install. Here's the steps to create a Lazarus development machine: 1. Install Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop 2. Install FPC 2.4.0 (with Synaptic or apt-get install fpc) 3. Download FPC sources (I prefer the .tar.gz file) to $HOME 4. Uncompress them (tar -xvzf fpc-2.4.0.source.tar.gz) 5. Install SVN software (sudo apt-get install subversion) 6. Get Lazarus (svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus /trunk lazarus) 7. Build Lazarus with extra components (cd lazarus; make bigide) If you need database connectivity, I suggest you use Zeoslib instead of the bundled sqldb component. Zeos is very mature and stable, to install it on Lazarus there are some extra steps: 1. Get Zeos (svn checkout svn://zeos.firmos.at/zeos/trunk zeosdbo) 2. Install Zeos (open zcomponent.lpk from Components/Open Package) We also use Synapse library and ACBr components, both from SVN.
