Lazarus build for Haiku

Development
1

In the report of the 30th BeGeistert i red the quoted interesting thing:

“With his right hand, on his other laptop, Olivier worked on updating and
fixing FreePascal, Qt4Pas and Lazarus, getting them all to run again.
He is now looking for help to write recipes for these and get them
packaged and available in the Haiku Depot, opening a new way for people
to write Haiku apps without first learning C++.”

Is nobody out here who could help Olivier Coursière, to get a package for lazarus?

The install instructions on the freepascal wiki no longer works:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus_on_Haiku

Especialy this step should be adjusted to the new file system architecture:

“You should have libQt4Pas.so in /boot/common/lib/. The last step is to
add a link to this library in /boot/develop/abi/c86/gcc4/lib.”

I Think it would be nice, to have such a excellent IDE on Haiku again.

Thanks in advance!

If you want do the first step - installing freepascal 3.0 on Haiku - you could do that very easily without an hpkg.

Download from a place of your choice freepascal:

http://freepascal.org/down/i386/haiku.var

unzip where you want and start in a terminal “sh install.sh” accepting all defaults suggested. If you choose install IDE it would not be lazarus but a simple IDE according to Turbo Pascal from the late eighties:slight_smile:

But the hope is, to get a hpkg for lazarus in the future.
