0.9.1 installer/binary

[IgD]

I would like to try the 0.9.1 release posted in the news section.  The downloads section seems only to contain a SF link to the 0.9b installer/binary.  Can you update this please?

[IgD]

Is there somewhere else I could download the 0.9.1 release?  Do you have to download the source and compile it to get the latest version?

[Vincent Snijders]

It can be dowbloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339

But there is no download yet for win32.

I don't understand Vincent.  What do I need to do to get it working?

[Vincent Snijders]

If you want a windows version you need to compile it yourself from the source.
You can use the compiler witch is part of the 0.9b binary version, but need to get the lazarus source from CVS or as a zip-file. For more info see http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=StaticPage&file=index&sURL=cvs

HTH,
Vincent.

Vincent, I downloaded the latest Lazarus binary.  Using WinCVS I downlaoded the latest code base.  I overwrote the codebase in the Lazarus binary intall with the one I got from CVS.  Then I ran make.  This is what I got:

What am I doing wrong?

[Anonymous]

I uninstalled everything, then I installed the latest Windows binary I downloaded from Sourceforge.  Here was the filename:
lazarus-0.9b_20040102-win32_binary.exe

The exact same problem occurred as above:
MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 1998 Inprise Corp.
Error makefile 8: Command syntax error

Error makefile 2317: Command syntax error
*** 1053 errors during make ***

Please advise

[Vincent Snijders]

You are using the wrong make utility, one suplied by Inprise.

You should use the gnu make utility provided by fpc. Check your path environment variable and make sure that the path to the fpc-dir (usually c:\pp\bin\win32, but might have installed in a different directory) is before the path where the Delphi make.exe is located.

[IgD]

Vincent, you were exactly right.  Make was running from my Delphi 7 directory instead of C:\pp\bin\win32.  Once I got that straight, things worked better however I'm still having problems (see below).  What am I missing?  Thanks!

[IgD]

The problem seems to be here in the makefile:

PWD:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /pwd.exe,$(SEARCHPATH))))
ifeq ($(PWD),)
PWD:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /pwd,$(SEARCHPATH))))
ifeq ($(PWD),)
$(error You need the GNU utils package to use this Makefile)

Somehow PWD.EXE isn't being found in my path.  However it is there I checked the environmental variables and ran it from a DOS prompt from the Lazarus directory. ?

[IgD]

Neli and I found a bug in the Makefile.  We also found a workaround which involves setting the path to C:\pp\win32\bin.  See http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=BugTracker&file=index&sAction=detail&bugID=199 for the bug report.

Hello

I am a novice and I was a delphi programmer (just for hobby).

So I want to develop with the lazarus evironment:

What I have to do if I want to compile the lazarus source with the Compiler 1.9.2?

Is this possible?

Bye

Aho

[Vincent Snijders]

Some infomation about this topic is at  http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/index.php?wiki=InstallingLazarus

If you have any problems, let it know at this forum.

[BrainChemistry]

Hi there!

I made as advised in installing instruction but received following errors:


(http://unterhaltung.freepage.de/tycoon/sam/fehler1.jpg)

Compiling process starts without problems until error appears.
What can I do?

Thx for help.

[Vincent Snijders]

I have seen this bug too. I wil try to create a patch today.

Info for other lazarus-developers: fpc 1.0.x needs a type cast to windows.rect.
