It's a bug in make for djgpp, compiling the FCL also shows some errors, which are no errors at all and the make runs also successfully.

Finally I got it to compile...
After moving the directory one level up, I got less errors, but it didn't fix it. So last chance was to get a snapshot.
After installing the snapshot of 09/18 it compiled, although some errors appeared. Starting this compilation showed me
an impression of Lazarus. The only thing I'm wondering, that the widgets looked like X11 (or similar) not like Windows.
What should be changed in makefile.fpc to get windows look and feel ? Second question is, how do I manage, that I do not get those errors at compile time ?

I suppose
make LCLPLATFORM=win32
does the trick. But I don't know if the win32 interface is uptodate.

What statements did you add. I maybe missed something

[snip make lcl errors]

I know, that this are bugs of a beginner, but I really like to get this to work. It's to simple, to buy Delphi... So do I get any help out there ??? What should I configure and how !

Thats odd... I recently checked it (on winNT)

Can you do in the lazarus dir:

make clean

and then 6 times

make lcl

?

Wow, you found the undoced feature ;-)

But I don't know if the win32 interface is uptodate.

The win32 interface is far from complete. I think the last changes are from several months (if not a year) ago and are from a time before the major interface change.
The only "working" support it has now is the LCLPLATFORM define I added recently.

Hello out there,
I just downloaded FPC V 1.0 and also LAZARUS. After installing FPC, which seems to be very simple, I unzipped LCL into the source-dir of FPC, so it looks like /pp/source/lazarus with all sub-dirs. Now I tried to compile as described in the HowTo, namely starting MAKE in the directory LAZARUS. All I get is a lot of errors, didn't find this, didn't find that, and so on. After modifying the ppc386.cfg with a lot of -Fu and -Fi statements I ended up with the following bug ...
Back in extctrls.pp

Do these files exist ? If so remove them and try again. Sometimes it looks like a file is locked and can't be read. Don't know what this is.
