hi everyone!

i'm new to fpc but used to program in bp7.
after installing fpc i tried to compile a simple 'Hello, World!' Program from the ide, but i only got the error message:
Can't open fp____.err

my system is NT4 SP6a german, target win32
i had no problem using the comand line ppc386.exe on the same source so it seem to be an ide problem.
can anyone give me a hint how i can get this up and running?

thanks, thomas

This is a bug in the 1.0.2 release of the IDE. It happens when you try to compile a program which is not in the current directory. Either start fp.exe from the directory where the source file is located, or use the "Change Directory..." command from the file menu to go to the directory where the file is located as a workaround.

In the mean time, this and many other bugs in the ID have already been fixed. You can get a binary snapshot of the current IDE from <ftp://einstein.brain.uni-freiburg.de/pub/fpc/snapshot/v10/win32/>, get both basew32.zip and idew32.zip. Read "ide-etc-read.txt" for installation instructions.

(this is for the windows version, the dos version is under go32v2/ and the files there are called basego32.zip and idego32.zip)

Thanks Jonas for yur help, now the IDE works! :-)
But I also tried to use the Free Pascal Editor v1.35. Here everthing seem sto work fine but the Compiler produces a:
Hint
SYSWIN32.PP
Conditional I386 was not set at startup in last compilation of syswin32.pp

I even tried to recompile the win32 rtl but nothing changed. What does this message mean? Does it cause any problems, which I haven't encounterd yet?

How can I compile other rtl trees than the win32. Unfortunally the makefiles of the others seem to be some kind of corrupted:

Thanks, Thomas

This means that a conditional I386 was active when syswin32 was compiled, and it isn't active in your program. You can ignore this.

You can ignore this.

Hints are really only hints:
these messages can mainly be helpful if you get a problem If your compile fails, it could be due to the fact that you are recompiling a set of units with different conditionals.

If your compile is successful, you can safely ignore all hints.
