Indy10 Free Pascal

Question

I try to follow to install instruction for Indy10 and Lazarus. After downloading Indy 10 download , using the correct password I see only Delphi code, no folder with the name lazarus or freepascal. Has the Lazarus version from Indy10 been removed ?

Answer 1

I'm not a frequent Lazarus user, but I just read these instructions here and here (from wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org) . They don't mention any separate Lazarus folder at all.

When I download the latest nighly build, this is confirmed. In the folder Lib you can find all package files, including the dpk (Delphi) and the lpk (Lazarus) package files.

In the source (Lib/System), you find IdCompilerDefines.inc , which has a lot of defines for various compilers, amongst which FreePascal. These defines are used in the code to make specific exceptions, when needed, in an otherwise shared code base.

Answer 2

I use Indy 10 with Lazarus on both Windows and Linux. It works great.

I didn't install it into Lazarus via packages. I just directly uses the relevant units and creates objects at runtime. This gives me a project which is very portable between different Lazarus installations.
