Tried to figure this out but it was not so easy..
If I do this after getting the sources (trunk) from svn:
make clean bigide
then Lazarus builds OK and I can use it by running startlazarus
But there is also a command
make install
What exactly does this do (in a Debian Jessie derivative environment)
You can see this easily for yourself by adding the -n option:
home: >make -n install
It seems lazarus is added to the start menu, from the line:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 install/lazarus.desktop
/usr/local/share/applications/lazarus.desktop
I don't know whether that will be immediately reliable on all window
managers, i.e. whether the new entry will appear immediately or only
after a reboot.
See also xdg-desktop-menu and xdg-desktop-icon which should be included
with most distreaux and tailored for their peculiarities.
