Some people compiled the FPC and Lazarus under Win 32 ?
Is there a Howto somewhere to do that ?
(another stupid question i guess, but at least, it would make me go farther..)

I found some precious DLL in TheGimp for Win32
(www.Gimp.org and click about and folow the link to Win32 port)

I installed the full fpc 12 snapshot over the top of the fpc directory I created for CVS, then did an update from CVS. This got my fpc to rebuild, but you're right about the paths. I've tried editing my make files. I was hoping to find a solution that used an environment variable for the seperator, but no luck yet.

Peter just said that problem is fixed with the latest headers available on the Free Pascal site.

I am working on one, but until I can get it to compile, it isn't going to do you much good. I can rebuild fpc, but that is about the extent of it. If you need help just getting CVS set up, I can get you that far. Send email to and I'll send you the (very) rough draft.

but i think you are on the right 'path' .. (hehehe how strange)
i'm not gonna have time to work on it much until monday, but i beleive you should try to change this to define a bunch of win32 dir. what i mean by that is to replace all the directories in the makefile (long and painful) with variable that we would set.
like %BaseDir%
and then append to that the different sub directories like lazarus and fpc
If we succeed in that way, then it will be almost automatic.. and we can even change the makefile in CVS to reflect those changes... but not unless it works in a nice fashion way... :)
It's not the directory tree that is giving me the problem, it is the directory seperator character, which in dos is \ and *nix is / which it the basis of my problem, I think. I know that if I issue the commands the make file generates by hand, as the make file does them, I get the same error, but if I correct the /'s to \'s it does not give me an error. I will work on getting my makefiles to function this weekend, then maybe send them to someone who can make sure I didn't break the *nix functionality, and hopefully update the CVS. Probably won't do much tonight, it's Friday and there is a certain lady I'm looking forward to seeing tonight ;^)
