I'm trying to install the gecko package in freepascascal using this guide: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GeckoPort_version2#Win32_widgetset

Unfortunatly when I run C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\fppkg.exe install gecko I get:

Install dependencies
An unhandled exception occurred at $004377D5 :

The FPC Package tool encountered the following error:
[lazmkunit] Execution of FPMake build failed

Solution

  • Put c:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32 in your PATH.

    fppkg queries other FPC binaries to retrieve version and target info, and to compile the result (as fppkg downloads source, and then compiles it on host).
