Hi

I have not yet managed to compile Lazarus. I downloaded the Visual Compiler at http://www.codepunk.com/files/lazbuild.zip. I got quite far, but I got an error "identifier CF_TEXT not found". After performing a search, the text CF_TEXT appears in the mw_edit units, but I don't know if it is declared there.

What should I do next? I have downloaded all the packages at www.freepascal.org and the Lazarus source. I don't have CVS. Do I need it? If so, where can I get the Win32 version (I did look at their website, but I could only find Linux and Mac versions).

Thanks

Regards

Do not worry about CVS just yet. The compiler will tell you which line and in what file that error occured just comment out the CF_TEXT stuff. You are probably going to get one or two more errors almost the same comment those lines and you should be working just fine.

Where (and when) did you get the Lazarus sources from ? The CF_xxx constants are defined in the lcllinux unit. These constants where moved to that unit a week ago, so on older sources you might get this error.

If you use the source zips build from cvs you don't neet cvs yet. If you want to join us in development or if you want to reduce bandwidth you might want to use cvs

If so, where can I get the Win32 version (I did look at their website, but I could only find Linux and Mac versions).
