# [Getting Started](https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard/blob/master/docs/LAMW_Getting_Started.txt)
### 1. Get Lazarus for Android
- Option a) [Laz4Android 2.2.2](http://sourceforge.net/projects/laz4android/files/?source=navba) (Windows)
- All cross-android compilers already installed!
- arm-android/aarch64-android/i386-android/x86_64-android/jvm-android
- hint: Install here: "C:\laz4android2.2.2" (not "Program Files" !!!)
- How to:
- Install [Laz4Android2.2.2](http://sourceforge.net/projects/laz4android/files/?source=navbar)
- Install [LAMW](https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard/archive/master.zip)
- Download LAMW and unzip it in some folder
- recommended folder: "C:\laz4android2.2.2\components"
- Packages installations order/sequence:
- tfpandroidbridge_pack.lpk (in "..../android_bridges" folder)
- lazandroidwizardpack.lpk (in ""..../android_wizard" folder)
- amw_ide_tools.lpk (in "..../ide_tools" folder)
- Go to "2. Infrastructure Setup ".
- Option b) [LAMW Manager](https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,45361.0.html)
- All in One! LAMW Manage produces a complete Lazarus for Android environment by automating the step "2. Infrastructure"!
- [LAMW Manager Installer for Linux](https://github.com/dosza/LAMWManager-linux)
- [LAMW Manager Installer for Windows](https://github.com/dosza/LAMWManager-win)
- Option c) [Fpcupdeluxe](https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases) (Linux and Windows)
- [Linux + Fpcupdeluxe + LAMW](https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard/tree/master/docs/linux/tutorial_by_waynesherman)
- Option d) How to: Do It Yourself!
- d.1) Get [Lazarus2.x.y](https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/)
- d.2) Install [LAMW](https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard/archive/master.zip)
- Download LAMW and unzip it in some folder
- recommended folder "C:\lazarus2.x.y\components"
- Packages installations order/sequence:
- tfpandroidbridge_pack.lpk (in "..../android_bridges" folder)
- lazandroidwizardpack.lpk (in ""..../android_wizard" folder)
- amw_ide_tools.lpk (in "..../ide_tools" folder)
- d.3) Get [FPC source code](https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/archive/main/source-main.zip) (trunk):
- Unzip it in some folder and point up the source path in step "d.4"
- d.4) Go to Lazarus menu "Tools" --> "[LAMW] Android Module Wizard" --> "Build FPC Cross Android" and repeat the "Build and install" process once for each architecture.
- (x) Armv7a + Soft (android 32 bits <<-- tested!)
- Build
- Install
- (x) Aarch64 (android 64 bits <<-- tested!)
- Build
- Install
- hint: After "build" and "install" the cross-compilers and after to do all "2. Infrastructure" go to "3. Using LAMW" and try to create your first [New] LAMW project!
- If you get an error "Fatal: Cannot find unit system used by fcllaz of package FCL." when trying "Run" --> "Build" your project then go to "fpc.cfg" (ex. "C:\lazarus2.x.y\fpc\3.2.2\bin") and:
- change:
```cfg
#searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-FuC:\lazarus2.x.y\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget
-FuC:\lazarus2.x.y\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget/*
-FuC:\lazarus2.x.y\fpc\$FPCVERSION/units/$fpctarget/rtl
```
- to:
```cfg
#searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-FuC:\lazarus2.x.y\fpc\3.2.2/units/$fpctarget
-FuC:\lazarus2.x.y\fpc\3.2.2/units/$fpctarget/*
-FuC:\lazarus2.x.y\fpc\3.2.2/units/$fpctarget/rtl
```
- and go to Lazarus IDE menu "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Environment"
- "FPC Source"
- change:
```cfg
$(LazarusDir)fpc\$(FPCVer)\source
```
- to:
```cfg
$(LazarusDir)fpc\3.2.2\source
```
