Greetings: A few suggestions: Shane/Cliff: could you please add the current lazarus website to your sig when posting to this list. Michael H.: The win32 install works like a champ. You might want to add a list of the files your writing outside of the \pp dir and their destinations to the readme file. In other words, make a list of the dll's you're putting in winsys. Also please note the change you're making to autoexec.bat. Michael H.: in your batch files, you delete the .ow and .ppw files before compile. I'm pretty sure there's a compiler switch you could use instead that would look a little cleaner. I can't remember what it is but there was a note about it a few months ago and it works.

The switch is '-B' for 'Build'.

Questions: On a win32 setup, where should the CVS sources be in relation to the \pp directory?

I checkout all source files under
/pp/src

Does someone have a "good" directory tree they could pass on that includes the \pp and cvs directorys?

If you do as I said above, you should have a good working tree. The following modules must be checked out:

rtl
compiler
base
gtk
fcl
lazarus

Is there a cvs how-to like Sergio's geared to the "good" win32 setup above? In other words, after downloading new source via cvs what steps are taken to update the working source? Are there any other environmental variables necessary (like FPCDIR) that need to be set to make everything work as expected (like the makefiles)?

After doing the 'co base', you should copy the files Makefile and makefile.fpc from the base subdirectory to the src directory.

if you then set FPCDIR to /pp/src, everything should function correctly.

Michael.

Exactly where should makefile.fpc and ppc386.cfg reside?

Thanks!
