All,

I just ordered my first all Ubuntu laptop and since I like Delphi I noticed Lazarus.

Can Lazarus run and are people using Lazarus on Ubuntu 12.10 and does it use Wine.

Thanks

George

Lazarus is a native application in Linux. You can choose the GTK(2) or Qt execution, but it's native, not a hack with wine or anything like that.

Hello George:

I'm using Lazarus on a PC running Ubuntu 12.04.

I had problems installing Lazarus using the Ubuntu Software Manager -- but you will find a good set of install instructions here. <http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=15432.0> (http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=15432.0)

Once you get it installed, it works great, and I had no problems moving my old Lazarus programs from windows to Linux.

Welcome George!
I installed only fpc via software manager (.deb) and lazarus happily via source (.snv) in home. You do not need wine, just write your code, compile and run.

Hi George, welcome to Lazarus!. You don't need Wine, with Lazarus you can create native Linux apps, and even Cross-Compile them from Linux to Windows without changes.

An easy way to install Lazarus for newcomers, is using CodeTyphon:

1) Download from:
http://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/codetyphon/codetyphon-download

2) Read the quick installation procedure:
http://www.pilotlogic.com/codetyphon/help/index.html?quick_installation_procedure.htm

BTW, I don't use CodeTyphon, but I find it great for new users. I prefer to get the sources using SVN then compile and install.

Regards,

Yes, Lazarus even supports Linux first before Windows. So no, no stupid emulation through Wine required. Everything is NATIVE. I use it on my Kubuntu 12.10.

And for that matter, I use it on SPARC, ARM and PPC, and occasionally on Solaris. Some people use FreeBSD, others OS X. So let's scotch that ugly rumour :-)
