The "Odyssey" of a programmer to Lazarus and Ubuntu Linux (Part 2)
===============================================================

------------Install Tools/Libraries-----------------------
open a "terminal" and execute:
1) “sudo apt-get update”
2) “sudo apt-get install alien”
3) "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev"
4) "sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf-dev"
5) "sudo apt-get install libgpmg1-dev"

------------Download Lazarus 32 Snapshots-----------------
from "http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/" with Firefox
  1)lazarus-0.9.25-xxxxxxxx.i386.rpm
  2)fpc-2.2.2-xxxxxxxx.i386.rpm
  3)fpc-src-2.2.2-xxxxxxxx.i386.rpm
For sample:
  lazarus-0.9.25-20080814.i386.rpm
  fpc-2.2.2-20080814.i386.rpm
  fpc-src-2.2.2-20080814.i386.rpm
and save these files to "/home" folder

------------Build “deb” files-----------------------------
open a terminal at /Home directory and execute
“sudo alien -c fpc-2.2.2*.rpm” (to build fpc-2.2.2-20080814_i386.deb)
“sudo alien -c fpc-src*.rpm” (to build fpc-
src-2.2.2-20080814_i386.deb)
“sudo alien -c lazarus*.rpm” (to build
lazarus-0.9.25-20080814_i386.deb)

yes,this takes long time....

------------install 3 new deb files ----------------------
open "Nautilus" and click on new deb files
1) fpc-2.2.2-20080814_i386.deb      (to Install)
2) fpc-src-2.2.2-20080814_i386.deb  (to Install)
3) lazarus-0.9.25-20080814_i386.deb (to Install)

after instalation

lazarus is at “/usr/lib/lazarus” directory
fpc is     at “/usr/lib/fpc/2.2.2” directory
fpc-src is at ”/usr/share/fpcsrc” directory

------------Rebuild Lazarus with GTK2 library ------------
Open Lazarus
"Applications>Programming>lazarus"

hit "ok" to Error Dialogs......

Set at Lazarus Menu>"Environment options/" "Files" page
Lazarus directory   : /usr/lib/lazarus/
Compiler Path       : /usr/bin/ppc386
FPC source directory: /usr/share/fpcsrc/

After Build

“Courier 10 Pitch” font ( I think is better now)

-----------Remove Lazarus/Fpc/Fpc-Source -------------------
If you want to remove all these
Open "System>Administrator>Synaptic Package Manager"
and Uncheck
fpc 2.2.2-xxxxxxxx
fpc-src 2.2.2-xxxxxxxx

Click “Apply” Button….
