Hello,

Where can I download Lazarus-1.3 snapshots for  64 bit?

Thank you

Edson

What is the procedure to compile?
Thank you very much;

Why not provide a script or ready to use binaries? 10.000 people must to the same again and again and waste their time.

@stocki: sigh. Have you ever looked at
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpcup
or
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Manager

[stocki]

I don't want to build these packages myself.

What happened to the automatic build process under:

ftp://wiki.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/

???

2.7.1 is broken since September 2013!

[BigChimp]

Yes: others have noticed too, see
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,23677.msg141712.html#msg141712

Perhaps the build process is not so automatic or is faulty...

[marcov]

One of the FPC/Lazarus servers has been going through a series of changes were services were pulled from one VM to the other.  Probably the scripts need adaptation for that. (since IP's and locations changed)

Can you please contact and ask people who can fix it?
IMO snapshots are very useful and very helpful in testing of recently fixed bugs in trunk for users who do not want (or do not know how to)  build whole FPC + Lazarus from sources.
I pesonaly have used snapshots often, when they was updated.
And it seems, that others also, because they complain repeatedly.
Thanks in advice ;-)

IMO snapshots are very useful and very helpful in testing of recently fixed bugs in trunk for users who do not want (or do not know how to)  build whole FPC + Lazarus from sources.

I still recommend that everybody learns to use SVN.
Assuming you have FPC installed, checkout Lazarus sources:
 svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
or use TortoiseSVN for the same thing. Then do:
 make all
Later you can build Lazarus from its tools menu. You need the "make" command only once.
It is as simple as it gets, and it brings many benefits.
1. Updating the latest changes (svn up) downloads only those changes and not the whole installation like a snapshot does.
2. Subversion is clever enough to move files in your file system when they were moved in SVN server. If you copy a snapshot on top of an old snapshot, the old file will stay and you cannot compile. We used to have bug reports about "Lazarus does not compile" from those snapshot users.
3. When you participate in testing or solving a certain bug, you can load and test a fix right after it was committed instead of waiting for the next snapshot.
It means you _must_ use SVN if you are involved in the development.

See, SVN brings you lots of good but nothing bad.

But it is so big problem restore build process for daily snapshots ? 
My practical experience says, that there is group uf users (including me), which will benefit from it.

I agree with JuhaManninen. I think, snapshots make people "lazy". Including me  when I see compiled version, I grab it as a first. But build from it source,  it's not a big deal. And community can profit more, if more people is able to build it from svn.

make all

It's not that easy, usually you want to use FPC svn too, and if target is x64 Windows

[BigChimp]

Lacak has a point. Regardless of the benefits (or not) of using svn:
1. There's a link to Daily Snapshots on this site
2. This link does not have daily snapshots

So either 1 or 2 should be fixed:
a remove the Daily Snapshots link
b get the snapshot process going again

Seeing that there are quite some people interested in b, I'd suggest looking into that, but if that is not possible, a should be done to minimize confusion, excessive expectations, and the logically following complaints.

Thanks.

Yes, it should be fixed. I have nothing against it but I cannot do it myself. I don't even know who are the people with enough rights for that server.
I just pointed a better and preferred way in case snapshots are not updated.

It's not that easy, usually you want to use FPC svn too, and if target is x64 Windows

Yes it is that easy. FPC must be installed in any case before you can compile Lazarus.
Using development version of FPC is more difficult than using development version of Lazarus, but it is a separate issue.
Once you have (any version or) FPC installed and working, you just do "svn co ..." and "make all" for Lazarus.

Note: you can also use the update tool from BigChimp if you want devel versions of both FPC and Lazarus. It also uses SVN.
