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

Lazarus is a Rapid Application Development Tool for Free Pascal.
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.

Free Pascal 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 (carbon, gtk, qt4), 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

Under Ubuntu 10.10 and above you need
  []$ LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 ./lazarus

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