20050718 snapshot of Lazarus is broken?

[Phil H.]

When I tried to build Lazarus after installing the 20050718 Win32 snapshot, I got this error after "Build JIT Form" completed:

make.exe[1]: ***[lazarus.res] Error1

No other information about the error was provided.

Thanks.

The makefile doesn't know how to create lazarus.res, if windres is not on the path.

The easiest solution, is to make sure you don't delete the file by doing a clean all, or clean+build IDE.

Alternatively add lazarus\pp\bin\i386-win32 to your path variable before starting lazarus.

I am thinking about how to fix the makefiles.

Vincent,

Adding that to my path doesn't help any. Same error as before when building the 20050722 Lazarus.

Thanks.

:cry: I am having the same problem.  I have set the path, and did a build without a clean.  I am using Windows XP.

If you don't do clean all, then it won't be removed and lazarus.res doesn't have to be made.

So install again, and go directly to the configure build lazarus dialog and uncheck the clean all checkbox.

I hope it will be fixed in the next release (0.9.10).

I uninstalled Lazarus, reinstalled and unchecked the clean all box before rebuilding.  This does allow the build to proceed to startlazarus, but prior to a startlazarus.exe linking error and a make error "make.exe[1]: ***[startlazarus.res] Error1" a lot of messages such as the following occur:

WinExt.pas:199: undefined reference to WINDOWS_SENDMESSAGE$LONGWORD$LONGWORD$LONGINT$LONGINT$$LONGINT'

I have tried this on 3 PCs with Windows XP all with the same results.  Hope this helps to track down the problem.

Thanks,

 I had a similar problem. Once lazarus was uninstalled,  I manually erase the folder I used (c:\lazarus). I install again and it works. Of course i have to add all the components I used. My computer is a Gateway SOLO 5150 with XP pro.

This error should be fixed in tomorrows snapshot (20050809)
