I have a copy of FPC for Lazarus for win 32 downloaded and installed: C:\FPC202\

I have GTK+ installed. (it was placed .. all its dll's etc in a tree structure): c:\program files\common\GTK2.0\

How do I make a window dialog come on the screen? Is there any samples I don't know about. Let me add I have GTK installed and the FPC GTK demo doesn't compile.. there are so many directories within GTK I don't know what to maybe add to my search path env var. perhaps I should add something to fp.ini to make it know I want/have GTK?

I see Lazarus screen shots online. but I don't know where to begin. I mean.. I'm confused .. I downloaded "LAZARUS" and I got FPC. I presume its compiled with something special for Lazarus to work.. but where IS Lazarus? I run the FPC IDE I get the FPC IDE and it can't compile any of my programs.. I seem to better from command line.

I'm not a newbie in general. but I feel like one now.. Because with Lazarus.. I am.

My goal is to make a program in FPC that compiles on Win32 and Linux. I was told Lazarus has matured to this level. And I'm sure it has.. but I need a kick in the right direction if anyone can help.. I'd really appreciate it. so let me say Thank you now before you even respond.

Thank You

To you Lazarus under Windows you don´t need GTK at all.

It´s pretty clear you went to the download page and downloaded the wrong package.

The download page is:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339

Go to this page, and scroll down until you see "Lazarus Windows Binaries". This is what you need to download.

On that same download page there is a link to download Free Pascal, but you should NOT download it, because the Lazarus Windows Binary already comes with Free Pascal and everything else you need to use Lazarus.

To make it easier for you, here is a direct link to download Lazarus:

Hi,

this patch adds some menu related constants into the Windows RTL and also adds the MENUINFO structure.

Applied, thx though I doubt that it compiled for you unchanged ;)

Sorry for the missing semicolons.

Martin.
