In Linux , it could be apply the Free Pascal tests as a normal user .
The same tests can applied in DragonFly BSD when FPC port is ready .

In that part there is no problem .

The readme.txt become very easy to understand .

Before receiving this message , I have prepared myself a note how to apply
tests as a user ( not "root" )

My notes are the following with respect to Linux :


1. Create a directory as {$HOME}/{$Testing_Lazarus} where
{$Testing_Lazarus} is a selected name .
2. Copy /lib64/lazarus/test/ into {$HOME}/{$Testing_Lazarus}
3. Copy /lib64/lazarus/lazbuild  into  {$HOME}/{$Testing_Lazarus}
4. Compile {$HOME}/{$Testing_Lazarus}/test/runtests.lpi
5. Compile {$HOME}/{$Testing_Lazarus}/test/runtestsgui.lpi
6. Execute {$HOME}/{$Testing_Lazarus}/test/runtestsgui by double clicking
on it .
    Wait for a while to complete tests .
    At the end of tests , save the generated XML file .
7 . Open a console terminal in  {$HOME}/{$Testing_Lazarus}/test/
8.  ./runtests  displays a help information .
9 . With respect to help information ,  write an execution statement :
  ./runtests --all --format={latext | plain | xml }
--file=Name_of_the_output_file.{tex | txt | xml }
    Wait for a while to complete tests .


Also I have compiled other programs in other directories .

Except


Compilation of

.../test/testresult-db/importtestresults.lpi

is giving


Error: Error while linking


the other programs are compiled correctly .

My Lazarus is v1.2.6 from Linux x86_64 release .


If you include information about other programs , the readme.txt will be
much more informative .


At present , there are FPC packages for NetBSD and OpenBSD , but there are
NOT Lazarus packages ( if I am not wrong ) . I want to help to generate a
Lazarus package for DragonFly BSD as much as possible . For this , testing
is a vital step .

By using this experience , perhaps we can help to generate Lazarus packages
for NetBSD and OpenBSD also .



Thank you very much .
