But the cleaner page does highlight what a lot of old, outdated and even inappropriate stuff is still there. I have on some other pages created a "Legacy" section to keep useful but outdated content, that way, a new user knows when to stop reading and the page does not appear so neglected. Maybe we need that here. I propose that this page be stripped down to just a short overview and index to other operating specific pages. |

| − | BTW: To the maintainer of TPanel, TCustomPanel, with the VCL, if I set the Borderwidth to 2 (ex.), the caption of the panel is moved that far away from the border (at least in Delphi 6), so it becomes more readable, this can easily be done in the LCL by adding another inflateRect(...,-BorderWidth,-BorderWidth) just before the Textout(...) that does the caption, but as I do not know yet how to add this to the offical LCL source codes, I just put it here.

| − | This is my version how I successfully installed Lazarus on Debian.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Installing FPC:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Download fpc-1.9.x.i386.tar (in my case x was 4) and unpack the archive. Go into the folder in which you had unpacked FPC and type (as root if needed) "./sh install.sh". Follow the instructions of the script (I simply install all packages). You have now successfully installed FPC.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Installing gtk+:
| |
| − | type as root:
| |
| − | "apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev" this will install gtk+.
| |
| − | then install gdk-pixbuf with the command:
| |
| − | "apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf-dev"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Installing Lazarus:
| |
| − | | |
| − | First download lazarus-040529.tgz (or a file with a newer version number) and unpack the archive. Go to the folder with the unpacked files and enter "make clean all" (you do not need to be root). Compiling will need a good minute on a 1GHZ PC. If all works well you can start lazarus with ./lazarus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you get errors at the end of the compiling, possibly you have not all needed packages installed. Try to find out how to install the missing packages and try to compile again. At my first try libgtk1.2-dev was missing, at the second try it was libgdk-pixbuf-dev, the third try successfully build Lazarus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wine:
| |
| − | | |
| − | If this was too difficult to you, you could try out the Windows version of Lazarus with wine. It works (without a Windows installation), I've wrote and started a "Hello World" program within three minutes after downloading the Windows version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Happy programming :-)

| − | Installing on debian
| |
| − | | |
| − | In fact, it seems that the current CVS is ready for building a debian package.
| |
| − | | |
| − | => dowload lazarus.zip , unzip it, cd to the directory lazarus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Verify that the fpc-* packages are installed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now
| |
| − | | |
| − | chmod +x debian/rules
| |
| − | touch fpcdebug.txt
| |
| − | dpkg-buildpackage
| |
| − | | |
| − | You should now get a package lazarus_0.9.1beta-0_i386.deb
| |
| − | | |
| − | Verify that the package tct is NOT installed (it has a /usr/bin/lazarus file !)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now, dpkg -i ../lazarus_0.9.1beta-0_i386.deb should install the package.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hope this helps.

| − | Installing on Slackware 10.0
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1) Download the rpm version of the required binaries, eg:
| |
| − | | |
| − | fpc-1.9.5-040808.i386.rpm
| |
| − | fpcsrc-1.9.5-040808.i386.rpm
| |
| − | lazarus-0.9.2.2-fpc_1.9.5_041001.i386.rpm
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) Convert the 'rpm' files to Slackware 'tgz' format using
| |
| − | | |
| − | the rpm2tgz utility (usually installed as standard):
| |
| − | rpm2tgz fpc-1.9.5-040808.i386.rpm
| |
| − | rpm2tgz fpcsrc-1.9.5-040808.i386.rpm
| |
| − | rpm2tgz lazarus-0.9.2.2-fpc_1.9.5_041001.i386.rpm
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Rename the resulting 'tgz' files as follows in order
| |
| − | | |
| − | to satisfy Slackware package manager naming convention:
| |
| − | fpc-1.9.5.040808-i386.tgz
| |
| − | fpcsrc-1.9.5.040808-i386.tgz
| |
| − | lazarus-0.9.2.2fpc195.041001-i386.tgz
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4) Install all 3 using the 'installpkg' utility.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Enjoy! :)
| |
| − | | |
| − | NOTE: To uninstall 'lazarus' use the removepkg utility
| |
| − | (dunno why anyone would want to un-install it!)

