Lazarus & Michell Computing

[feverish]

According to various wikis, late last year Michell Computing (www.michellcomputing.co.uk) wrote a page or so on how to install Lazarus on the Raspi. www.michellcomputing.co.uk no longer seems to exist. Any clues as to where they might be now, please, Google does not seem to know?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install lazarus

Will install version 0.9.. something Version 1.06 or something is the latest and has to be done manually searching google resulted in

Code: Select all

site:raspberrypi.org/phpbb3 Lazarus

And this thread I believe has the manual instructions.

Thanks, but, unfortunately . . .
The first reference has a report of my own in it detailing (I hope with sufficient clarity) current failure mechanisms when using svn...tags . ..., and the second refers to the outdated version of Lazarus that also fails due to version 2.6.0 of fpc removing support for various units.

Back to square one . . . woe is me, and lack-a-day !

Hello,

I'm Paul Michell of Michell Computing. I've just come across this post! My blog is still online.
I think there was a period a while ago when the Wordpress links on the site were broken.
I have a few posts about using Free Pascal and Lazarus on the Raspberry Pi.

Please note that the build instructions given in the first article no longer work on current Raspbian.

Many thanks for that. Hopefully on its way to remote Central America from the USA will soon be a Raspi 2, when ladyada gets a new delivery. I'll try to install the latest Lazarus on that. As I am world champion at making Raspi fail to do things I want it to, I may be back . . . Hopefully, the move from Raspi using ARM6 to ARM7 will be without incident
