Did you install Free Pascal fpc and fpc source? Please include your operating system when asking a question.

I had some issues with my Windows Defender, Smart screen which I have turned off but it's on anyways. it kept fighting me all the way while getting it to install but this was the 64 bit release.

 The 32 bit release I had no issues.

 Is the 64 bit Lazarus release now a 64 bit binary?

Inno setup has a flag, so the installer will give an error if you try to install on a 32 bit system. This flag has been enabled for the 64bit installer. Though I am not sure if that was merged to 2.0.x or if it is trunk only.

Otherwise the installer should still be the same (as previous 2.0.x). Compared to much older installers the version of inno setup was also updated. (not sure when exactly).

What are the exact issues?
Inno setup should
- extract all files
- at the end run fpcmkcfg.exe to create your fpc.cfg

Obviously the compiled files differ. Different bit patterns that could (falsely) match a virus sig.

Hi

Lazarus 2.0.4-1.1 for x86_64 just arrived as rpm with a Suse Tumbleweed update.

Thanx to the Lazarus team!

On the Mac, it is important to install FPC 3.0.4a (as it is also available in the download section) first. Then it works like a charm.

Hi everybody !

I've been trying to migrate from Lazarus 1.8.5 to a newer one for a while, but I still have some minor issues. Today, for example, I tried 2.0.5, which worked fine until a report was printed. The application did nothing here without any error message. In the editor, a preview window of FortesReport CE indicates an Access violation error. Can anyone tell me that Lazarus 2.0.5 Linux 64bit is really a problem with FortesReport CE ? The FortesReport CE was installed from OPM.

Xubuntu 18.0.4 LTS 64bit, FPC 3.0.5, Lazarus 2.0.5 64bit installed with FpcUpDelux (FPC Fixes 3, Lazarus Fixes 2).

I just want to say thanks for fixing the "create directory" bug when working with root directories. It was quite an annoyance

I really appreciate the great work! Please keep going on!

Thanks

I think it's because the installer now installs/removes openssl libraries to the system32 folder. Installing it to lazarus' folder instead may clear pass the anti-virus heuristics.

I have rediscovered Lazarus and fpc lastly. You are doing a  fantastic job. I am using Lazarus on à Windows 7-64 virtual machine (VirtualBox on a Mac), so that I have no problem with the debugger. It's a perfect match.
I have ben using Delphi since its inception until it became really to expensive for my needs, now I would I have switched years before.
Thank you guys, in brief.

You can setup the Lazarus for Mac to use lldb. This should work out of the box. It will be a bit slower though.

lldb comes with the Apple developer tools. So it should be on your system, and it should be code signed by Apple itself.

Perhaps if I can finally to use the lhelp... copy function not working long time ago on selected text... I got a full text on the page. Win 7 x64.

Lazarus Fixes branch via fpcupdeluxe + built in help system checked.

I think I had fixed copying from IproPanel to the clipboard a long time ago. Obviously some issues slipped through...
