Hello fellow programmers,
I have used Micro$oft Windows XP Home Edition with the latest service packs installed -- however, I was never very happy with it. Over the last few days I have successfully installed Linux UBUNTU and updated it with all available updates.
I have download Free Pascal 2.0.4 from the Australian server, however, it would seem that I'm not smart enough to work out how to install it.
-----
Do you want to run "install.sh", or display its contents?
"install.sh" is an executable text file.
4 buttons appear next:
[Run in Terminal] [Display] [Cancel] [Run]
-----
Selecting "Run in Terminal" opens a terminal window with the following:
This shell script will attempt to install the Free Pascal Compiler
version 2.0.4 with the items you select
Install prefix (/usr or /usr/local) [/home/pew/fpc-2.0.4] :
-----
What happens is that at the Install prompt, regardless of whether I type in "/home/pew/fpc-2.0.4" or just press the <ENTER> key, the script closes.
I have checked and the "fpc-2.0.4" has been created however it is empty.
:?: :?: :?:
------
Also from the research that I have done today only, I think that I would like to install "Lazarus" because I want to have a Delphi-Like IDE to work with.
Can someone please please please help me to understand how I can install Free Pascal 2.0.4 (which I have already downloaded) and also how I can install "Lazarus".
I'm sure that other ppl would benifit from these instructions.
