1. Installing on openSUSE Installing Lazarus 0.9.30. For openSUSE 11.1 users

Free Pascal Compiler requires: - Gnu binutils (gnu as, gnu ld, gnu make) These utils can be installed by:

zypper in -t pattern devel_basis

Lazarus also requires these components:

1) glib2 devel

2) gtk2 devel

Important: The lazarus rpm requires the gtk 2 version, not the version 1.2.

These libraries can be installed by:

zypper -n install gtk2 glib2

Download these binary files (RPM) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/

(or http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/)

     fpc-2.4.2-0.i686.rpm (yes i686 and not i386)        

     fpc-src-2.4.2-0.i686.rpm

     lazarus-0.9.30-0.i686.rpm

install them opening a terminal session (mouse's right button -> Menu: Open in terminal)

rpm -Uvh fpc-2.4.2-0.i686.rpm

rpm -Uvh fpc-src-2.4.2-0.i686.

rpm rpm -Uvh lazarus-0.9.30-0.i686.rpm

2. Create fpc.cfg automatically

You can try to create fpc.cfg via a tool:

rem Change to the FPC executable directory, adjust to taste cd /d C:\freepascal\fpc\2.4.5\bin\i386-win32 rem Create fpc.cfg; basepath is the "root" of your fpc tree:

fpcmkcfg -d basepath=C:\freepascal\fpc\2.4.5 -o .\fpc.cfg
