I've been watching this project for a while now, and am going to try to find time to get involved. I REALLY like the idea of write once port to whatever OS you want. I'm a big Delphi fan, and am also a Linux fan...(you know the rest).

I was beginning to think that this project was dead, but I'm happy to see by the mailing list that it's not.

OK, so I've downloaded the source, I've downloaded the freepascal, (should I be able to compile the source in Delphi?!) and I've downloaded cygwin. (I'm trying to build a windows compile).

I've also installed all these beasts, but when I try to compile the lazarus (using cygwin), it gives me errors. The last few lines of the make are as follows:

Compiling interfaces.pp
Compiling .\interfaces\gtk\gtkint.pp
Fatal: Can't find unit GTK
make[1]: *** [allunits.exe] Error 1
make: *** [lcl_all] Error 2

I've also downloaded python (which I believe include gtk stuff), and I've got gtk stuff in my c:\windows directory. What's it looking for?

Best Regards,

Chris Bruner

It can't find the gtk.ppw It is distributed with fpc. I don't know where it is placed, but your ppc386.cfg should point to it.

$(BASEDIR)/units/$(PLATFORM)/gtk

Where basedir is the installation directory (e.g. c:\fpc or /usr/local/lib/fpc), and PLATFORM the supported platform (linux, os2,win32,go32v2 or freebsd)

It is distributed with fpc. I don't know where it is placed, but your ppc386.cfg should point to it.
