fail to install Lazarus 2.2.6 on KaOS Linux

[raerband]

I downloaded the tar file from sourceforge.
Extract it but there is nothing file/command to install it.
How to do?

Have you installed fpc before ? Nomal you can work with make. Is make available on your system ?

[marcov]

If the TAR is the source, you need a FPC install to compile FPC.

If the TAR is a binary distribution, there should be an install.sh script.

Yes, I installed FPC before.
I downloaded it from the official website freepascal.org. there is install.sh inside the FPC tar file. it looks like successfully installed.

There should be an install.sh script.

There is not install.sh file inside the Lazarus tar file.

What happens if you do

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. make bigide

in the lazarus dir ?

If that fails, paste the output of "make info"

If my limited French serves mer right, it seems you don't have adequate permissions in the lazarus dir. Needs a bit of chmod and chown'ing to match the read/write/execute permissions to your account

After sudo make bigide, below is the last screenshot

https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GTK2_Interface#Quick_start_guide_for_Linux.2C_FreeBSD.2C_etc

That is, assuming you run a gtk2 desktop or want to target gtk2 widgetset. I don't even know if the Lazarus build automatically detects the correct/default desktop interface.

After sudo make bigide

The Lazarus build does not require any elevated rights, unless you specifically tell it to install somewhere where those rights are required (but since the commandline only contains make ...).


edit: On second thought, nevermind all the above. You seem to be using a distribution that wants to do things in its own way, not adhering to any standard, does not want to rely on symlinks etc. I would suggest to read their manual on how you are suppose to setup their OS for development.

[dbannon]

Firstly, by running make as root, you will have left a whole pile of root owned files in your install directory. Always a bad thing. So, clean that up, possibly by blowing that directory away and unzipping (zip ? tar ? etc ) the source files again.

Then, find out why you don't have write permission  in your home directory, maybe thats the first thing to do ?

Thirdly, its appears Lazarus is trying to build a gtk2 version, probably a good choice, but you have not installed the dependencies, please see https://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_Linux#Build_Lazarus_from_Source especially the second   Note: Dependencies. But don't even think about that step until you have solved that write in your own dir issue and cleaned up the root files one way or another.
