Why an xxxxxx. EXE to download the new Lazarus ?change virus scanner.
My virusscanner rings always twice.. the most malicious files are exe files.
Please can you al new versions repack to a Zip, Rar of 7Z ?
Why an xxxxxx. EXE to download the new Lazarus ?As usual: either false positive or your system is infected already (some viruses attach a hook that will infect every exe files found). If the hash is the same as provided from the download source (no idea where it is), then it must be false positive. In that case, try lowering the heuristic settings of your antivirus. If it doesn't have one, consider replacing with another which has. Antivirus without tunable heuristic is a garbage.

The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of Lazarus 1.4.4.
This release was built with FPC 2.6.4, same as the previous
release Lazarus 1.4.2.
Here is the list of fixes for Lazarus 1.4.4:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4_fixes_branch#Merged_revisions_for_1.4.4
Here is the list of changes for Lazarus and Free Pascal:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4.0_release_notes
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.6.4
Important note for Mac OS X: OS X 10.10 Yosemite no longer supports the default debugging format of FPC 2.6.4 (-g stabs). Lazarus now uses -gw (dwarf) instead on darwin.
The release is available for download on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/
Choose your CPU, OS, distro and then the "Lazarus 1.4.4" directory.
Windows x64 users: please use the 32 bit installer if possible. See
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Windows_Programming_Tips#FPC_2.6.x.2FLazarus_warning_.28Missing_support_for_SEH.29
for more details.
Minimum requirements:
Windows: 98, 2k, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 32 or 64bit.
On 64bit it is recommended to use the 32bit IDE.
Win98 and WinNT IDE needs building with flag -dWIN9XPLATFORM.
FreeBSD/Linux: gtk 2.8 or qt4.5, 32 or 64bit.
Mac OS X: 10.5 to 10.10, 10.9+ debugging requires -gw,
LCL only 32bit, non LCL apps can be 64bit.
The svn tag is

Edit:

So I will inform you today, that the installer (lazarus-1.4.4-fpc-2.6.4-cross-i386-win32-win64.exe) does not Work on Windows 98 SE 4.10.2222 B
Also looking at the release statement, the sentence " Win98 and WinNT IDE needs building with flag -dWIN9XPLATFORM." is a bit ambiguous.
It leaves it open, if you have to rebuild after the installation (with the installer), or if you have to build form sources (i.e., the installer is not meant to even work).
As I said I cant test that myself.
There is a zip file with the sources. But to use that you need a separate installer for fpc first.
They are avail here https://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Win32/
Fpc 2.6.4 is probably the one you need.
In either case: To rebuild the IDE, you need to make sure the fpc bin folder is your PATH.
Then change into the Lazarus directory (that has subdirectories ide, components, lcl and others) and runhttp://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus#Compiling_and_running_Lazarus
" i renamed a folder in the searchpath to borland make"
You renamed it to become "borland make" or you renamed it to become something else?
In case of the former: AFAIK the Borland version of make is not compatible. You should not include it, if you build Lazarus.
There is a "make" in the bin folder of fpc.
IIRC, windres (which is included, but which is 3rd party and we can not change/fix it) has issues with spaces in path names. So you may need to work in a folder without spaces (if win98 allows spaces in folders at all).
