more Ubuntu+Lazarus

[Anonymous]

Finally good news from NOKVEDUX

I've got it !
I've installed Lararus

I had to use the lazarus files at:
http://www.de.freepascal.org/lazarus/

Othervise I always get an Error-message telling "MATTIAS is not a legal user".

And I believe this is also important:

apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf-dev
apt-get install binutils

..this information I found at:
http://users.skynet.be/yvesvanbelle/UbuntuTTT.html#How_to_install_Free_Pascal__Lazurus_on

I will paste in all of it here so we don't loose it:
------------------------------
 
Insallation of Lazarus in KUbuntu:

Download from the fpc*.i386.rpm, fpcsrc*.i386.rpm and lazarus*.i386.rpm from the Lazarus Sourceforge.net web site
 
First install alien. Alien allows you to convert LSB, Red Hat, Stampede and Slackware Packages into Debian packages, which can be installed with dpkg
 
   sudo apt-get install alien
 
Then use alien to convert the rpm packages to deb packages with the sudo alien -c rpmpackage.rpm command.
 
 Example:
   sudo alien -c fpc-2.0.1-050923.i386.rpm
   sudo alien -c fpcsrc-2.0.1-050923.i386.rpm
   sudo alien -c lazarus-0.9.10-0.i386.rpm
 
Lazarus depends on the development packages of the GTK and pixbuf libraries and the GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities. Install these dependecies by executing the instructions below:
 
   sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
   sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf-dev
   sudo apt-get install binutils
 
Now you can install the converted packages. cd to the directory where the converted packages are and execute:
 
   sudo dpkg -i *.deb
-----------------------------------
As you see, I "converted" to KUbuntu too. Just to try if that was better for Lazarus. But I admit I am longing back to the brown, soft and minimalistic style of Ubuntu. I believe that I can install Lazarus now in ubuntu 5.10. It's about time to get to work with programming in Lazarus. I hope you will not find me anymore in the "installation class" as an "asker". I think I've used more than 30 hours to get through this installation.

Still I have a little problem:
Can anyone tell me how to log in my username "nokvedux" in this forum.
The machine has never sendt me the code to my email.
I have tried to registrate several times, but I never get the kode in my email.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the World of Lazarus - What do you want to code today?(tm)
And yes, you should install Laz on Ubuntu with those same commands as you did on Kubuntu, since, as someone has already stated, those systems are exactly the same besides the graphical environment.

Cheers

Why don't you add this to the wiki? The wiki is located here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Installing_Lazarus
and here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Lazarus_Documentation

Answer to sekel
I will not add this to the Wiki because I have only installed the beta version of Lazarus. The "so called" stabile version I could not install and I don't understand why the installation stopped with error message "MATTIAS IS NOT A LEGAL USER". I am not called Mattias, but I think one of the guys in the Lazarus team is.

0.9.10 is the latest stable version =)

All versions of Lazarus are called Beta because it hasn't reached 1.0 version yet ^^, so you won't find a non-beta Lazarus.

Having said that, I think this instructions would be good on the Wiki =)

I have many friends witch use debian based system, and this could help them install Lazarus.

i know u devels dont have time to make packages for every OS, but the easiest way to install lazarus would be if someone would put up 1 or more deb/s for the current stable ubuntu version. i know i'm probably whistling in the wind. ubuntu is pretty popular these days

Rather than use dpkg or apt-get, If you are running Kubuntu, then it's much easier getting packages with the Kubuntu package manager "Adept". Ubuntu uses the "Synaptic" package manager. They both have a search function so its a breeze  :wink:   to install gtk and gdk stuff. It's also easy to see what you have installed. I got Lazarus going in Kubuntu in no time.
