When I started on Lazarus had the same problem. Several others in the list mention to have it. Some one suggested to send the question to FAQs. I downloaded Controls.pp unit, but I do not remember where ( I could not fint it in the Lazarus page again) . I wil send you directly to your mail an attachment with that unit. Place it into the lazarus\lcl subdirectory. Return to lazarus subdirectory and type make lazarus
I hope it works.

You use make to build lazarus. Make is a kind of a script interpreter which iterperts Makefile. Herein is defind when what commands with what options should be run.
More about how to build lazarus is covered in the howto: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/how.php3?language=english

I downloaded lazarus.zip again, and it contains controls.pp. Roberto Machorro

try to locate them with a search on your disk and put this directory to your include

I don't know about makefiles. What is this?

make (in /pascal/bin/win32) use a makefile in your directory for compile/ linking all of your project...

Does it exist? Did you search for it? It should be in you rlazarus/lcl directory. If you are using MAKEFILEs then the makfile should have added that to your path.

Are you doing a

make lazarus
?
