I have just created a VMWare virtual machine on my Win7 PC and installed Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon in order to do some pascal development. I really do not want to build either fpc or lazarus myself, I just want to use the released versions. So is there a release 3.0 version available for Linux Mint 17 via apt-get? And if so what would be the correct command to get it?
No, none officially exists. There is a very old one, but it is not maintained. I believe fpc 3.0 is in debian experimental, but it would be a very bad idea to use that in linux mint. There is a command-line installer on the ftp site for fpc, after that you should build lazarus itself. As it happens, I am currently writing an article on how to install lazarus on Linux mint 17.3 from zero. It does describe compiling lazarus. I can send it to you when it is finished.
