[SOLVED] Re: [fpc-pascal] Basic instructions for quick start of free basic setup with subversion.

[Peter E Williams]

Hi Marcos,

I am up to the point of using the file:

fpc-2.4.2.i386.linux.tar

your instructions are for a .tar.gz file not a .tar file

your instructions read

su
password: xxxxxx
// I will amend
// cp fpc-2.2.4.source.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
cp fpc-2.4.2.i386.linux.tar /usr/local/src/
cd /usr/local/src/

tar -xvzf fpc-2.4.2.i386.tar
// does not work because it expects a .tar.gz file not a .tar file
// one of the parameters needs to be changed.

// next line amended
rm fpc-2.4.2.i386.tar

exit

That is as far as I have gotten with my lazarus installation for Mint 10 Linux.

Windows Free Pascal and Lazarus install NOT attempted so far.

I will appreciate your feedback on this. It is only a small change and
I expect that Linux newbies like myself will appreciate the
corrections,

pew
