Hello,
For those who are under Ubuntu, I also post a feedback, on the recent successful installation of Lazarus under Linux\Wine (being under Ubuntu 18.04, this should allow me to test code written under Lazarus\debian\Ubuntu, not working properly, once cross-compiled for Win64 and copied in the /home/.wine/drive_c/test_appli directory), like this:
- download of the latest version for Win64 (currently lazarus-2.0.2.2-fpc-3.0.0.4-win64.exe).
- installation of PlayOnLinux from Ubuntu's software library for GNOME: globally, this program creates Wine containers by copying a .Wine directory specifically for each application that is asked to be installed. It allows you to partition each installation into a virtual Wine, each with its registry, dlls, etc (AFAIK): it looks like multiplexed installations of couples of [Wine + an application], a bit like Snap, but for Wine.
- then, you have to tell PlayOnLinux that you are installing a custom program; you tell how the drive_c subdirectory will be called (I answered "Lazarus"); then, you have to go and choose where the installer's location is; the installation starts; finally, we can create shortcuts (towards Lazarus.exe , uninstalxxxx.exe, etc).
- Lazarus launches well under Wine, and compiles