| − | Install Lazarus 0.9.4 on Mandrake 10.1
| |
| − | | |
| − | Do the following steps to install your Lazarus Integrated Development
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tool, with the Free Pascal Compler.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I am a novice linux user. I find it so difficult to install or upgrade
| |
| − | | |
| − | software on linux. This time I finally succeeded upgrading lazarus to
| |
| − | the 0.9.4 version (3 jan 2005 version) and I hope that this sumary could
| |
| − | be usefull for other novice users.
| |
| − | | |
| − | IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are more than 6 month experienced with linux or
| |
| − | lazarus or if you do not use linux Mandrake version 10.1 then STOP
| |
| − | READING NOW.
| |
| − | | |
| − | SECOND IMPORTANT NOTICE: Keep in mind that this was written by someone
| |
| − | who knows next to nothing! If anything is wrong then I deeply apologize.
| |
| − | The purpose of this note is to help the user that has tried everything
| |
| − | else and is stalled. I have used the procedure on 3 computers and it
| |
| − | works.
| |
| − | | |
| − | System: linux "Mandrake 10.1 Official" on a Pentium III (or II) type
| |
| − | computer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lazarus: Version 0.9.4 (built: 3 january 2005).
| |
| − | | |
| − | FPC: Version 1.9.6 (built: 2 january 2005).
| |
| − | | |
| − | File names:
| |
| − | | |
| − | File_1 = "fpc-1.0.10i386.tar" from:
| |
| − | http://www.freepascal.org/down-linux-1386.html
| |
| − | | |
| − | File_2 = "fpc-1.9.6-050102.i386-linux.tar" from:
| |
| − | http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org
| |
| − | then follow the links: "binaries" / "linux" / "Current Lazarus Binary
| |
| − | RPM"
| |
| − | | |
| − | File_3 = "lazarus-050103.tgz" (from the lazarus site)
| |
| − | | |
| − | System modules: Lazarus uses the GTK+ library (version 1 only, not
| |
| − | version2). Go the "Mandrake Control Center" and install the modules:
| |
| − | | |
| − | libgdk-pixbuf-xlib2-0.22.0-5mdk
| |
| − | libgdk-pixbuf2-devel-0.220.-5mdk
| |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are 3 steps:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Step A - Install the stable compiler (V1.0.10)
| |
| − | Step B - Install the current compiler (V1.9.6)
| |
| − | Step C - Install the Integrated Development Environment (Lazarus)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Step A - Install the stable compiler (FPC Version 1.0.10)
| |
| − | | |
| − | In order to compile the compiler, you need a compiler! We use the
| |
| − | | |
| − | "stable compiler", (Free Pascal Compiler version 1.0.10) for that. It
| |
| − | used to be included on the "Mandrake Install disk" but I did not find it
| |
| − | in the Mandrake 10.1 distribution! However, it is available on the web
| |
| − | (see the address above):
| |
| − | | |
| − | A.1- In user mode ("myself") type:
| |
| − | mkdir /home/myself/freepascal/V1.0.10
| |
| − | A.2- copy File_1 to /home/myself/freepascal/V1.0.10
| |
| − | A.3- type: tar -xvf File_1 (of course you type the actual file name
| |
| − | given above)
| |
| − | A.4- type: cd fpc
| |
| − | A.5- go to the superuser mode (type: "su" then your password)
| |
| − | A.6- type: sh install.sh
| |
| − | A.7- you want to install it in the [/usr/local folder] then just press:
| |
| − | return
| |
| − | A.8- anwser "Y" to all the 11 questions, and answer "return" to the last
| |
| − | question.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At this point you shoud have the first "stable" compiler installed! It
| |
| − | will be used to compile the "current" compiler: The command: "fpc" shows
| |
| − | a help message that shows the "1.0.10" version number. Also, check that
| |
| − | now you have the folder:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.0.10/
| |
| − | | |
| − | Step B - Install the current compiler (FPC Version 1.9.6)
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | This is very similar to the previous section:
| |
| − | | |
| − | B.1- In user mode ("myself") type: mkdir /home/myself/freepascal/V1.9.6
| |
| − | B.2- move File_2 to: /home/myself/freepascal/V1.9.6
| |
| − | B.3- type: tar -xvf File_2 (actual name given above)
| |
| − | B.4- type: cd fpc
| |
| − | B.5- go to the superuser mode ("su")
| |
| − | B.6- type: sh install.shl (takes about 10 minutes)
| |
| − | B.7- anwser "Y" to all the 12 questions, and answer "return" to the last
| |
| − | question.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At this point check that you have a directory:
| |
| − | | |
| − | /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/i386-linux/
| |
| − | | |
| − | filled with the libraries. There are all sort of folders in there. Now
| |
| − | check that the file fpc.cfg has the lines:
| |
| − | | |
| − | -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/$fpctarget
| |
