Windows

Here is a windows batch script that takes care of checking out and updating Lazarus from GIT to a subdirectory and even basic error fixing, because i have no way of knowing where Lazarus is installed it cannot compile or copy the files to your working Lazarus installation. Please save the script as getlaz.bat or some other name, however there is no warranty of any kind, use at your own risk, put it in a test directory first and make sure there is no subdirectory already called lazarus.

@echo off

GNU/Linux

A trivial script to update the local repository for Lazarus etc..

In home-directory, have a special cvsroot-subdirectory.

In this directory have a script for downloading Lazarus and other interesting projects.

Lazarus is installed in /usr/share/lazarus.

Before building a new version with the current remote repository from GitLab I make a backup, just in case the current remote repository is unstable.

This is done by moving the /usr/share/lazarus directory to /usr/share/lazarus.BAK


To adapt the script to your system, you need to alter the constants defined at the start of the script.

It may not be working, as usual and does not catch any errors.

#!/bin/bash
 
# get a local copy of the repository prior running this script - so first do:
# git clone https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus.git
 
# Define some directories , much better to not put stuff below /usr/ but below /home/ 
# must point the the same root as LAZDIR
BASEDIR=/usr/share/
# dir of the git repository
LAZCVSDIR=~/cvsroot/lazarus/
# dir where lazarus is installed to
LAZDIR=/usr/share/lazarus/
# backup dir with the previous lazarus installation
LAZBACKUP=/usr/share/lazarus.BAK
 
# Remove old backup if it exists
date +"%T %tStart"
if [ -d $LAZBACKUP ]
then 
  date +"%T %tRemoving old backup"
  rm $LAZBACKUP -fr
else
  date +"%T %tNo backup to remove"
fi
 
date +"%T %tCreating copy of lazarus dir"
cp -R $LAZDIR $LAZBACKUP
 
# Getting stuff from GitLab
date +"%T %tUpdate lazarus"
git pull > ~/cvs_update.log
 
# Copying cloned files to our laz dir.
date +"%T %tcopying files"
cp -Rf $LAZCVSDIR $BASEDIR --reply=yes
 
# Make and building of lazarus
date +"%T %tmake lazarus" 
cd $LAZDIR
make > /dev/null                   ### so you don't see all the errors which will inevitably break the script
date +"%T %tmake the packages"
make idepkg > /dev/null
date +"%T %tFinished"
