Hi!
I'm newbie in Linux programming, but I have quite good experience in
Win 32 programming using Delphi. So that's why I want to try myself in
Linux programming. I have installed fpc 1.9.6 and compiled Lazarus
0.9.4 beta. I'm from Russia, so my locale settings are cp1251. After
Lazarus' compilation some window appears. But I can't read anything
except Envitonment -> etc. I guess, that Lazarus can't find fpc
directory. But other words are in strange codepage: like koi8 under
Windows (strange russian letters meaning nothing). Please help me to
set correct codepage.

If he is from Russia the letters wouldnot be strange, would they?

In Russia we have at least 2 frequently used codepages: KOI-8R and
WIN1251.  Generally in Linux it's KOI-8R, but in Windows and ASPLinux
- WIN1251. The default Lazarus codepage for Russian is KOI-8R and
sometimes it's a problem.

Maybe he actually is from Russia? Nah... why should we think he is?..

I solved my problem (with improper Polish charset) in Environment
settings -> Desktop. I had to save the setting to a file, but after
Laz restarted I could safely remove this file. AFAIR there is Russian
Cp1251 codepage in there.

Cheers
Mike

How come I didnot see that? Must have been either very early or very
late. Sorry about that.

Yes, I'm really from Russia  "Strange russian letters" mean something
like that "ЪШРОВНКФХЪЖД" I can't use Environment -> Desktop because I
can't read any menu caption  But using this limk
http://lazarus.by.ru/articles/install_lazarus.html I hope I can solve
my problem.
Thanks,
Voland
