FMX package units not found after FmxLinux installation

[JGMS 2]

Quote

I have installed FmxLinux, got the PaServer up and running (D12 in Windows11, WSL2, Ubuntu22.04) and added and selected the LinuxPlatform in a new, multi-device, blank application: a form with a single button.

In the project file (shown below) the problem is already hinted, showing:  'E2212: Package unit "FMX.Forms" cannot appear in contains or uses clauses'.

FireMonkey applications for Windows run fine, so FMX package units cannot be missing.

What can be wrong?

 

program Project1;

uses
  System.StartUpCopy,
  FMX.Forms, <<== design-time error hint 'E2212: Package unit "FMX.Forms" cannot appear in contains or uses clauses'
  Unit1 in 'Unit1.pas' {Form1};

{$R *.res}

begin
  Application.Initialize;
  Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
  Application.Run;
end.

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.fmx}

end.

Did you install FMXLinux via getit ?

Jus did a Form with a button and it works against Ubuntu, CentOS7, Rocky8
But I have the FMX.Forms in the main unit uses section, not in the project file.

 

For your info, I just installed FMXLinux from GetIt and didn't configure anything else.

I think a requirement is that you need a Linux connection and SDK before installing but that's about it.
It didn't require any path definitions, etc...

Thank you @Serge_G and @sjordi for taking time to answer.
 

Initially I had FMX installed by using the installer V1.77 that comes with the updates that I got from the original developer (I bought a lifetime version a couple of years ago). It always ran perfect, except for this time.

Because of the error I subsequently installed it via GetIT (V1.76), but this yielded the same error.
I quess things will get better after a fresh installation of the latest update to Delphi version 12.1.

I will keep you informed.

The install should define all the library and search paths for you if you install via GetIt.
And the FMX.Form has nothing to do in the dpr or dproj file, but in the unit that uses it (the main form).

Good luck
