After waiting 1.5 yrs for Kylix, I find that it's unobtainable, so I want to check out Lazarus. Maybe I can find some way to contribute.

I don't have an RPM-based system, so I was searching for the sources of the 1.0.5 compiler. It was very confusing because there are no version numbers on the source files. rpm2tgz seems to be no longer around, so I fear that it had problems. My system had RPM installed at one time, but I had to remove it in order to compile KDE.

So I'm wondering how to go about finding some normal tar.gz source files for the 1.0.5 thing and how to know what all files constitute the complete source.

Thanks in advance.
Neil.

1.0.5 is a development version (1.0.4 is the last release), which fixes some bugs crucial for Lazarus.

Daily 1.0.5 sources (though those are probably newer than the ones commonly used by Lazarus) are obtainable from
ftp.freepascal.org:/pub/fpc/source/fpc10.zip

To compile these you only need a 1.0.4 release compiler (or a 1.0.5). FPC compilers are static, so that binary is not linux specific.

FreeBSD compilers can be made using the same way starting from a FreeBSD native release or 1.0.5 compiler, OR a linux compiler if linux compability is enabled (default), though you need to stop at the linking stage then, and link by hand (using ppas.sh)
