Revision as of 01:47, 15 January 2019
Hi, I'm David, Davo or DBannon, as you like.
A new Lazarus user in 2017, I once used Delphi One and Two, long long ago, in a universe far away !
I use this page to 'bookmark' some pages I keep referring back to but always have problems finding.

Installing
I'd like to make some changes to how the FPC/Lazarus install process is described on the Wiki. Its inconsistent and not very user focused in some places. See
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus is quite comprohesive but dated in parts and a bit inconsisten in a number of ways. It infers near the top its only going to talk about a developers intall but then gives possibly the clearest default (user) binary install of FPC/FPC-SRC/Lazarus under heading of FPC Install. It deals with some complicated install modes with explaining to a new user what the different options are.
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus#Download_and_install_Lazarus_release_version - is sort of presented as a binary install page but does then has a discussion on how to build from src but has a link to what it describes as a better page. .
Get your binaries from here - sourceforge ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/releases/
Types of install
* Binaries, every thing in predefined, read only access. * From SourceForge, newest release, reliable * From Your Package Distrubuter, easy install, risks ....
* Src, everything installed in your user space, write access. * Trunk, careful.... * A release, safer but not newest possible.
