Important!!!Lazarus FPC Source Missing!!![SOLVED]

[Robert W.B.]

Hi Friends.
When i downloaded the latest Lazarus with the included FPC,  FPC Source is missing!

I become aware of this behavior on the before with the previous version of Lazarus.

To not include FPC with Lazarus, will mess up things for new users so urgent.
Correct this please.

Thanks in advance.

Windows 10 Lazarus win 64

But what link?
Did you download installer from the official sourceforge repository (which is linked on the left side of the forum)?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2064%20bits/Lazarus%202.0.10/

[Robert W.B.]

Yes I did. Lazarus
               Downloads
               (Laz+FPC)
No FPC Source found?  Lazarus 2.0.10 Windows 10

I also tried the link you provided me with and FPC Source is still missing???

I'm not a Windows user (I compile my Windows applications on macOS) so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I believe you need to point that dialog at the FPC source which I am guessing is included in the installation. I've had the same dialog on macOS.

Yes I did. Lazarus
               Downloads

No FPC Source found?  Lazarus 2.0.10 Windows 10

As trev mentioned it should be included in the installation.  On my Lazarus install on Windows the FPC source is located here:  C:\OpenSourceProjects\lazarus-2.0.10\fpc\3.2.0\source. You have to click on a button in the configuration window you attached to your previous post and select the applicable folder for your installation path.

Yes thanks I know what you mean but, there is no FPC source available in the FPC  directory?
That's seem to be the problem.
I tried to download the FPC but that didn't work either.

Best regards

Run lazarus.exe again. When the "FPC sources not found" message appears, use the browse button and navigate to the folder fpc/3.2.0/source of your installation directory. If this folder exists everything should be fine. Click OK, and Lazarus should contine correctly.

It is not clear to me why you installation is broken. I just did a test installation and it was working fine, I do not see the "FPC Sources not found" error. A few details on how I did the installation:
  - Secondary installation
  - installed into c:\lazarus (installation into c:\program files is not recommended because it requires admin rights to install components),
  - config directory c:\lazarus\cfg.
  - did not register file extensions

I cannot imagine that other settings can produce this error, except for maybe access right issues to the config dir. But please specify how you did the installation.

No, the file has not been changed since its initial upload on July 7.
