Hi all,
There are now RPMs for lazarus and fpc on the website.
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index
The lazarus RPM needs the FreePascal Compiler and its sources. Therefore you can also find RPMs for the compiler:
- fpc RPMs (the compiler binaries, fpc libs, packages, tools)
- fpcsrc RPMs (the complete fpc sources).
All three come in two flavours:
1. for fpc 1.0.7 from march 1, 2003
2. for fpc 1.1 from december 25, 2002
The fpc 1.0.7 is the stable version.
The fpc 1.1 is the unstable developer version, which contains a lot of new features like dynamic arrays, interfaces, more delphi compatibility, thread safe RTL, more supported OS, and many more. Keep in mind that it is not completely compatible to 1.0.x. For example the type checking is more strict and the 'Linux' unit now have the name 'Unix'.
The lazarus RPMs will probably be updated weekly.
Of course you can also install only the fpc RPMs and use the lazarus cvs version, which is recommended.
