Hi !
I'm wondering why there is no port for FreeBSD OS like for Linux.
Thanks

thanks ! I know that but there is no a complete installation package,
 i.e lazarus-1.2.6-fpc-2.6.4-freebsd[7,8,9,10].tbz as you do it for
windows and linux.

thanks

That one I mention is maintained in the FreeBSD ports tree, which
means it must conform to its specification as modular packages. Just
as if you install from Ubuntu's repository. I don't know the
maintainer of FreeBSD port of Lazarus, you might want to ask him/her,
so he/she can provide all-in-one package just like .deb/.rpm (not
really all-in-one, all-in-three actually) which someone in Lazarus
team maintains.

Hello.

You may use "AppCafe" to install Lazarus but it will install Lazarus
without FPC.

(see topic here =>
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,26204.0.html)

If you try to install fpc with > pkg install fpc => fpc will be
installed "nude", without any packages nor units...

Instead, you may download the freeBSD-fpc package here=>
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/FreeBSD/2.6.4/

And run the ./install.sh script.

Simply do what I have done since FreeBSD 9.0 - use the official FPC
release download (from SourceForge). It a console installer that works
on ALL platforms with great ease. Then install SubVersion or Git and
clone the Lazarus repository. Run 'make bidgide' and you have a
working FPC and Lazarus all setup. No more than a few minutes effort.
