How to get started on Linux
mschnell:
I plan to port a project from Delphi/Windows to Linux using Lazarus.
In the Borland Kylix forum and on other resources I found encouraging messages about Lazarus now standing up from the dead and getting up to speed as a recue for the frustated kylix users.
I d/l ed the Windows Binary and did a small test which was encouraging.
OTOH I see that the latest binary for Lazarus/Linux is exacty one year old.
Is Lazarus sleeping since then or is there a more advanced source code version I should uinstall ?

You did it the right way, first see the windows version and then the linux version. If you do it the other way around, you might end up disapointed.

No, not sleeping at all. See for the latest downloads at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339.
The latest version is available via cvs: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=StaticPage&file=index&sURL=cvs
HTH,
Vincent.

Thanks. I found the new versions on sourceforge. It's quite misleading that on lazarus.org we see the old versions under "download".
I d/l ed the windows binary and installed it.
Unfurtunately that did not work. When executing the setup.exe I get "source file corrupted" with two files.
Nonetheless Lazarus does start and identifies as "0.9.1 beta"
I can compile my (multi-thread-) testing progect.
But whan I start it it I get nothinig but a (German) windows error window "Project1 illegal request" .
I can't set any breakpoints, either. With the 0.9.0 version I got breakpoint indicators, but the program did not break whan reaching one. With the 0.9.1 version I even don't get indicators.
Using the 0.9.0.1 version from the Lazarus web site this project did run fine.
Anything I can do

We aware of this one thanks. The down and dirty is to write down the names of the two files and then go pull them from the webcvs of the fpc source. Sourceforge corrupted the file. Hopefully we can get a new version uploaded soon.
