The latest HowTo for Win32 is on http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org

These seem to have been replaced by 19991218. I'll need to update the HowTo.

Jeff.

While you are changing the win32 HOW-TO,

the folowing things have changed in the last month or so as well:
- the gtk support has been moved to /packages/gtk, so cvs commands and directory structure needs to be adjusted.
- the fpcdir environment variable is not longer needed
- because of the new makefiles -which use an environment variable under win32 to pass command line parameters to the compiler- an snapshot is needed to cycle to compiler. PPC386 v0.99.12 can't read out the environment variable and therefore can't be used to start cycling the compiler.

Could some one please back me up on the last issue, because I don't know if it is still exactly true.

Actually they are one in the same. The prefered way to access it is via www.lazarus.freepascal.org but they both point to the exact same place.

I wasn't sure. But it is better to use the freepascal name, as you may decide to move it one day!

Thanks for find that info Jeff. Make the changes to your copy of the HowTo but I can just manually make thos changes you don't need to send me new copy. :-)

Cool. I think the title needs fixing too. I believe it says 0.7 but the revision history shows 0.9 (I guess this goes to 1.0 or 0.91???)

Jeff.

this is probably not the right place to let you know, but i found myself having the time to actually start looking at this project to see if i can help or not and was unable to download all the files because of broken links.

on http://www.miraclec.com/lazarus/how.html#WIN32 in the GTK download section http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/gtk+-dev-19990828.zip reports file not found
http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/glib-dev-19990828.zip reports file not found
http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/extralibs-dev-19990828.zip reports file not found

in the CVS section
http://download.cyclic.com/pub/cvs-1.10/windows/cvs-1.10-win.zip can't find this host.... this may not be a link problem, but rather my host.

so that all being said, i am certain that someone can point me in a better direction.

thanks,
jim.

Thanks, I'll have to check on these. You might just want to check the main gtk site for the files until I can come up with a good link.

This one does seem to be OK. I started a download just fine.
