Lets get the old editor out and use the 92 version. Is there any reason we aren't doing that?

Build lazarus with the new compiler and try to use it ;-) You will notice the reason.

This is the difference between mwedit and the mwedit92 version. There are probable some mixed units hanging around.

If you want to use the normal version you can use make. If you want to use the 92 version (only for testing) you *must* issue "make OPT=-dNEW_EDITOR". This counts for the lazarus, lazarus/examples and lazarus/components dir.

Make sure you do a "make clean" or "make clean OPT=-dNEW_EDITOR" before switching to another editor.

To build lazarus with the default editor issue:
make clean
make ide

To build lazarus with the 92 editor issue:
make clean
make ide OPT=-dNEW_EDITOR

This is true. Comment out those lines. It's a problem with the DEFINE. Some units see the define and are using the new sources but these think it's not defined and are using the old ones.....

Not sure why. I took the buttercolor stuff out now and am hoping that we can simply move to the new version of mwedit Shane
