Installation
LNet 0.5+:
- In the lazarus/components directory, unzip the files from lnet-<version>.zip file. The lnet-<version> folder will be created.
- Open lazarus
- Open the package lnet-<version>/lazaruspackage/lnetvisual.lpk with Component/Open package file (.lpk)
- Click on Install and answer ‘Yes’ when you are asked about Lazarus rebuilding. A new tab named ‘lNet’ will be created in the components palette.
NOTE: users who don’t want to depend on LCL but use LNet in Lazarus (non-visually), can just compile lnetbase.lpk, which adds all the base units to path.
LNet 0.4:
- In the lazarus/components directory, unzip the files from lnet-<version>.zip file. The lnet-<version> folder will be created.
- Open lazarus
- Open the package lnet-<version>/lazaruspackage/lnetpackage.lpk with Component/Open package file (.lpk)
- Click on Compile
- Open the package lnet-<version>/lazaruspackage/ide/lnetidepackage.lpk with Component/Open package file (.lpk)
- Click on Install and answer ‘Yes’ when you are asked about Lazarus rebuilding. A new tab named ‘lNet’ will be created in the components palette.
NOTE: older lNet is extraced to “lnetpackage” dir. Since 0.4.0 the “visual” and “non visual” packages are in one distribution file.
