(Ubuntu 18.04 TLS MATE) using an i386 family CPU.<br>
AFAIK I need to have the fpc seed compiler in order to do this.<br>
<br>
But this is a hen and egg problem, how can I download the compiler<br>
needed to build 3.0.4 on this Linux machine?<br>
<br>
I have had the same problem for RaspberryPi computers in the past but<br>
then I managed to get hold of a seed compiler and now there is no<br>
problems installing fpc/lazarus on RPi boxes.<br>
Different story with Linux on a PC (with Intel CPU)...<br>
<br>
Grateful for any links to a working seed compiler.<br></blockquote></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Why don't you simply use the distribution independent release of 3.0.4? E.g. from here: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Linux/3.0.4">https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Linux/3.0.4</a> (you're looking for fpc-3.0.4.i386-linux.tar). You can install it in any location you want and only need to setup PATH accordingly afterwards (I do the same on my Linux systems for the releases). </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards, </div><div dir="auto">Sven </div><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"></blockquote></div></div>
