[Lazarus] Where is fp ide located on my Mint 10 Linux system (ubuntu based)?

[Peter E Williams]

Hi Michael Van Canneyt,

Gee, the famous developer of FPC. Nice to meet you.

I will study your reply. At the moment I am have problems actually finding
fp and fpc binaries on my Mint 10 system (Linux).

see attached file, my system, when I do a "locate fp" gives me 9924 results!

The documentation *appears* to not say the location fp and fpc binaries.

Where is fp ide located on my Mint 10 Linux system?

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu26.html#x53-600006.1.1

I would like to suggest adding a table here listing the default locations
for fp and fpc on different platforms. Tables are, of course, standard html.
I have included below an ASCII mockup, as I am using gmail and I cannot
quickly generate a html file, on the run.

This data could even be stored in a comma separated value (csv) file,
allowing importing into pascal programs.

If you can supply me with the csv data file as an attachment the I will edit
the page (
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu26.html#x53-600006.1.1 ) with
kompozer and send the html page to you.

6.1.1 Starting the
IDE<http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/user.html#QQ2-53-62>

The IDE is started by entering the command:
fp

at the command line. It can also be started from a graphical user interface
such as Windows.

Remark: Under Windows, it is possible to switch between windowed mode and
full screen mode by pressing Alt-Enter.
