Try set a full path to the compiler driver binary (fpc.exe) or put its directory in PATH.

Hi leledumbo,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Try set a full path to the compiler driver binary (fpc.exe)

Setting the GlobalPrefix to the full path to fpc.exe, will produce the following error as the GlobalPrefix is referenced more than once.

============================
C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32>fppkg install lazmkunit The FPC Package tool encountered the following error: [lazmkunit] Package hash <none> is not available
============================

or put its directory in PATH.

Your second suggestion,

or put its directory (fpc.exe) in PATH.

proved to be the answer.

================================
C:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32>fppkg install lazmkunit Start building package lazmkunit for target i386-win32. Compiling lazmkunit.pp
[100%] Built target lazmkunit
Installation package lazmkunit for target i386-win32 succeeded ================================

Thanks for your help.
Lars
