Welcome to Lazarus
==================

Lazarus is a Rapid Application Development Tool for FreePascal.
It comes with the LCL - Lazarus component library, which contains platform
independent visual components like buttons, windows, checkbox, treeview and
many, many more. The LCL is platform independent, so you can write an
application once and then compile for various platforms without changing code.

FreePascal at www.freepascal.org is a fast object pascal compiler (and more),
that runs on more than 20 platforms (linux, windows, BSD, OS/2, DOS, PowerPC,
and many more).

The LCL currently supports linux (gtk, gtk2 and qt4), all flavours of windows,
even wince, Mac OS X (gtk, qt4 and carbon), FreeBSD (gtk, gtk2).
There is experimental support for Solaris and the native pascal backend fpgui
which runs on windows, wince and linux.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compilation:
You don't need ./configure, just do

  []$ make clean all
  
This will create the lazarus executable. Start it and enjoy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation and Requirements:

See the file docs/INSTALL.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage:

Start the IDE with:
  []$ cd your/lazarus/directory
  []$ ./lazarus


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation:

The official site is www.lazarus.freepascal.org. There you can find the FAQ -
the frequently asked questions.
Documents about specific topics can be found at lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net.
Examples, how to use the LCL can be found in the 'examples' directory.
Help, documents and files about FreePascal are at www.freepascal.org.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
