About
Can not find unit FileUtil used by UTF8Process is an error message produced by Lazarus IDE when trying to recompile the IDE itself.
(Note that this is ungrammatical; it should say "Cannot find unit...".)
Installing (with apt-get) the package "lcl-1.0.10" fixed this problem, but resulted in:
- lazarus.pp(51,3) Fatal: Can not find unit Interfaces used by Lazarus.
- I eventually fixed this, I think, by installing more apt-get packages.
- "Can't find unit Cairo used by gdk2"
- Installing "fpc" (and some dependencies) seemed to fix this.
- /usr/lib/lazarus/1.0.10/ide/editoroptions.pp(5705,1) Error: Can't write resource file "/usr/lib/lazarus/1.0.10/units/x86_64-linux/gtk2/editoroptions.res"
- This turned out to be an ownership problem with just that one file; I changed ownership to me:me.
- Same problem with lazarus.res; same fix.
...and then it basically worked.
