Then all you can do is download the ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/lazarus-0.9.29-xxxxx-yyyyyyyy-src.zip unzip it to somewhere (no matter where) and then (*if* you have already a working standalone FPC installed (which will on windows also provide you with make and the other needed tools in your path)) open a command line in this folder and make bigide this will give you lazarus.exe (or the lazarus executable on linux) directly at the base of this folder and you can run it directly from within this folder. The only pitfall is that Lazarus will later also want to see the FPC sources for code completion etc. to work. If you previously installed a binary installer of FPC you also have to download the same FPC version as source code archive and unzip it to somewhere. You don't need to compile FPC itself, you just need a folder with the FPC sources of the same version somewhere on your harddisk so Lazarus can lookup all the RTL and FCL units for its code completion features. After you started the freshly compiled Lazarus for the first time go to environment->options->files and set the following paths or make sure they are correct: * path to the lazarus folder (where you just unzipped and compiled Lazarus) * path to the fpc binary * path to the fpc source folder After this everything should work. And its basically the same procedure on other platforms too. First make sure you have a working FPC that can be used from the command line (pay attention to the version number it reports, in case you have experimented with multiple versions already on this machine) and that can compile a simple hello world program from the command line without errors and then proceed with the steps mentioned above and they should just work out of the box. If you have done it a few times it is really easy and loses all its perceived complexity.
