I am putting together an actual installation of this download kit. I should have it available later today. It will be a regular Windows installation and it will allow you to install the package in whatever directory you wish.

If I can help, I would sent bug reports to you. (to whom ?);

To this list.

What about designing forms & components on it (a la Delphi ?) Is it planned ?

Further down the road. You know the walk before you run saying. Well we are still at the trying to roll over stage. :-)

It would be a good idea to prepare such a release, periodiccally say every week, with stable options.

Once I have this installation script setup it will be a simple matter to create new install every week. We'll consider it. :-)

Altough it's a great deal to compete with Delphi, I'm sure you're on the right way.

Actually I look at it the other way. Delphi is competing with US. :-)

It's a very good job. I'm an application programmer, and i'm not very good on system things, but

for now I think it would be interesting to get the compiler available from inside Lazarus Ide
(how is it possible to do a 'WinExec' WinAPI equivalent ?)

Congratulations for all the staff, and Hold on !

Thanx Didier it was worth my time if it helped you get running...

Gents,

I put together a brand new lazarus Win32 Developer quick install. Using this you should be able to install everything and compile lazarus in 20 sec or less. The only way I could possibly make it easier is to use a professional installation tool to build a self exetracting deal that would install it.

go to the source download page on the web site http://www.pcpros.net/~vbman and download the quick start kit. This download is 3.9 meg but it sure makes getting up and running a trivial task.

1. Unzip this file to C:\ <--- important "No Warranty if installed elsewhere"
You will then have a directory c:\pp with a bunch of sub directories...

3. Copy the contents(dll's) of the gtkdlls subdirectory to c:\windows or c:\winnt

4. Copy lazbuild.bat in the batchfiles subdirectory to C:\ <--- important "No Warranty if installed elsewhere"

5. run lazbuild.bat

Done!

"You are now ready to hack away at the code in c:\pp\spource\lazarus" Make all of the changes you wan't and just run lazbuild.bat to recompile

Note* The executable will be generated in C:\pp\source\lazarus\lazarus.exe "Click to run"

GTK FCL Lazarus and the Latest Compiler and everything you need is precompiled and included it is not necessary to have any of that code to run this.

Any questions just holler ;) It's 1:00 am and I am going to bed....

WELL DONE :-)))

I have been able to see lazarus for the first time it is absolutly fantastic.

Since I have no joy on Linux I was about to give up. But this shows me taht something can be done :-) , thank you

Didier

Cliff,

Can you please e-mail me instead the latest win32 lazarus file. I cannot download the 4 megs file (damn firewall and proxy and slow connection).

Thanks.

Already done, that's what I use. See the next email.

I was going to offer to work up an install in Wise InstallBuilder if you wanted.
