Installing Lazarus on [K] Ubuntu 5.10

1. Download the Free Pascal Compiler:
http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/linux.html
http://www.freepascal.org/down/source/sources.html

2. Execute install script for FPC (use all defaults, installs to /usr/local)

3. Untar (tar -xvzf) the sources into /usr/local/src

4. Install (with "sudo apt-get install"):
build-essential
subversion
libglib1.2-dev
libgnome-dev
libgdk-pixbuf-dev

5. Get Lazarus with Subversion (SVN)
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
(from now on, change to lazarus directory and run "svn update")

6. Build (use only "make" to build with GTK1 widgetset)
make LCL_PLATFORM=gtk2

That's it. YMMV, of course.
