No, no. Like any other app released on GitHub, go to "RELEASES" (https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases), find the latest release (Release v2.2.0q of fpcupdeluxe as of this moment), download an appropriate executable for your operation system (may need to press "Show all..."), most likely something like fpcupdeluxe-x86_64-win64.exe - and then run it as a program.
OK, so I have now done that and used it to install Lazarus 2.2.6 with FPC 3.2.2
Note: fpcupdeluxe also listed FPC
3.2.4 but that has not been released yet AFAIK so I did not select that version...
So far so good, I now have that pair of applications installed, but...
Some more Questions and observations:1. OnLine Packlage Manager?My usual procedure with new Lazarus installs is to use OnLine PackageManager to install additional packages, of which I keep a list to get the same basic config for all my Lazaruses.
However in this Lazarus it seems like OLPM is
not available!
It is normally the last item on Menu/Package.
Why is this missing?
Every time I have previously installed Lazarus from manually retrieved sources on Linux and using the combined installer from Sourceforge for Windows this menu item has
always been available and now it is not there!
Seems strange since it is always part of the Lazarus sources otherwise.
2. Where to locate custom packages?Also I usually check out a set of custom packages from our own SVN server into the pcp dir so it is kept with that version similar to what OnLine Package Manager does.
Will this not work here?
3. Adding older versions of Lazarus/Fpc?Where will a new install of an older version set be located if installed with fpcupdeluxe?
Say I would like Lazarus 2.0.12 + Fpc 3.0.4 as a second installation without mixing together with the one I just did, how is that accomplished?
I have noted that fpcupdeluxe did
not create a sub-directory below the top level install path for the install I did just now.
So do I understand it such that the path entered in the top left box as "Install path" has to be set by oneself to a unique name to indicate which version it contains?
I expected it to use the install path as a top level dir below which it would create a suitably named sub-directory to place the new install.
4. Rename install path?Given the above, can I now rename the install directory to a suitable name after the install has completed?
5. Uninstall the newly installed Lazarus/Fpc?How do I properly go about uninstalling what fpcupdeluxe has installed since I got the directory named wrong?
6. Cross compiler?How do I add a cross-compiler to an already installed Lazarus/Fpc?
