Windows version

[shadowman]

So, where it is? What's with the windows version? Where are binaries? :shock:

[Anonymous]

Finally I've compiled (using fp compiler version 1.0.10) windows version of lazarus from sources, but there where some problems:
1: compiling under windows me (probably win98/95 too) is very hard because of the windres program which doesn't work properly under this system. I've changed my system to WinXP.
2: used function GetEnv in lazconf.inc cannot be found. It seems like it has been changed to GetEnvironmentVariable. I've changed GetEnv to GetEnvironmentVariable in lazconf.inc.

Ähm...could you publish that binaries anywhere?

Thanks

Yes, some Windows binaries would be really cool.

Windows binaries will happen eventually. but it is silly to make special binaries for a cvs version when its not even finished/fullly useable, wait for the  release or build it yourself.

And if you cannot compile it yourself as is you surely won't be able to make use of it since you are going to have the same issues with any programs you try and build using it.  :wink:

I built it without any issues myself just to test and I had to do nothing special whatsoever, no extra utilities, no code change, just install the full fpc 1.0.10, set the win32 environment path properly, grab lazarus cvs, and make. hey presto.   :?

It would be nice to have Win32 binaries, compressed by www.7-zip.org best free archiver for win32.

How do we make windres work under win98?

Found a different windres version at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mingw32/message/614
i.e. at:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/private/collard/windres-exe.zip

This one might help

I solved it by calling windres manually:
windres -i lazarus.rc -o lazarus.res --preprocessor d:\apps\fpc\bin\win32\cpp.exe

The trick is to use the forward slashes not the reverse ones.

Then re-makeing works a bit more until this error:

D:/APPS/FPC/BIN/WIN32/ppc386.exe -gl -Fulcl/units -Fulcl/units/win32 -Fucompo

s -Fudebugger -Fupackager -Fupackager/units -Fu. -Fiinclude -Fiinclude/win32

What's the problem now? Any ideas?

Manually seems to work too...
something like:
ppc386 -Iinclude -Iinclude/win32 -Fulcl\units\win32 -Fulcl\units -Fucomponents\units lazarus.pp
I have to add all directories which are missing of course

[Anonymous]

This compiles it:
ppc386 -Iinclude -Iinclude/win32 -Fulcl\units\win32 -Fulcl\units -Fucomponents\units -Fupackager -Fupackager/units -Fudesigner -Fudesigner/units -Fudebugger -Fucomponents/mpaslex lazarus.pp

But it's too long for the Dos prompt. So write it using Textpad etc and save it as a batch file, then run the batch file.
It will create the lazarus.exe..

I've run the exe..
It says it needs the fpc sources now.

Oh.. I'll download them then.

For anybody who's interested in grabbing a copy of pre-compiled Win32 version of Lazarus CVS (2003-11-17) here's a link:

NOTE: This has NOT been thoroughly tested and is NOT guaranteed to work.

Heyh! It actually almost did work  :mrgreen: looking nice under win too!

Does it need GTK+ DLLs in order to run Lazarus under Win32?
What is the best place to download them?
