[lazarus] hi

[Didier Gasser-Morlay]

I connected yesterday to the cvs to download the lazarus and ide code. 

I am running on Linux. Whenver I try to do a make, it complains about a
FPCDIR & FPCMAKE not set up. FPCDIR I can figure out, but FPCMAKE ???

The thing is I'am new to Linux, FPC, Lazarus, CVS and coming from a long
background in Windows/Delphi/Powerbuilder .... may be I'am trying to
learn too many things at the same time :-( ? but it's getting
frustrating as every time I try to do something I bang my head on a new
wall.

So do you have somewhere a paper for the dummies or newbies describing
the (proper) setup of FPC and lazarus so that I can install things and
start rock and rolling and may be contribute either to Lazarus and FPC.
The work your have undertasken is BRILLIANT and I'd love to help as much
as I can.

Thanks in advance 
I hope I was not too off-topic
Didier