| − | -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/$fpctarget/*
| |
| − | -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/$fpctarget/rlt
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that you see the word: $fpctarget NOT $target.
| |
| − | Note that you see: 1.9.6 NOT 1.0.10.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the lines do not match then edit and change the file. Use any editor
| |
| − | you like of course. In VI (type: "vim") you type:
| |
| − | | |
| − | B.7.a - "I" to go to the "insert" mode
| |
| − | B.7.b - type in your lines as shown above
| |
| − | B.7.c - press "ESCAPE" to go back to the command mode
| |
| − | B.7.d - type ":wq" to save and exit. (":q!" exit without save!)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The last "trick" is to check (and change, if necessary) that the
| |
| − | symbolic link "ppc386" points to the good compiler. Type:
| |
| − | | |
| − | B.8.a- cd /usr/local/bin
| |
| − | B.8.b- ls -al
| |
| − | | |
| − | The displayed line should show:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ppc386 --> /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.6/ppc386
| |
| − | | |
| − | If if does, then skip to step B9, otherwise type :
| |
| − | | |
| − | B.8.c- rm ppc386 (then "y")
| |
| − | B.8.d- type: ln -s /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.6/ppc386
| |
| − | | |
| − | B.9 - Go back to the user mode (type: "exit").
| |
| − | B.10- type: fpc
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wonderfull! Now you see from the help message that you have the version
| |
| − | 1.9.6 compiler. The last step is to load the IDE.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Step C - Install the Integrated Development Environment (Lazarus)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Lazarus can installed in your own user account ("myself"). That can
| |
| − | | |
| − | be done in the user mode:
| |
| − | | |
| − | C.1- type: cd ~
| |
| − | C.2- Copy File_3 to: /home/myself/
| |
| − | C.3- cd ~
| |
| − | C.4- tar -xvzf File_3 this will create the lazarus folder
| |
| − | C.5- cd lazarus
| |
| − | C.6- make clean all (takes about 10 minutes)
| |
| − | C.7- type: ./lazarus
| |
| − | | |
| − | This should bring up the IDE. The first time you run lazarus, you get an
| |
| − | error message about a bad "Free pascal Source Directory". Click:
| |
| − | "ignore", then go to the menu: "Enviromnment/Environment Options" and
| |
| − | set the "FPC source directory" to /usr/local/share/src/fpc-1.9.6/.
| |
| − | | |
| − | C.8- In order to check that the application is working properly, create
| |
| − | the simplest application. Just drag and drop a button on the form and
| |
| − | press F9.
| |
| − | | |
| − | C.9- Finally, create a shortcut icon on your desktop that executes
| |
| − | lazarus in the /home/myself/lazarus/ directory. Enjoy.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Finally, I would like to make a few comments:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − | - I do not know how to install the .rpm files. For that reason I always
| |
| − | use the .tar files. Most people commented to me that the RPM file is a
| |
| − | prefered method.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - There is a stable version 1.0.11 but there was no .tar file available
| |
| − | for this one. The version 1.10 is available and works well, so I used
| |
| − | it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - If you get an error message about some files "missing" this is because
| |
| − | you have not installed some modules. Instaling modules is an art (and a
| |
| − | hobby)! Try to install the followings modules. I do not know if they are
| |
| − | nessary but they were already installed on my system:
| |
| − | | |
| − | kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-12mdk
| |
| − | libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0-devel-2.4.9-9mdk
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Beware of the files "ppc386" "ppc396.cfg" "fpc.cfg" "fpc" when your
| |
| − | instalation fails. After a while, you see them everywhere. Some of them
| |
| − | are hidden sometimes! Remove all those files before you start the
| |
| − | instalation again. Only /etc/fpc.cfg and /user/lib/ppc386 are necessary.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - FPC can be installed in the cross-compiler (multi-platform) mode. The
| |
| − | file to use for that has the name structure "fpcsrc-...-.tar". I could
| |
| − | install it, but more difficult to install. In this this procedure
| |
| − | however, the "linux-only" file ("fpc-...-linux.tar") is very easy to
| |
| − | install.
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | I hope that this was not too pedantic and could be usefull to someone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I wish you a good luck.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sincerely
| |
