3	3		Lazarus requires Qt under Haiku. Qt is not installed by default under Haiku. You need to install package available from [this site](http://qt-haiku.ru/). Currently, there is no binary package to install Lazarus. You will have to compile Lazarus from sources.

5	5		## Installing from sources

7	7		### Building Qt under Haiku
8	8
9	9		Instructions are available there : <http://qt-haiku.ru/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=67>
10	10
11	11		Building Qt is not required. You can just download lastest binaries at <http://www.qt-haiku.ru/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=60> and uncompress them to /boot/.
12	12
13	13		In order to compile the Qt4 binding below, you should get the development package.
14	14
15	15		### Building Qt4 binding for Free Pascal under Haiku
16	16
17	17		Download the source from <http://users.telenet.be/Jan.Van.hijfte/qtforfpc/fpcqt4.html>. The current binding is "V2.5 (Qt 4.5.X, compatible till Qt 4.8.X)". Choose the entry "Library source" under Linux X11.
18	18
19	19		You need to add QMAKE_CXXFLAGS to Qt4Pas.pro before build libQt4Pas:
20	20
21	21		QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -mstackrealign -mincoming-stack-boundary=2
22	22
23	23		On previous versions (at least 2.1), it was necessary to edit some files before compiling the package under Haiku :
24	24
25		-	~~`In Qt4Pas.pro, change the supported version according to the version of Qt you have downloaded (It also works with Qt 4.8.0).`\~~
26		-	~~`Then, add ":!Haiku" at line 50 inside Qt4Pas.pro :`\~~
27		-	~~` unix:!embedded:!mac``:!haiku``:PLATFORM = BINUX`~~
	25	+	```text
	26	+	In Qt4Pas.pro, change the supported version according to the version of Qt you have downloaded (It also works with Qt 4.8.0).
	27	+	Then, add ":!Haiku" at line 50 inside Qt4Pas.pro :
	28	+	unix:!embedded:!mac:!haiku:PLATFORM = BINUX
	29	+	```
28	30
29	31		Finally, run :
30	32
31		-	~~`qmake`\~~
32		-	~~`make`\~~
33		-	~~`make install`~~
	33	+	```text
	34	+	qmake
	35	+	make
	36	+	make install
	37	+	```
34	38
35	39		You should have libQt4Pas.so in /boot/common/lib/. The last step is to add a link to this library in /boot/develop/abi/c86/gcc4/lib.
36	40
37	41		More information about this binding is available here : [[Qt4 binding]]
38	42
39	43		### Building Lazarus under Haiku
40	44
41	45		#### Required tools
42	46
43	47		fpc 2.4.0 for Haiku is not suitable to build Lazarus. Some bugs were fixed while porting Lazarus to Haiku.
44	48
45	49		The 2.4 fix branch or trunk should compile Lazarus.
46	50
47	51		Current official version (2.6.0) is able to compile Lazarus. Binaries for Haiku are available at : <http://freepascal.org/down/i386/haiku.var>.
48	52
49	53		#### Getting sources
50	54
51	55		As usual :
52	56
53		-	~~`svn co `[`http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk`](http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk)` lazarus`~~
	57	+	```text
	58	+	svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
	59	+	```
54	60
55	61		#### Compiling Lazarus
56	62
57	63		Once you have a good enough compiler and the source tree, just run at the root of the source tree
58	64
59	65		Make sure gcc 4 is the default compiler.
60	66
61	67		Under Haiku with package management :
62	68
63		-	~~`setarch x86`~~
	69	+	```text
	70	+	setarch x86
	71	+	```
64	72
65	73		On older versions of Haiku, use :
66	74
67		-	~~` setgcc gcc4`~~
	75	+	```text
	76	+	setgcc gcc4
	77	+	```
68	78
69	79		then :
70	80
71		-	~~`make LCL_PLATFORM=qt`~~
	81	+	```text
	82	+	make LCL_PLATFORM=qt
	83	+	```
