Erm... I've been following this thread quite closely since I find it may be extremely useful for some of my code - so I looked into the above link and can I just say that if you use a platform that has the Windows unit, like windows, all is nice. However, on linux I noticed that by default there is no Libc supplied with FPC (or at least not this version) so i tried a few of the units that are suggested by the FPC wiki to replace it and no luck. Any solutions for us non-windows folk?
Just a thought but unless I'm missing something here (other than clib) this is quite annoying =p
Edit: aaahahaaaa... Found the linking error:
As it happens on fpc 2.4.0, Libc is NOT compiled and its in
now thats nice, but that folder is protected - you have to sudo or gksudo to modify stuff there. If you use an IDE such as geany or fp and don't sudo or gksudo then it tries to compile LibC - fails and then tries to read LibC and fails and thus says there is no LibC. Annoying.Code:/usr/share/fpcsrc/2.4.0/packages/libc/src/
Or alternatively, I'm told you can go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeclx/ and get the kylix utils there. They should also contain LibC as part of gLibC... Sorry for the unnecessary post, but some may find this useful.
Final Edit: And if you sudo it, you still get some errors while linking ending in a super massive epic fail. Solution: Copy ALL files from libc folder to same folder you have lame.pas and compile it. Should work with less complaints... Don't know if you all have to go through this but this seems to be the only solution I have found on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick with latest updates (all update sources except unsupported)
