[Bug 303709] Re: Installation does not set Freepascal source directory

[Paul Gevers]

** Description changed:

+ The symptom is that Lazarus, when it starts up, displays a message box
+ saying
+ 
+ "The Free Pascal source directory was not found. Some code functions will not work. It is recommended that you install it and set the path 
+ Environment -> Environment Options -> Files [Ignore]"
+ 
+ A screen-shot is attached to the bug.
+ 
+ I can confirm that the relevant directory is installed (in Xubuntu, and probably also was in Kubuntu) and it is just
+ the Environment Option setting that is missing. The text of the message box misled me.
+ 
+ After setting this path correctly the message does not return. The
+ preferred behavior of the package should be that this path is set
+ automatically. Otherwise, the warning message should be changed.
+ 
+ === Original description:
  Binary package hint: lazarus
  
  Appears to be the same as
     #126003 Please add package fpc-src
  
  But that bug is said to be fixed. Well it isn't fixed in Kubuntu/Xubuntu
  8.10 (or current updates).
  
  BTW Just installing the missing package(s) isn't sufficient - the
  Lazarus IDE Environment Options FPC Source directory needs to be filled
  in (with /usr/share/fpcsrc/2.2.0/).
  
  Lazarus package version 0.9.24-0-9
  
  BTW Launchpad is VERY slow (my broadband connection is fine)
