Getting started with WinFF

WinFF is a complex program, therefore we strongly recommend our users to read the detailed installation instructions provided by the WinFF developers on the project’s homepage (see link at the end of the article) for the Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and Red Hat Linux OSes.

If you run a different distribution of Linux and WinFF is not available for download on the main software repositories, you can install it from sources, by running the ‘lazbuild -B winff.lpr’ command in the root of the source directory, after download and unpacking the archive.
