Hi all,
I istalled Linux Ubuntu 7.10 (bello!!).
The system don't have a
working modem, so can't use aptitude or similar to update. I'm new in
Linux and need help to install FPC/lazarus without packages. Each
suggestion will be appreciate
TIA,
Salvatore

You need the packages
libgdk-pixbuf-dev (>=0.17.0) and libgtk1.2-dev
plus their dependencies.

I don't know if these things are already on the ubuntu CD, but I guess they are on the dvd.

I was in your same situation and solved the problem with Ubuntu+:

In this CD you can find all that is required to install Lazarus (gtk widgets) without connecting to the repositories.

Without a modem you are a bit stuck. Your best bet might be to look for a Freedom Toaster (http://freedomtoaster.org) near you. Alternatively ask a friend to download the required packages.

The problem is that you could compile Lazarus on another computer and copy over the executable, but you will still not be able to compile and link any LCL applications on your own computer. The *-devel packages are required for that.

I sometimes use MSEide like described above. In a pinch, I can use the MSEide executable (because it ships in binary format) as a fancy editor, but to link a new project you still require the *-devel packages.

Hello,

I am having trouble installing Lazarus under ubuntu.

After installing the main package I get a string of package dependencies.

Is there an easy way to pull down all the required packages automatically ?

I tried doing them manually in synaptic but it got to complex and eventually didn't work...

Is there a simple way ? (of installing lazarus)

Thanks in advance...
