Install Lazarus in Linux Mint

[coradi]

Hallo,
if I try it, it says, t"Dependency is not satisfiable:fpc-laz(=3.2.2)
If I use the old version from application manager, then it works but there are missing sources!?!
With Windows there are no problems like this :-(

Now I have modified the path to
/usr/share/fpcsrc/3.2.2

And with ignoring I get
Kompiliere Package freetypelaz 1.0: Exit code 1, Fehler: 1
laz_avl_tree.pp(24,58) Fatal: Invalid PPU-File entry: 87

Hi @coradi
First remove all pkage  ( apt remove FPC* laz* )
Go to your home folder show hide file ( ctrl + h ) and delete folder ".Lazarus"
Open URL https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/Lazarus%203.2/ if your system 64bit or
URL  https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20i386%20DEB/Lazarus%203.2/ if your system 32bit
Download 3 file deb after download install this file

Sorry my English

Hi
Doing what nouzi said, the order of installation is:
1) fpc
2) fpc-src
3) lazarus

I too had tremendous problems to install FPC/Lazarus on Linux (Ubuntu) before I got to know *fpcupdeluxe*. I strongly recommend to use this tool to install FPC/Lazarus. One of it's *many* benefits is, that the complete installation is put in only *one* selectable destination folder. That means, that your installation is not scattered over uncountable system folders. This has big advantages, especially if you will have someday more than 1 different FPC/Lazarus versions parallel working. And the installation of cross-compilers is more easier.

Hi,

What version of Mint do you use?

64 or 32 bits?

I use Lazarus on multiple linux Mint P.C. and even netbook without problem (some are old: only 2 cores)

Don't use the Lazarus version on Mint repository, it is and old version.

if you already installed Lazarus from Mint repository

Uninstall it  with the "Software manager"

or

Uninstall it completely with "Synaptic Package Manager"

Search for "fpc", look what is installed (Green square), select  it with Right Click and  "Mark for Removal" then "Apply"
Do the same with "lazarus"

For the installation, I download the 3 packages from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/Lazarus%202.2.6/

I install the 3 packages in order:

fpc-laz_3.2.2-210709_amd64.deb // The compiler for 64 bits
fpc-src_3.2.2-210709_amd64.deb // The sources  for 64 bits
lazarus-project_2.2.6-0_amd64.deb // The IDE for 64 bits

By clicking on the .deb file you run the "Archive Manager" then "Install"
or in console:
sudo dpkg -i <package.deb>



After the first run, I install "anchordockingdsgn" from "Package->Install/Uninstall Packages" to have a pleasant environment.

And rebuild Lazarus IDE
