update my QEMU VM or to install a new one, but it seems that QEMU version shipped with Bookworm is buggy on Sparc64.
    So that to say I completely lost he day without any success.

    You can use qemu-user which is easier to use:

    https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/sbuildQEMU https://wiki.debian.org/SH4/sbuildQEMU

    Can anyone please, try to rebuild Lazarus on Sparc64 with FPC from experimental and let me know if that is OK?

    I'll give it a try.

    Or at least provide access to a Sparc64 machine where I can do it myself?

    Still fails, unfortunately.

    This fails because the build process pulled FPC 3.2.2+dfsg-20 from unstable instead of 3.2.2+dfsg-21~rc1 from experimental.
    One way would be to force FPC version either in the Lazarus control file or on the machine itself.

    Odd, I actually preinstalled fpc from experimental in the chroot. But it was late yesterday and I probably mixed up the chroots.

    I will try again later today.

    Will that be OK, or should I prepare an upload of Lazarus to experimental with strict dependency?

    This is great, at least it means that the compiler was fixed.

    I'll try to fix Lazarus now.

    Thank you for your help.
