Rather it is an instruction on how to build an installation package for the same platform. Used in order to *distribute* Fpc/Lazarus to other users mainly. Big difference and much more work than needed.... If you want to install Fpc/Lazarus in order to use it yourself and update them going forward then the much simpler way to go is to: - Check out sources from svn (also done in the instructions) - Install the build essentials and dependencies via apt - Get the seed compiler (needed only once on any given system) - Use the make command in the source dirs to build - Use the make command in the source dirs to install in your system - Create the desktop entry for starting Lazarus All of this can be done in a fairly small script which gives you an upgradable installation based on svn updates. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
