Dear Sirs ,

Installing Lazarus port as "root" in FreeBSD 7 Stable ( 2008-06 ) is giving the following errors :

(1)

"pkg_add -vr lazarus" is working but not like "pkg_add -vr fpc" because after fpc install , when it is used as
# fpc
it is starting to work . Contrary to this ,
# lazarus
is NOT working ( saying "lazarus : Command not found. ) .

Then :

# cd /usr/ports/editors/lazarus
# make

During "make" ,
it is checking presence of "lazarus-0.9.24-0.tar.gz" and NOT finding it and downloading it , ...
it is checking presence of "fpc-2.2.0-source.tar.gz" and NOT finding it and downloading it , ...

After completion of "make" :

# ./lazarus
It is giving the following message :

"Free Pascal sources not found . Some code functions will not work . It is recommended that you install it and set path
Environment -> Environment Options -> Files "

# cd work
# cd docs
# cd html

In this directory ( "/usr/ports/editors//lazarus/work/docs/html/" ) application of "update_html.sh" is giving a number of errors :

cd : ../../lcl/interfaces/gtk/ : No such file or directory . cd : ../../lcl/ : No such file or directory .

In script , correcting "../../lc/" as "./lcl/" is not solving the problem , because other non-existent directories are listed after that with the other error including the message that "fpdoc : .. not found ." .

(2)

"make install" giving the following error :
"Error expanding embedded variable" .

(3)

Is it possible to give information in your web site "lazarus wiki" : "GETTING LAZARUS" page , a complete
installation information on FreeBSD , since information on Linux is NOT applicable to FreeBSD because
their lazarus and fpc directory structures seem to be very different ? A complete install script would be very useful .

(4)

In my opinion ,
lazarus.tbz on
"ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/" needs to be
restructured to resolve the above errors , and remove necessity of "make" steps .

Thank you very much ,
