==About==

{{Main Page}}
−
The goal of the [http:../ Lazarus-CCR] Knowledgebase is to make all documentation for Lazarus and the Free Pascal Compiler available and searchable online. While the compiler is well documented, Lazarus has a few gaps... so this area is an "open document", or "wiki" where anyone can edit and add content. The wiki speeds things up by making it possible to make changes and additions with a browser! For tutorials, please take a look at the [http://www.chat11.com/30_Second_Quick_Wiki_Tutorial 30 Second Quick Wiki Tutorial] or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial WikiPedia Tutorial]. A [[Sand Box]] is available for practice.

The goal of this Wiki is to collect and store the knowledge necessary for the productive use of Free Pascal, Lazarus and [[Related projects|related projects]]. The Wiki is intended to be the first port of call for users looking for information on how to use the tools provided by those projects.

The Free Pascal Compiler already has [https://www.freepascal.org/docs.html user documentation] available in several formats. [[FPC development|FPC developer information]], and subjects not yet [[FPC documentation|properly documented]], is stored in this Wiki. Lazarus has some gaps in its [https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Documentation/ user documentation] and so this Wiki is a place where anyone can edit, improve and expand the [[Lazarus Documentation|Lazarus documentation]].

Wiki Portals have been created for a selection of the platforms and topics that Free Pascal and Lazarus support. The Portals gather together all the related information for the particular platform or topic in one place to make it easier to locate. The full list of supported platforms may be found [[Platform_list|here]].

All the available documentation and [[Lazarus_Documentation#Lazarus_and_Pascal_Tutorials|tutorials]] for the Lazarus IDE (including the Free Pascal Compiler manuals) can be found on the [[Lazarus Documentation]] page. Many of the pages are "works in progress" so please feel free to add your experience to these sections. You can also create a personal page with contact information, if you wish.

If you're currently converting a component or library or you need something converted, please post it on the [[Current Projects]] page. These postings will help guide developers who want to convert components that are in demand... and also prevent the duplicated effort of two people converting the same package.

Welcome to the Free Pascal and Lazarus Wiki

The goal of this Wiki is to collect and store the knowledge necessary for the productive use of Free Pascal, Lazarus and related projects. The Wiki is intended to be the first port of call for users looking for information on how to use the tools provided by those projects.

The Free Pascal Compiler already has user documentation available in several formats. FPC developer information, and subjects not yet properly documented, is stored in this Wiki. Lazarus has some gaps in its user documentation and so this Wiki is a place where anyone can edit, improve and expand the Lazarus documentation.

New to Wikis? No problem. See the WikiPedia Tutorial. A Sand Box is available for new Wiki users to practise in before editing real content.

If you have any Wiki-related problems, leave a note or suggestion on the Site Feedback page or make a post in this Forum.

Wiki Portals

Wiki Portals have been created for a selection of the platforms and topics that Free Pascal and Lazarus support. The Portals gather together all the related information for the particular platform or topic in one place to make it easier to locate. The full list of supported platforms may be found here.

In the News

Projects using Free Pascal and Lazarus

Bug Tracker

The Lazarus Bug Tracker and the Free Pascal Bug Tracker are the places to go to check if the anomaly you have encountered has already been recorded as a Free Pascal Compiler or Lazarus IDE bug and, if not, you can lodge a bug report (see How do I create a bug report) so that it can be fixed. Even better, lodge a patch if you can (see Creating A Patch) with the bug report.
