Hi. I'm actually playing around with VMware virtual machines and one of the software packages I try to install on each of them is Lazarus/Free Pascal. No major problems on macOS, nor on a dozen of Linux distributions. But, on FreeBSD, it seems to be nothing else then a lose of time.
My system is FreeBSD 13.0 64bit with KDE Plasma desktop. I did not succeed in updating the system (using pkg). Error: Repository FreeBSD contains packages for wrong OS version. I got this same error when trying to install Lazarus. Setting IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes, Lazarus installed, but when rebooting the machine, KDE did not start up anymore (I think here again there is a version problem with VMware drivers and/or KDE). Finally, I installed Lazarus via the ports. This went well (Lazarus version installed = 2.0.10), all components found, the IDE starts up. But, not possible to build applications. Error: /bin/ld.bfd not found. I tried to install binutils, what also ended with an error...
No idea, why I spend hours with an installation, that I don't need on an OS that I don't need. Maybe, because I'm not willing to believe that FreeBSD only works as a server system and that it couldn't be possible that an intermediate user could use it as they use some Linux distribution. Greatful for any help or suggestions. A nice day to everyone!
