Description:

when compiling the default project, without any modifications after install of Lazarus, I get the following warnings:
----------------
Compile Project, Target: /home/user/tmp/project1: Success, Warnings: 2
project1.lpr(21,1) Warning: "crtbeginS.o" not found, this will probably cause a linking failure
project1.lpr(21,1) Warning: "crtendS.o" not found, this will probably cause a linking failure
----------------

Additional info:
* package version: lazarus-qt5-2.0.10-1


Steps to reproduce:

- install lazarus-qt5-2.0.10-1 with "pacman -S lazarus-qt5"
- compile default project

This is not normal. Practically, Lazarus is DOA (Dead On Arrival). Please fix it.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  rebuilt fpc for gcc 10.2.x

So warnings mean it's DOA? WTF?

@ Doug Newgard (Scimmia): Lazarus also crashed for me a few times, suddenly closing all it's windows from the screen. That's why I said that at first. But then I removed Lazarus with "pacman -Rsc lazarus-q5" and reinstalled. It doesn't crash anymore, but the warnings are still there.

I don't want to create the impression I am unappreciative. I thank Ike Devolder (BlackEagle) for packaging it.

Also, I want to help. And as a note of improvement, the default font of the Source Editor (DejaVu Sans Mono) looks very bad. Some characters are fused together. Even setting "Extra character spacing" to 2 doesn't help much. I am attaching screenshot.
Fonts that look normal to me in KDE 5.19.5: Nimbus Mono PS, Bold, 11; Noto Sans, Regular, 11; Source Code Pro, Semibold, 11.

I forgot to rebuild fpc for updated gcc, rebuilds are coming to the repo's later today

@adi.sav for the font configuration, I'm not sure if that should be changed in the package. To be honest I mostly use lazarus because its required to build doublecmd, so I don't spend much time in it's interface

@BlackEagle
Thank you for the rebuilds.

I understand that the font is not important for you, since you use Lazarus just to build doublecmd (I also use it and it is a great file manager with many advanced features I use daily).
But for others it might be important. A lot of people use Arch Linux (and derivatives) and many use Lazarus. Why not make a little effort to make a big difference to somebody and also to improve the overall quality of Arch repository?

@adi.sav I want to be sure this is a general issue, and not just for you alone (the font stuff)
Comment by Ike Devolder (BlackEagle) - Tuesday, 06 October 2020, 10:25 GMT
I just tested on my work machine and it looks pretty ok

For the font issue I'm going to check this evening on my machine where I'm running plasma-desktop to see if its showing similar issue with the font as in your screenshot
Comment by Adrian Sav (adi.sav) - Tuesday, 06 October 2020, 13:39 GMT
Yes, the font looks okay on your computer. I wonder what's the problem on my side...
I just installed my Linux (Manjaro, which is based on Arch) from scratch. Everything is at default.

I can confirm that when you are using plasma-desktop the font looks worthless

I'm not going to change the font settings for lazarus, because it it caused due to settings in plasma

If I'm changing the font hinting to medium lazarus shows the fonts just fine.
