Ubuntu is not supported either. The core Linux distribution is the .tar.gz distribution agnostic one, the distribution specific building is 3rd party (though FPC core does Redhat RPM and Debian .deb), but only when downloaded from the actual FPC site. if you obtain FPC or Lazarus packages elsewhere, you need to ask that "elsewhere" for packaging related support. > Are you seriously trying to tell me that the FPC Team does not answer > questions about Ubuntu packaging, which is after all the biggest Linux > distribution.

It helps if you have the right hole in the first place, otherwise the whole process is futile. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
