Install Lazarus - Ubuntu 7.10 - FPC Source not found

[Marion]

It works! It works!

Thanks to this wiki http://wiki.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus I was able to use their repository to get Lazarus installed and working!

Why can't Lazarus do this?

????
The Freepascal wiki and the Lazarus wiki are the same wiki, so what can't Lazarus do ?

I have installed Ubuntu 7.10 and then installed Lazarus via repository.

But that was 0.9.22 and it was old (on windows I use 0.9.24.1).

So I have downloaded 0.9.24 deb version and I have installed and everything started to work, but I have some issues and some bugs with this version and I notice that this is 0.9.24 beta.

Now I am searching some new version for ubuntu maybe 0.9.25 but there is no such thing in download section.

Can some one point me how to compile Lazarus from source.

Ok I have managed to compile from source.

Copy source to /usr/share/lazarus/

and then
make > /dev/null

so far so good.
