This guide will assist users in obtaining nightly build versions of Free Pascal Lazarus. It currently has sections for Microsoft Windows and Linux, and Macintosh.
The quickest and most straight forward way to setup Free Pascal and Lazarus is to use an automated installer. These automated installers will not interfere with other development envrionments you might already have on your computer.
To install: Download and run the Free Pascal and Lazarus nightly build installer.
This installer is built using Inno Setup. If you would like to build your own Windows installer, the inno setup script project is available on github here.
Windows Installer Notes
- The setup program is currently not signed by an authority
- It will therefore say publisher unknown, which is normal
To install: Open a terminal and type:
curl -L http://www.getlazarus.org/download/?platform=linux -o setup.sh
sh setup.sh
The Linux installer is a shell script which builds Free Pascal and Lazarus from nightly build sources. If you would like to view or suggest changes to the script, it's available on github here.
Linux Installer Notes
- The install folder defaults to $HOME/Development/FreePascal
- You can easily change this by editing the install script
To install: Open a terminal and type:
curl -L http://www.getlazarus.org/download/?platform=macintosh -o setup.sh
sh setup.sh
The Macintosh installer is a shell script which step you through setting up Free Pascal and Lazarus on Macintosh. It will automatically setup tools, such as xcode, which are needed when developing for Macintosh. If you would like to view or suggest changes to the script, it's [available on github here](https://github.com/syscurl http://www.getlazarus.org/download/?platform=macintoshrpl/Codebot.Setup/blob/master/macintosh/install.fpc-3.0.darwin.sh).
Macintosh Installer Notes
- The install folder defaults to $HOME/Development/FreePascal
