Overview

To install a package in the IDE you need the following

  • all required packages must be setup and compiled
  • the .lpk file must be registered
  • setup the $HOME/.lazarus/staticpackages.inc file
  • setup $HOME/.lazarus/idemake.cfg

Compile and register the required packages

Do recursively the steps on this page until only the base lazarus packages are needed.

Register the .lpk file

The IDE must find the .lpk file for a packagename. It searches the .lpk file in the following places:

  • In the $HOME/.lazarus/packagefiles.xml file
  • In the <lazarus_path>/packager/globallinks/

Setup the $HOME/.lazarus/staticpackages.inc file

Create this file, if it does not exist. Add the packagename plus a comma to this file. For example this file can look like this: 

 Printer4Lazarus,
 RunTimeTypeInfoControls,
 H2PasWizard,

setup $HOME/.lazarus/idemake.cfg

The idemake.cfg contains the compile parameters. The easiest way to create this file is to install the package in a IDE and then copy the file to the target machine and adapt the file paths.
